Counting my Blessings

• Oct. 29, 2009 -

I know it is merely a cycle, one that I go through a few times a year, but I am again lonely and bored at home.  While I enjoy my kids, they are not my friends.  I rarely talk to adults anymore.  My husband is my best friend, but with the stress of work, he is not always available to be my company.  Times like these I think about going back to work.  Times like these I don't feel valued, needed  or even noticed at home.   Homeschooling is a wonderful blessing, but often a lonely road.  Do you find yourself lonely at times?  What do you do about it?  How do you make sure you are getting adult fellowship regularly?  These are things I need to work on.  I know deep down that God is sufficient;  May this truth sink in and be real to me.

Again, I know how you feel. I don't do anything with adults either. My parents and brother live next door, so those are the only adults, besides my dh that I see and talk to regularly. I did start going to an adult's Sunday School class where I get to talk to adults for an hour. LOL!!! My main outlet is through my blog. My dh doesn't understand this, since he works with the public and sees and talks to numerous of people on a daily basis. Yes, I do get lonely sometimes, but I try to keep myself busy with my crafts, schooling and my blog. Sometimes, I think about working outside the home and then stop and think about all the things that I wouldn't get done at home. I listen to the women in my Sunday School class and they aren't always happy when they have to work and then come home to cook, clean, laundry, etc. I'm fortunate that I don't have to work, even if my children were in school. I'm very thankful that I can be a stay-at-home mom and homeschool.

A lot of times, I think that it's satan that puts those thoughts in our heads. He wants us to be unhappy with our lives. He doesn't want us to be stay-at-home moms. There are so many temptations outside the home and that's where he wants us. I try to remember that, when I start feeling down.

Blessings,

About Me

Peek into my crazy life. I married crazy and fun Jeff. I am homeschooling four very energetic kids. I definitely don't have all the answers, but I will keep trying. As long as I grow closer to Jesus and show my kids the way there too, it will all be worth it!
