ramblings
Recently a recruiter from a higher pay/ ability to move up the ladder job contacted my sister-in-law. After talking with her it made me start thinking about my current job. Being a wife, stay-at-home mommy of three that's trying to homeschool, and also working on being a homemaker is not a very well paying job (at least not in the monetary sense). It made me start thinking how much better off we would be if I took an outside job. We wouldn't have to struggle monthly with wondering if all of the bills were going to be paid, we could start some savings for the future, start a college fund for the children, have some of the "little" things (that keep gettting bigger) around the house fixed, if one of the vehicles needed work done maybe it wouldn't be so hard to shell out several hundred dollars just to help it pass inspection, have some extra cash so we could take a family vacation instead of just going to visit relatives, oh the list does go on and on.
But then I had to ask myself what is more important to me, having more money so we could do more and buy more or being able to spend time with my husband and my children. I choose my family over any amount of money in the world, because I know that the Lord will provide the rest. He's never let us down in the past and I know He won't in the future. As for the family vacations, we made the choice to move closer to grandparents, uncles, and aunts so that the children could get to know them and have a relationship with them. It's a choice we haven't regretted for a moment. The vacations will just have to wait.
Well, my daily quiet time is over so back to the grindstone.
