Yesterday, I completed my first triathlon. The sprint to the finish line did not disappoint. The feeling of having a medal placed around your neck as your family watched and cheered cannot be described.
It was life changing. Life changing for me, and I pray for my boys as well. Being a mommy triathlete isn't easy. Four hours after celebratory meal and nap, I was back at it. Making dinner, lunches, and cleaning the kitchen I had ignored as I prepared for my race. Reality. My beautiful reality stopped for a moment to allow me to feel strong but was waiting for me to return. Being a mommy is my reality. It is the reason why I strive to be better. To be strong. To finish what I start. Being a mommy is a blessing from the Lord. It makes me better at what I do because those four boys are watching. Watching how their momma handles adversity. Watching how their momma fights to overcome. Triathletes should all be commended. The training and dedication it takes to complete a triathlon is an incredible accomplishment for anyone. However, there's something so special about crossing the line as a mom. So, today, I salute you moms who choose to do something that inspires your family. Whether it be writing, fitness, homeschooling, a business venture, or ministry. Three cheers to you. May your children understand one day that you did it for them. May they rise up and call you blessed. Because, you deserve it!
