The Joy of Motherhood :- Celebrating My Son's Three Years On Steemit
On the 26th of July, 2024,
I was the happiest mother on earth. My facial expression shown in the picture above was as a result of the joy in my heart, the surprises, tears of joy and reflection of moments. The joy of motherhood is seeing your children grow physically, financially, spiritually and academically. Words alone can't express how elated I was that day. Let me tell you what transpired and how it all got started.

I didn't just fancy the idea of making money online after I fell scam for a Ponzi scheme project of which my mates pressured me into doing. That was the last of it and no one could ever convince me to make money online. When steemit was introduced to me, I had zero intentions even when I was forced. It's only my son who got the interest at heart and started blogging.
He has been so passionate about creating contents that he do go extra miles to get creative pictures using people and buildings. It got to the point that he can't drop his phone from his hand. He'll be writing consistently that I sometimes ask him why he's wasting his time on steemit that would one day crash. I told him to remove whatever money he had on steemit or will end up with wasted efforts.
These were discouragements that tend to pull him back but he was hesitant. He kept on pushing. What marvels me is his zeal and determination even when I wasn't seeing any benefits of all his writing. He kept telling me to calm down that everything he's doing has a projection of which I'm patiently waiting. What marvels me is that he's always on his phone. I'll tell him to leave steemit and focus on his academics, he'll tell me that he's balancing both. I'll tell him that he can't use two things and climb a ladder.
He'll tell me straight that I should one day try encouraging him instead of discouraging him. I told him that as a mother, our concerns are on the high, highly placed so to speak if I must say. We can conscious of what our children does so we'll not end up becoming bad parents who refused to give proper guidance. I was scared that he would sacrifice his academics for steemit and then have grades that suffers. To my surprise, I don't just know the kind of grace he has.
Sometimes I wonder how he made good grades by just reading few days to the exams. It was all dawn on me when he got his first phone with his money. I never expected such from steemit. He told me that it's steemit and he did this on his 2nd anniversary. I still wasn't just comfortable with that not until he told me that steemit is more like creating contents like contents creators on different social media platform.

Early this year was when I joined steemit. He transformed my mind into thinking I can be of use to myself, my academics and finances. It all started when he told me I should stop wasting my day as I do go for workout. He told me I can share my daily activities on steemit for others to learn and that I can be supported financially.

He told me I can give health tips since that's what I'm good at.. Ever since I joined steemit, my doubts cleared. I now felt guilty because I've been able to build up my steem power though not good enough due to my hectic work. It was his third anniversary. I felt so guilty that I had never encouraged my son to continue on steemit. The Ponzi scheme fear of steemit crashing was on my mind.
My son is three years on steemit and by God's special grace, he has wiped tears and shame off my face. I just pray for God's protection and blessings to be with him wherever he goes.

This day was one of the most memorable days I've had in my life. It was just full of surprises and my son @bossj23 made tears of joy flow down my chin. There's no greater joy I have other than seeing my children happy and united. The celebration was lit though not extravagant. Time wasn't on my side due to my work for me to make this post and wish him Happy Anniversary. I wish you a Happy Anniversary in arrears.
It's the humility and determination you keep that keeps me going. I'm so proud to be a mother to a son of this nature. This is my Joy, a mother's Joy. Thank You.
