A Mother's Soul's Revelation While on Vacation

O...M...G!!! What in the world was I honking when I decided to take a week long trip without my son!?!? You know what I was thinking? I was thinking how exhausted I was. How burnt out I was beginning to be. I was thinking what EVERY working mother thinks...I Need A Vacation. I told myself that I needed to get away from my environment and just relax. I work really hard (as a lot of mothers do) and i have never had a "real". I knew that if I stayed home on my time off I work I would find something to do that would not be relaxing. I'd find something to clean, something to organize; nothing would be different. So I hopped on a plane. By myself and took off across the country to one of the earths pleasures-Miami's South Beach. Did I have a good time you ask? Well of course I did. I just relaxed. Swam, jet skied, walked the shore, dinner with a sorority sister. Meditated. Prayed. Had a good time. And in he back of my heart was this overwhelming sense that something was missing. I knew exactly what it was when I heard his voice for the first time since I hoped on he plane...my newly turned 5 year old. He was missing. Just his presence makes my world complete. This trip made one thing clear for me--he was enough. It is no secret that I want to be a mother of a whole tribe. But walking along the shore and seeing the other children )and missing mine) it be and so clear- As I desire more this and another of that, he in and of himself is enough for me. His laughter, his naughtiness, his tumbling, his intelligence is enough for me. Moms and mom-types: take a vacation the best way you can. You never know what may be revealed to you while in the quietness of the Spirit. Blessings, Aurellia
