I am living the truth you've talked about. My husband and I thought it would be helpful to have me work two days a week outside the home. I have specialized training so I am blessed to make very good money. However, we also home school our children, though they are at co-op the days I work. Those two things combined with managing the house, and trying to be attentive to my husband and children has proved nearly impossible. I have been emotional at times over feeling pulled in so many directions and this is not good for my family. It has been helpful for me to pray for contentment and also trust that the Lord will meet our needs, financial and other. Lois, thanks for posting this. I am living the truth you’ve talked about.
