Today it may be cold
outside but my heart is warm. Last night I had a dream that I got a
job. It was a decent job with decent pay, good benefits and nice
hours. Yet something inside bothered me. Something wasn't right
because getting a job isn't what I've been called to do. I've been
called to be a stay-at-home mom and wife who homeschools her
children. No amount of money or position title or benefits can ever
take the place of that.
My kids are priceless to
me and my husband is irreplaceable. The time I have to spend with
them I cherish. Even if I feel like my attention is being split
multiple times at the same time. Even though it feels chaotic
sometimes. I still cherish it.
I love being able to have
dinner on the table when my husband gets home. I love that the Lord
has answered my prayers and taught me how to cook. Last night I made
homemade mashed potatoes for the first time. They turned out great.
I was tickled pink at my accomplishment. I couldn't wait for my
husband to come home and see what I made. I felt like my kids when
they wait anxiously for daddy to come home so they can show him
something new they did or made that day.
I love that the Lord is my
boss and my job is to shine the light of Jesus into my kids and to
shine what a family who loves the Lord looks like into others.
On this chilly March
morning, I may not have a regular paycheck or a benefits package but
I get to throw my heart and soul into my husband and kids.
My almost 4yr old daughter
said to me yesterday, “You're a very good mommy.” That's worth
more to me then any prestigious job title or any certificate hanging
on my wall.
Thank you Lord for my job
as wife, stay-at-home and homeschool mom.
