It always makes my day when I know that the Lord has used something I've written to encourage a fellow sister.<br /> How exciting about this new season of life and all of the things you are learning during it.<br /> I understand completely about trying to get things organized and on a schedule, and be consistent with that schedule. Once I was in my own home and (like you said) had God for my boss, it took more of an effort to be disciplined and stay on top of things.<br /> So happy for you!<br />RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446092330928911654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666167978564001598.post-58374954064885238442012-07-27T04:17:19.204-05:002012-07-27T04:17:19.204-05:00"There are times when it gets pretty close an..."There are times when it gets pretty close and scary and we wonder if we are going to come out alright—but He ALWAYS comes through and NEVER FAILS. He rewards and responds to our faith and obedience—every time." --> Thank you for these words. It's the same for us and it's good to be pointed at the promises of the Lord. <br /><br />We have experienced the same thing, you can feel people thinking that's irresponsible for me to stay at home as much as I do ( I did work for 1 morning though) without having a child and while saving for an adoption. Couldn't I better work a lot now, so we can save a lot of money and help my husband out this way? I've never wanted to stay at home but I noticed that I hated to work outside the home a lot and discovered my feminine place in marriage. I didn't hate my work any more after I became a teacher, but I could never work for lots of hours any more now, I've found my place at home, caring for my husband and house. But I am struggling with it, to get organised & to get things done. There's no boss here (however I tell my self my boss is God), nobody is watching how hard I work, so my motivation and discipline have to be leading in my live. I've never been brought up to joyfully serve in my home, so it's all new, exiting and sometimes -yes- hard. So I thank you for your encouraging article.

God is very good, and never fails to provide for those who do His will. It is a hard road, but definitely one I plan to walk if He blesses me with marriage. :-) Still praying about the house possibilitiy and I hope you're having a good day.Petra https://www.blogger.com/profile/11727497253035553864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666167978564001598.post-84827443628207678202012-07-24T12:04:35.572-05:002012-07-24T12:04:35.572-05:00Thank you so much for sharing your story with me! ...Thank you so much for sharing your story with me! Yes, we are so blessed, and I am thankful for the reminders the Lord sends my way periodically to help me realize--again--how truly blessed I am to stay at home.<br />Thanks for reading and commenting!

I had a job when my husband and I first got married. I was SO depressed. I hated going to work everyday, and even cried in the parking lot a few times. We were in some debt and my husbands job wasn't great so I thought I didn't have a choice. Just two months after getting married, I got fired. Most people would see that as bad, but it was such a blessing to me! That was nearly three years ago and I've been a stay at home wife since and could not be happier. Thanks for sharing this, because it reminds me that I truly am blessed to be a housewife and have a husband able to provide for us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527019242021735386noreply@blogger.com
