Who we are an...Jennifer, this post is magnificent. Who we are and what we do is so scrutinized. This is what I see. I see a woman whose devotion to her husband results in an amazing family, and additionally you contribute to the quality of life and dignity of death for the patients he can minister to, because you fuel him. I see your devotion to your kids rooting spiritual sequoia and beautiful deep souls. I see your thirst for God and love of life pulling you to find meaning and healing on a path you are forging, that many women follow and praise God for your exhortations. Early on, as I turned down snapppy professional gigs and travel to be home with my kids, it was because I realized I didn't want to deliver anything of higher grade to audiences than I was giving my children. You are on the right path and you are sharing life and love through God's special Gospel according to Jennifer and I know He is beaming. The only ones who can look down upon you...are the angels! I know the angst to strive to be all things--but to be all to your family---what an honor. This world likes to measure things by gold medals, but you have a heart of gold.And you have a title--Mom--that trumps additional titles/degrees. I have no doubt you can reach the stars professionally, after this divine layover. I believe in YOU!Glenbrookemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04186861593082168596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-64121591239754260472013-07-05T21:34:50.226-04:002013-07-05T21:34:50.226-04:00Jennifer, this post is so who I was thirty years a...Jennifer, this post is so who I was thirty years ago. I had always taken "pride" (isn't that the problem?) in being the smart girl. The overachiever. The one most likely to blaze a trail, etc. Then God led me to the man I would marry, had two children and moved around the globe with my husbands career for thirty years. Back then I felt the need to explain myself to every new person I met. They didn't "know" who I was...who I had been. Then, like you, God spoke to me about not letting the enemy steal my joy. I was listening to what the world said about me, SAHM, wasting my education, etc. and NOT listening to the quiet voice that was speaking to me all along. Here we are today, married 43 years, two wonderful children, three precious grandchildren and I would not trade one day of the time I was blessed to spend with them for any amount of praise from strangers....Thank you for being a voice for your generation of young mothers. Have a wonderful weekend with your sweet family!LeighAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800882925684714246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-90649097571258812582013-07-05T21:10:12.688-04:002013-07-05T21:10:12.688-04:00Powerful stuff!!

I needed this tonight- just sitting here whining and crying to my husband about my life when really I just have the summer blues and my baby turned 2 today. I think this is one of your best posts. Just taking care of a house is a full-time job add kids and a husband- whoa Nelly that is plenty to keep busy while striving to be content.
