I pray that you can find joy even in the difficult days. I know that when we put God first and everything falls into place even if Those things are difficult. I pray that he will strengthen you and sanctify you and make you more like Christ every day as you balance this tension.

I am happy to work even when it is a struggle and get frustrated with the idea that many Christan mom's have that mind set that moms should ideally work inside the home only. That may be true for some families but my full time position and future thoughts of sending my children to public school *gasp* do not make me a bad parent or Christian. I do identify with many of the other struggles mentioned, but financially I could be home with my children, I'm not working just to name that possible some day. I know that working on my current position is what God wants for me right now.

I re-read it in the few minutes I had alone before a work meeting this morning. And I loved it. Not everything "fit" for me.... but the loving tone from my Father did. I'm a social worker, and there are days I'm frustrated that I spend all my energy taking care of other people rather than my daughter. And then I remember that this is more than a job, more than a career... it's a calling. I want my daughter to watch me serving others, and looking for ways to help. But that doesn't mean that I don't have days that I feel wrung out and on empty. This was a wonderful post... I'm so glad I got to reread it!Judy Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09200531564185402224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196372996634922411.post-79176590423663882482016-01-28T12:49:29.126-08:002016-01-28T12:49:29.126-08:00Lauren thank you so much for stopping by.

I just prayed for you – that the Lord would allow you to have some special time with your kiddos this week and that you would feel peace and assurance as you work and provide for your family. I pray that you would know that the fathers deep deep love for you is enough and I pray that in those moments where you feel like you are not enough, that you would know that he will step in and provide. It's so tough though – I honestly cannot say that I've ever had a full week where at least one or two of my days I leave with that sinking feeling in my stomach. It's because we love them so much. I pray that the time that you have with them in the evening would be rich and filled with laughter and love and that you would have the energy you need to enjoy that time.

I have always been raised in a Christian belief & have never lost faith in my God, organized religion? Yep! But that's just me. As to this topic, what if I feel my calling from my God is outside of my home? I have such a strong desire to help, but that requires me to continue my education, in addition to working full time! What if I feel what I'm doing is showing my daughter's that they are strong, that they can be self reliant! And also teaching my son to respect a woman he meets, to treat her with the same respect?!? We're not living in the 50's anymore, & I truly love my profession, as well as my children! I just never see or hear the middle ground! It's always from those who stay at home or have to work! I work because I choose to, I want my kids to know it's ok to have a passion for something they love doing! The trick is to find a partner to support their goals, & not let either side make them "feel guilty" for whatever they choose!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196372996634922411.post-6748570676708301912015-04-22T07:58:10.238-07:002015-04-22T07:58:10.238-07:00Anonymous- I hope you were able to read my respons...Anonymous- I hope you were able to read my response to your comment.

Some one take up the cause and write something as beautiful and poignant for the overwhelmed mom, the mom with depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder... the moms battling chemical dependence or in struggles just to get by. I love this and it is wonderful. I know there are those moms that this would just make them feel even worse about themselves because they just aren't doing all these things. Heck I don't make my childs lunch every morning. My laundry isn't done all the time. I am not saying anything bad a bout this article, in fact I really like it. I understand Ashley's side as well. I have been a stay at home mom and then had to go to work when my husband lost his job. I don't in any way feel guilty about it.<br />I am an not blessed with the ability to pen something this beautiful. Can you make one for the mom struggling to keep her head above water through divorce, mental illness, unemployment, struggling with doubt, self worth.... in the depths of darkness we need light. We need hope.

God loves us equally the same! He has a plan for each and every one of us, and as parents we are special ! God has entrusted us with an special assignment, the responsibility of bringing our children up in the fear of the Lord, so that when they are mature they will come to realize the importance of serving God! And realize the consequences of not doing so! The very important mission of being soul winners! Go you into all the world and preach the Gospel to everyone! One soul is worth more than the whole world! God bless you all and especially the parents that have the responsibility of teaching, taking care of, and loving them as God loves us! Unconditionally !

The audience in this blog space are working Moms who are dedicated to serving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and raising Godly children. They are women who seek the Lord in all they do and will let Him lead them in all areas of child-rearing. Women in this audience are not chasing fame, fortune or status in their career- but are working to provide and working to use their gifts as unto the Lord.

I am not into all the "blogging" stuff usually and this is my very FIRST at ever responding to one.. And I just felt led to say thank you :) I enjoyed reading it and have some of those same feelings at times as well. I would love to stay at home with my babies next year but God has led me in another direction so I will be obedient and do what I need to do.. His plan not mine but I am going to do my best to have the best attitude I can and see it for it's possibilities.. It's a struggle though sometimes.. I am envious (I try no to be ;) of the "stay at home" mom.. Much of the women in my family have been and are stay at home mommies and sometimes I wish I could partake in those things that a working mom does not have the leisure to do.. But.. then again.. No one knows me like the Lord.. I might not be good at it! Haha! So I just have to trust that this is what is best of course! Anyhow.. I truly loved some of your thoughts..
