I know we haven't talked in forever, bu...Meryl,<br />I know we haven't talked in forever, but I wanted to let you know how proud I am of you. The truths you have discovered in this struggle to better understand your purpose as a woman, wife, future mom, are precious truths from His Word. <br />Learn these things and hold onto them dearly, because this is where Satan attacks us women most severly. He tries to tell us we are inadequate because we don't look like the moms and wives of this world (even other Christian wives and moms). But know His Word, and trust His leading and you will not be tempted to see your worth through the eyes of our culture but through the eyes of Our Creator. <br />I used to work outside the home but have been at home since about a month before our first child was born. I don't regret a moment of it. And now that he is in the throws of toddlerhood and we are expecting baby number 2 any day now, I can see how being here for my husband and my children not only makes life better for them, but for me as well. I also have found that I am more content in honoring God with the little, mundane, unappealing tasks in my life (dishes, diapers, scrubbing the bathtub, living frugally, etc.. now that I am home full-time ( I like the wording you used homeward focused). WHen I used to work outside of the home I did these this with a much worse attitude and harbored some resentment at having doing them. <br /><br />Also, I wanted to say that I agree that Shepharding a Childs Heart is a great book, and My husband and I have found it super helpful in learning how to parent our son.<br /><br />Sorry this was so long. <br />Enjoy your reading this summer. Hope all goes well. <br />Peace of Christ,<br />ShondaShondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324624515978369566noreply@blogger.com
