Direction

Posted in Single Moms as Keepers at Home

It's time for me to revisit Return of the Daughters and Defending the Fatherless. I had a conversation last night, in which a younger mom was encouraging me with work opportunities in my new area, and I was almost ready to go out tomorrow and get an application.

It is so hard to take a stand when folks don't understand what you're trying to accomplish or why. It's hard to make the see the importance of what you're trying to do when it doesn't make sense or seem practical. It's hard when their views are so very different from yours.

I've been praying for direction recently and strength to stand for what I've encouraged all of you to do, to remain at home, in spite of everything everyone may say.

Right now, in addition to praying for direction, I'm also praying for a miracle, because it feels like that is what I'm going to need to hang in there.

Hoping it's a little easier for each of you,

Blessings, MaggieRaye

Hi Maggie, I've only recently stumbled on your blog and haven't had time yet to go back and familiarize myself yet. But I'm with you...don't let the rest of the world convince you that you 'can't' stay home anymore. Just because most others don't, doesn't mean that WE can't or shouldn't. The stakes are way to high in regards to our children to give in to this! So be encouraged! As you've encouraged others, we will encourage you and pray along with you for your miracle.
