Motherhood: The Queen in the Mud

Guest post by Rivka Nehorai (aka Mrs. Pop Chassid).

It seemed like such a simple idea. One I had heard before, and yet, when the mother of fourteen in a recent article on JewishMom.com described how she pulls herself up from motherly difficulties by reminding herself she’s a queen, something suddenly clicked.

I looked at myself; my exhausted, overwhelmed self with two little sick girls to take care of, and asked myself: do I consider myself a queen? Which was a pretty laughable statement, answerable with a decidable no.

I realized in that moment that I didn’t feel admiration or respect for myself. I felt overweight from pregnancy, perhaps a bit pathetic, embarrassed, and upset.

It seems like the ultimate irony; why would a queen be down in the dirt, changing diapers, trying to reason with/cajole/discipline an energetic two year old? Wouldn’t a real queen be served rather than serving?

And I reflected that the test for a real queen (for royalty is deeper than blood, thicker than circumstance, but an essential integral element of a person) is to leave her throne and her place of control and to go to the field, working her butt off, digging, sweating, and yet remain a queen.

I reflected in how when my husband and I married, we swore to make each other a king and queen respectively, yet we forgot about the responsibility we have  to place the royal crown on ourselves first without relying  on the other person to inform us of our dignity.

And I pondered on this – all this time… all this anxiety… my negative emotions… could they have stemmed from a misinformed mistranslation of the problem? A problem of an unannounced internal relationship of conditional love: I will love myself if

If I get things done.

If I do things right.

If I look and act up to my expectations.

If others respect me.

Then I will respect myself, feel dignified, feel like a queen.

But we are not royalty because of what we do.

It is our birthright, our destiny, our deeply ingrained character trait.

Sent from above to be tapped into down here.

And our children, our children will thank us for remembering this destiny, this truth.

For they do not want to bring us down.

They want us to go down from our castles, from our thrones, to join them in the mud and chaos.

And bring them up.

    Beautiful. Thank you for this. It is certainly hard to remember sometimes when we feel more like servants than queens. I love the imagery of getting down there with them and pulling them up with our inherent royalty.

    Do you need your ex husband or lover urgently? ?

    My name is Nora woodland from the United States of America and am here to share a testimony i would please want you to read careful. I was married for seventeen years until misfortune came in. My husband and i were living happily with our children and enjoyed the company of each other. Our eldest daughter eloped with her boyfriend and this cost my husband his job because he could no longer concentrate on his job and this almost tore our home apart. My husband lost his job and we were living on the little income i was making from my cabbage. This really tormented our home cos my husband loves her more than our other kids. I tried all i could do to make my husband happy even when i wasn’t happy. This happened for sometime and he had cardiac arrest. We spent virtually all the money we had and still the condition did not improve. I was left with no choice than to sell the stuffs in our house, I was able to realise some money which was spent on his medical bills. I did this for a while until we had no money on us again. We came home and was hoping he could get better. He continued like that for some months and we decided to seek for solution else where. I went online where i met many self acclaimed doctors and spell casters but none could help. I then came across this particular caster whose testimonies i have read. His name is Dr.Brave he promised to help and he did in a way i find very surprising to explain. He told me that he would cast some spells to make my daughter come back and to get my husband his job back. It was like an impossible task. But with the help and intervention of this prophet of GOD, my daughter came back home and saw her dad was sick and she cried and asked for forgiveness. My husband after a week became whole again and another spell was cast to get him his job back. Like a dream it happened. My daughter is back home and my loving husband is well again and now has his job back. So good people of the world i want you to help me in saying a big thank you to Dr.Brave for his intervention. This is one Dr i will seriously recommend for anyone with issues of such nature or any other problem. Simply contact him on his email via bravespellcaster@gmail.com
