I'm thankful I get to be a stay-at-home mom
It has been my dream ever since I was a little girl to have children and stay at home with them. I am so extremely thankful to God for placing that desire in my heart and allowing it to come true in my life. I also am extremely thankful to my husband who works so hard to provide for our family because he 100% supports me and his desire is for me to be at home as well.
This job is not always a "dream" job for me though. There are days when I feel totally overwhelmed and underqualified. There are times I wish I could just have a conversation about something other than bathroom humor with someone other than a toddler! But the pros definitely outweigh the cons, even on the worst of days. I get to do this!!! I get to teach and watch my children learn new things. I get to be there for their first steps, first words, first day of school, etc. I get to know them so personally and spend so much quality time with them. I am the one who dries their tears and gives them a hug when they fall down. I get to do this!!
Being a one-income family is not without its challenges. We have had to make sacrifices and do without many times. But, even in the lean times, God has blessed us so incredibly. I could tell you so many stories when God has come through in a big way for us. I believe that God is blessing our obedience to Him, our trust in Him to provide for us as we step out in faith and do something that, by the world's standards, is crazy.
