There have been no posts here lately. One is due to the pregnancy, and two is due to the holidays. Christmas is hard enough to get through here lately. ::smile::
However, I'm back ! This morning I did want to just take a few moments and speak about something that has been on my heart. I have been struggling lately with quitting my job. There, I said it. I honestly feel horrible about this, and it's something I've been pondering way too much. Due to the baby, my husband made the choice that it was time for me to quit working altogether. My last "official" day is the 31st, however, due to days off, etc. I will only work once more in the next week.
I do feel strongly that the Lord wants this for our household. But I have struggled with ME ME ME. I worry about money, and things, and everything else that I shouldn't. Instead of viewing this blessing for what it is, a blessing, I am making it into something that it shouldn't be. A worry. If the Lord says "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' (Matthew 6:31) then who am I to worry ? Who am I to usurp that authority ?
I wanted to write this because I do feel that as women, sometimes we do have thoughts, or worries, or things that bother us. And we tend to feel that we are the ONLY ones going through it at that time. Really, we are not. But I do want everyone to realize that having the ability and blessing to stay home with our children, and be the mother's that God intended for us to be is a wonderful and amazing blessing. While the days will seem long sometimes, and while we will not always feel appreciated, please realize that the Lord is blessing this time in our lives, as long as we seek to follow Him.
