A Mother’s Keep
40 Years Ago
For so long, I wrestled with a deep and lingering question: Did God make a mistake when He made me? I had been carrying the weight of a mother wound I hadn’t even named yet—a wound that made me question my worth, my femininity, and my place within God’s divine plan. Like so many women, I was raised within a framework of faith that often celebrated the masculine while silencing the feminine, leaving me wondering if my womanhood was something to be ashamed of rather than embraced.
But the Holy Spirit, the very breath of God, whispered a truth into my soul: You were made for God. Not for man. Not for the approval of this world. Not to be diminished, silenced, or reshaped to fit into a narrow view of Christian womanhood. I was created intentionally, purposefully, and beautifully in the image of God.
That truth changed everything.
Healing the Mother Wound
A mother isn’t just the one who gives birth to children—she is the one who gives birth to life itself. She is the nurturer of dreams, the protector of sacred spaces, the one who carries and cultivates wisdom. But what happens when the reflection of motherhood we have received is fractured? What happens when our own mothers, often wounded themselves, have passed down pain instead of peace?
For many of us, this is where the mother wound begins. It is the unspoken grief of not having been fully seen, fully nurtured, or fully celebrated for who we are. It is the ache of longing for a tenderness we never received, the burden of perfectionism and self-sufficiency that tells us we must do it all on our own. And yet, the truth is we were never meant to mother ourselves alone.
Through Christ, I found a way to heal—not by rewriting the past, but by allowing the Holy Spirit to reparent me. She became the mother I chose, the one who gently guided me back to wholeness, showing me that femininity is not a flaw but a reflection of God’s fullness. The Holy Spirit is often overlooked as the nurturing presence of the Trinity, but she is there, offering comfort, wisdom, and restoration.
