I can't begin to say how happy and blessed I feel to have found this site. Like most of you I am a stay at home mom. I have 7 wonderful children and a loving husband. I just don't seem to fit the mold of my neighbors and most of my family. I choose to live a simple uncluttered life.
I try daily to hear the voice of the Lord in all I say and do. It is so difficult to hear sometimes when you have so many others yelling and pulling you in the other direction. I just continue to pray and understand that Christ loves them as much as he loves me. I have just found his mercy.
The reason why I said I was blessed to find this site is that I spend many days alone with the children. My husband is a military man and is currently preparing for a deployment. He spends alot of time away from home. I enjoy reading about other women who share my feelings about the Lord, and taking care of their families much in the same way that I care for mine.
I enjoy my time with my children more and more as I get older. They truly are a gift. I feel such a sense of worthiness that God has entrusted them to me. I know I can never live up to this gift that he has given me in my children, but I am trying.
I feel guilty sometimes when I want time with adults because of this. I tell my Mom that I just need to talk to someone old enough to vote. That is what leads me to enjoy reading all of the stories of all of you ladies that are like me.
Spending your time trying to make a difference in the lives of your family. I try to remain humble and blessed knowing that it is all God! I have nothing to do with it. I am just a person. He is my heart and I can do nothing without his grace.
God Bless You All
