Hi Moms and Mom-Types! I can't believe it's been more than a month since I have last graced you with a blog entry. I guess that is the life of a working mother. (Working Mother=outside of the home working mother.) Which is what I have been thinking about lately.
Some of you may know, I am a working mother (MinistryMom I'd like to call myself) and on top of that, Working Single Mother. There are times when I feel like I am being judged because I choose to follow the voice of God and my calling while the mother of a KinderBoy. Anyone who knows me, my heart is to be a stay-at-home working mother but life has not played me that hand. So then I am left with the question: "Am I out of order because I am pursuing the call of God to be own and build my own company?" I have those in my life who would say "Yes" and I have those who would say "No". What is God saying?
As I struggle with this internal pressure to please God inside and outside of my home, I know that being a mother is my first priority. But what exactly does that look like? Does it mean stop building my company? Does it mean take a decrease in pay so I can only work when his school is in session? Does it mean live in low-income house so I can afford to stay home with him?
I don't know about other MinistryMoms, EntrepreneurMoms, WorkingMoms but I ask myself these questions and really do wonder about God's call for women to do the work of God outside of the home. Is it only work to be done by women who don't have children or have children in the home? And if I was to step back and lay aside the work set before me until my son is out of the home will I feel like I am not seizing the moment for such as the time as this?
