I still struggle at times...but it sure is nice to receive payment for what I do. <br /><br />At times, I envy those women who go off to work on a daily basis...I even tried going back to work a few years ago; working in Public Relations/Event Planning. I LOVED IT!!! The recognition...my boss appreciating my expertise, skill and talent...the adult communication...the paycheck!!! But having older children doesn't mean less care, attention or problems....it actually means more. Two of my children had health issues that needed Homebound care, the school was always calling for some reason or another...my family didn't adjust to Mom going back to work very well.<br /><br /> So, I returned home...expanding on "the call" and placing our finances in God's hands...praying all the while that He would guide and bring opportunity to me, while I cared for the blessings that He already bestowed upon me.<br /><br />I do NOT regret one moment of being a SAHM...but on some really rough days...a few words of encouragement from those whom I sacrificed and care for would be greatly appreciated...even then I know that God is proud of me.<br /><br />Blessed...maybe fortunate would be words that I would use...Luxury is absolutely not one of them.shepherdess56https://www.blogger.com/profile/17242965170070616459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886457827911127374.post-57626882979926152842009-06-23T08:11:37.975-04:002009-06-23T08:11:37.975-04:00Well done Amy!
