"Dear mama, in case you need to hear it, let me say it plainly. There is nothing wrong with you. If motherhood has unearthed a hidden vault of weakness and inadequacy, you are normal." (page 183)
I love this book! I mean I really love this book! In No Better Mom for the Job, Becky Keife talks about insecurities and inadequacies that you may feel as a mother. Becky shares through personal experience insights that will help encourage you as a mom. Although Becky writes as a mom of elementary age children she often reflects back on the time when her three children were in diapers.
"The season you're in today will not alway be this way. Let this fuel your gratitude for what is and your hope for what is to come" (page 192)
As a mom of older children I found this book a huge encouragement. I enjoyed taking the time to reflect on what I do well. I think as moms we often reflect on what we don’t do well. Becky encourages listing what it is that you do well. She also encourages reaching out for others as a support system and other encouragement along the journey. Becky just doesn’t just share it. She also gives practical advice. As I said I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review. I would recommend this book!
"Oh Motherhood, you are breathtakingly beautiful and heartbreakingly brutal" (page 195).
