Being a mom can be the biggest stretch of your life. But it’s so worth it. Those are the sentiments of Susan Merrill, as she reflects on her own life as a mother of five. Susan admits that she found her mothering answers in the book of Nehemiah. Like Nehemiah, Susan states that mothers need to build a wall around their children and open the gates, which she equates to privileges like dating and cell phones, only as wide as each child is appropriately able to handle. A mother’s perception will help her in this task.
