RT from Scarlett Johnson (@scarlett4kids)
My name is Scarlett Johnson; I dreamed of getting my JD and PhD in Poli Sci. I wanted to work in public interest law & fight for the things that mattered…
Then, I had my firstborn child.
He became the love of my life and what mattered most.
I can honestly say I didn't know what selfless agape love was until the moment my son was laid upon my chest.
The five souls I brought into this world are five pieces of my heart walking around outside my body.
I tried to go back to school after I had my son because Modern women didn’t stay home and raise their babies, especially when both parents were working towards post-graduate degrees. We couldn't manage when Dad was a medical student, and all the years I had spent working on my education…could I walk away?
Turns out we could and did manage, and I happily walked away. The night Dad and I decided to trust God, a burden had been lifted, and I leaned into my vocation: motherhood.
Since my son was born, my life hasn't gone as planned. Do I regret those years when my vocation and calling was to be a full-time homemaker? Never.
Thank you, Harrison Butker, for honoring motherhood. I wish more folks with a microphone like yours…had your courage.
