We had no electricity until 4pm so my time on the computer today did not happen until now but my sink was still full of dishes. Well when I read this part of your post:<BR/>"View your little ones interrupting as your escape from the sin. As if it were God Himself, gently leading you back to work. ... Can the phone calls or computer work be done early in the morning? During naps? After bed time?" I felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit to get to those dishes. Thanks for allowing yourself to be used by God by writing this.<BR/>JennJennifer C.

OUCH! Well, I'm just now reading it but your words most assuredly speak to me as this is something I have been dealing with most recently in my own life. I have it soooo easy right now with two kids in school and one gigantic internet connection that in combination causes me all kinds of lackings in my life. I feel the Lord telling me(even through you!) things I DO NOT want to hear but need to. He has been so faithful in moving us here and providing for us so that I can stay home. I seem to have forgotten my end of the blessing and sometimes fail to tend my responsibilities of Glorifying the Lord. Thanks for striving for excellence in your walk and inspiring others along the way. <BR/><BR/>Ha-This post didn't seem that long when I was reading. But when I scrolled back up to the top it took a comedically long time to get there. ;)Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018721209690768151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20533978.post-84248064302108818472008-05-15T05:38:00.000-07:002008-05-15T05:38:00.000-07:00I only had time to read half of what you wrote, I'...I only had time to read half of what you wrote, I'll come back and read the rest later.<BR/><BR/>I take my hat off to you and believe you have hit some real nails on the head, when it comes to the mothers in the workplace. <BR/><BR/>I do daycare in my home so that I can be a stay at home mama for my children, yet bring in necessary funds to keep our bills paid. Being a stay at home mama is very important to me, but unfortunately our finances are as such that we are reliant on my meager income as well.<BR/><BR/>I have a few family members that spent yrs waiting to have children because the timing was just not right and the bills/jobs were just not ready for a child and now are having difficulties conceiving. Now the same person who waited, and is sorrowing because she isn't pregnant just took a 2nd job so they can have more vacations and monetary things.. It may be an excuse to cover up her sadness and keep her busy so she doesn't have to think about it. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I do believe that we can get immersed in our own selfishness (myself included) rather than doing what is best. It can be a real struggle to have pure motivation!Full of Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731302203793957663noreply@blogger.com
