Mommy on a Mission

I'm a stay at home mommy and Full time student but lately I've been feeling in limbo and a nagging about my career choice even though it will financially be great. I'm enjoying every minute of motherhood and really would love to continue being a stay at home mom! I'm not being lazy..sitting on the sofa eating bon-bons lol what are bon-bons anyway? Truth be told a mother never stops working! She trains her children, talks with her children so there is a bond that will never fall away. She makes a home, a home keeping it clean..full of love and cooked meals on the table! It's important and I'm tired of feeling like I have to justify myself to me and others when I feel God has called me to be a mom ;)

Proverbs 22:6 ,”Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.

”Okay, you may say “you teach your child before and after day care. And on the weekends.” But for me, that isn’t enough,

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.  And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” Deuteronomy 6:5-6 (emphasis mine).

As I'm writing this post I looked into the word “diligently.” Yes, I know what the word means lol, but I always find more insight when I look in the dictionary. According to the dictionary, diligent is an adjective that means,

"constant in effort to accomplish something; attentive and persistent in doing anything; done or pursued with persevering attention; painstaking:”

If I put that into motherhood terminology, I need to teach them constantly so that I can accomplish what the Lord is commanding me. I need to be attentive and persistent, going to any lengths necessary to teach them about Jesus Christ, their Maker! It will be hard and painstaking but I must persevere!

Just something on my heart and would love to hear what others have to say about being a stay at home mom!
