KFJ 2 – The Journey: Mothers & Motherhood

Today, my message is centered on the journey of being a mother and motherhood. May is a month in which we think of mothers; I am giving a tribute to my mother. Additionally, I share my faith experiences being a mother myself.

Motherhood is one of the steps in my faith journey. This episode is about that journey, and how my mother’s faith influenced me. I still need to rely on Heavenly Father’s guidance.

I believe we all lived a pre-mortal life before receiving our bodies. I didn’t grow up knowing this concept, but it made sense when the missionaries introduced me to this enlightening principle. I want to share three experiences that testify to the truth of faith to follow the impressions.

Since I started my family later in life, I thought I would not have more children. I was content with having a boy and a girl. Yet, one day while I was putting my children in the car, I received an impression that another child of mine was nearby. I was amazed by that thought. I didn’t have three children, but the feeling was profound. A few days later, I found out that I was expecting a baby. And around Christmas that year, we welcomed a little boy.

The second incident happened about two years later. While sitting in our temple watching one of the ordinances, I felt that another child was waiting to come to our family. A few months later, our second daughter was born. By this time, I was in my late thirties, so I didn’t anticipate having more children. But apparently, my family was not complete. As I ponder that period in my life, I recognize God’s hand in all, even during a complicated miscarriage that I experienced. Finally, I delivered my last baby, a little boy, four years later.

Throughout years of motherhood, I have learned that children don’t come with a manual. Yet, with the help of Heavenly Father, I was able to nurture each child in their own way.

“The moment a child is born, a mother is also born. The woman existed, but the mother – never. A mother is something absolutely new.”

Polish writer Zofia Kossak-Szczucka
“Matka, jak Pan Bóg, może kochać wszystkie swe dzieci, każde z osobna i każde najwięcej.”

To translate, it means (A mother, like God, can love all her children, each one individually and each of them the most).

Lyrics & Music

I will share a piece of music that I composed for my oldest son, titled “Julianka Kołysanka” (Julian’s lullaby).

In this recording, he is playing with his sister. Each of my children has a personal composition of music that I wrote and dedicated. Just as they are individual, each piece has a unique character.
