What more could there possibly be?

I have finally become able to stay at home, with my family. Nothing in this world could make me happier or more content. SO, my days have been spent caring for kids and keeping house. I have the opportunity to directly oversee Moriah's schoolwork. We have agreed that she has definitely done more this week than throughout the last month. Things are going well. I feel the most satisfaction I ever have before, for so many reasons. Knowing Madison's whole demeanor has changed this week, she is not crying for me throughout the day...she knows I am here. What more could a mother want. Working outside the home never brought an ounce of satisfaction for me. I dreaded every morning, the moment I would leave my family and leave my home. I cried each morning on my way to work, knowing what I was leaving behind. I knew they needed me, and I deeply needed them. I would come home on my lunch breaks and cry again on my way back to work. I dreaded the exhaustion that followed me through the door when I came home in the evening. I think of some of the professional women I know, who have children. I wonder what could possibly be more rewarding than raising the little babies we created. I feel sorry for them in a way. I understand, different people have different needs and thus priorities. But in another way, I cannot understand..cannot comprehend. Just my thoughts, based on my own experiences. I cannot walk in their shoes, but I sincerely wouldn't want to. I love my family. All I want in the world is to be able to take care of them, myself. I look forward to every moment with them. Even the inevitable challenges we will surely face. We will face them together. We will be, together.

Let Him dwell within me, ALL of my days. He is my and the only source of real JOY! The world is a liar. Only YOU can decide who you want to be, your identity is either in the world or in Jesus. If it's in Jesus then you are perfect because He is perfect. He atoned for all of our real imperfections. If sin leads to death, why do we chase it? Why do we chase the grave instead of His grace? Me too, it's a daily surrender of my desire for the world. Daily, hourly, minutely. The pull is intense and the struggle is real. Literally. No matter what happens to me, you know your mother's heart chases after Jesus Christ Himself. It is not the path of least resistance. On the contrary. I live my life for Him and through Him because I have already experienced the contrary. It was a state of darkness and death. Absence of light and of love. Of course I want to spare you the suffering of that course but sometimes we must walk through that mire to appreciate Him as he washes it off of us s...
