I am a young mom. Not with my biological children, but with my spiritual daughters and sons. Now, I have this eleven spiritual daughters, but six of them are really my friends in my recent college university. I only have one spiritual son for now. I am taking good care of them and I am treating them as if they were really my own children. Well, maybe I can't act like a real mother for now, but I am making sure that they have me as their true friend whom they can be open with. I love it every time they share their secrets and problems with me because I can feel that they really trust me. Being their spiritual mother is really hard. Guiding them, hearing their problems, providing their spiritual needs sometimes, giving them a little relief when experiencing some emotional problems, making sure that they are growing well spiritually. All of it is really hard.But I'm telling you, all those hard works are truly worth it!
If you are seeing them changing for good, learning well, and especially when they are applying every words that you are telling them, it really gives me a big heart. That is why I really love them so much, even if they are giving me headaches sometimes. But it is a part of it and I am accepting those things because it is really my own choice to love them. Having this kind of experiences now really teaches me a lot of lessons. It teaches me how to be patient every time that I am tested, how to be thrifty so that I can provide some of their needs, how to plan and understand each people, how to be strong and how to become a loving lady.
There was a time that one of them refuse to talk to me and ignores my personal messages. It really gave me a lot of depression thinking how will I get her back. But God did not allow me to have a stressful days because of it. He taught me how to wait patiently until that spiritual daughter of mine comes back towards me and listen to God's words again. Only eight of them are active now. Maybe the others are just busy with their own lives, but someday I know that God will make way and He will bring those children back to life and will give them the passion that everyone will be inspired of. I know, in some other times, they will surely be a great leaders that will share God's love towards every people in this world. Words that will surely guide the path of every person who will hear it. Words that can change even the worst lives on earth. Words that will make your life upside down.
Those children really inspire me to keep going even if life becomes so hard on me. They are one of my inspirations and strengths. And I will not give up on them with God on my side giving me the light that leads me to the right path.
