ON BEING A MOTHER

Denise Mira, speaker, author and mother of five wrote, “I could have been someone else in this world!” But my silent screams remain my private thoughts. Only God hears them. And He answers. He gently reminds me of who I am in this world. I’m a builder of strong men and women for the tomorrows of this nation, this world, this century…fathers and mothers, leaders and friends and entrepreneurs and only God knows the rest. I am writing history through these young men and women as I carefully, diligently, tirelessly, train and pray them into the kind of men and women they must be for their generation and generations to come. The world waits for their greatness, which, to a large extent, can only be born through my sacrifice. I lay down my rights daily for their betterment. Instead of a briefcase, I carry a vision. I keep my vision before me, being careful not to sink into the slums of simply being a housewife. My task is of far greater import. The world may never know my name, but they will feel my impact as I turn these young men and women loose on our culture in the days ahead. I’m building a home, a refuge, a base of operations for these men and women in training. I mine the imperishable gold in the malleable hearts of these young men and women.”
