Laughs

I keep laughing tonight at some shenanigans my neighbor and I dressed up as tonight for Halloween.  

I feel like life is to short, people are to serious and Im guilty!

    Have fun, do silly things, laugh with friends because that is what life is about!!! Nothing else counts in the big scheme!!

To be right where we are supposed to be

Was just moseying on Facebook and came across a post.  The question was " What do you struggle with as a mom/woman" and someone posted this:

Remembering that God has called me to be a stay-at-home-mom right now, and recognizing the value in my position as their mommy.

This stuck out to me because its my biggest struggle right now.  Society has pushed women back into the workforce, money is stretched these days and it takes two incomes to survive.  If your on one, you struggle.  You rack up debt, you forgo cruise vacations that Facebook friends are smiling away in, you feel guilty for dinners out.

    Yet there is a treasure I am experiencing.  Picking up my son from school and allowing him to have friends over, volunteering in his classroom, being able to stay home and nurture him when he is sick( without feeling guilty that I have to call off work).

     The biggest feat I always seem to work against is trusting in Gods plan.  I guess in my little head I think, well if God really wanted me to be a stay at home mom then we wouldn't have debt, we would have financial abundance.

     Who am am I to try to figure it out?  I should just trust in his plan, rely on where he leads me and not worry about the future.  I should relish in the sweet joy of being home with my little guy because time is fleeting and it will pass quickly.  Money comes and goes and doesn't follow up to heaven.  I promise do trust in the journey god has me on, even if its a struggle at times- because the love of family is far richer then any amount of dollars.
