Steeming Community Contest: At My Strongest| Embracing Being a Mom and a Wife

You never realize how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

We all have battles we've won, some of them almost left us frustrated but we never gave up in the end. I have always been a happy go lucky person. Growing up I have seen my older brothers don't take life seriously. Fun and enjoyment was one of their priority. So as I grow I have made it a motto to just enjoy.

But there are things that will suddenly come and will not prepare you. I consider this as my strongest moment.

A young lady with an incomplete family is going to start her own family. How will she be able to handle things at the age of 22. Getting pregnant early I wouldn't say it was unplanned, but I would honestly say I was unprepared. For six months I hid my pregnancy to my mom, it was so hard not telling her the truth. I was too scared to tell her and of how she would react. But God was so good to me that my mother accepted the pregnancy calmly.

Having my first born I didn't know anything about pregnancy and being a mother. I have no idea what to do or prepare. But it was then I realize that there is really nothing you can do to prepare motherhood. It just happens and in a snap you are a mom.

The moment you become pregnant you'll have to accept the challenge of motherhood. Giving birth without my husband at my side because he was looking for a job was really tough. In the labor room for almost 24 hours was just the hardest, but then I survived it and even gave birth again to my second child.

My strongest moment will always be the time I became a mother and a wife. No idea of what I am doing at the begining and even until now I sometimes don't know what I am doing.

But seeing my precious kids grow up well I am happy and contented. I know I may not have done a perfect job as their mother but I will continue to learn to be one. I will definitely make a lot of mistakes, i won't be able to answer all their questions but I will promise to be always there whenever they need me.

To my husband who accepted my imperfections I am always grateful for his understanding. Being his wife wasn't something I practiced and prepared but for 12 years being together I might have done a great job.

Sharing this is something I am proud of, I know I am not perfect as a mother and as a wife but thats okey. I wanna tell you that being imperfect doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you human. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and get frustrated, the important thing is you tried. Try again until you make it right.

At times we also have to be weak for us to discover how to be strong.

I invite @gilbertthegreat @kyrie1234 and @jes88to share their strongest moment.
