Homemakers heart....

I am a homemaker at heart. It is at the core of who I am. I have no desire to do anything outside of that. I did have a time once in my life when I was single that I had a desire to be out in the workforce but that was pretty short lived. Being a wife and mom is the highest calling for me. Sometimes I joyfully embrace it and other days I think WOW they don't pay me enough! Just kidding! It can be draining, full of joy, rewarding, thankless job, eventful, routine, extraordinary, daily and all of that can happen on the same day! I am so grateful that the Lord has always provided a way for me to walk in who He created me to be. When I hear women say they are bored or wish they could do more....it truly boggles my mind. There is nothing boring about creating an atmosphere of love, shaping hearts and nurturing the souls the Lord has blessed you with. My mom did an amazing job. She wasn't perfect as I am full of faults too however we knew he heart was for us and that mattered to her on a daily basis.

I couldn't have said it any better. My calling is the same ... there has never been a desire on my heart greater than wife, mom and homemaker ... and school teacher. Praise God!

You are a great example of being a homemaker. As a child I dreamed of being a sahm and it is a quite a gift to do what we are blessed to do. There are seasons of my life where I embrace it more then others. Thank you for bringing this topic to the forefront of my heart. Best wishes on the new school year.
