Thank you so much, Lynn. It’s always so wonderful to hear that encouragement from someone who’s been there and done that and seen the rewards.

Love, love, love this post. You put it so well, the sacrifices of being an at-home mom, yet the rewards. My boys are young men now, and I can tell you, I am sooo happy I chose to be there with them through all those hard, demanding growing-up years. You will never regret your decision to be home with them. And before you know it, you will have young adults who you feel oh-so-privileged to have a great relationship with God bless you in your mothering efforts. You’re doing the most important job in the world. Great post!

Choosing happiness means putting a LOT of trust in the future. Faith, and lots of it, is vital. I am in yet another aaaaaaaaaaa! week (…weeks;)) and it’s really putting my faith to the test that this is what will lead to the most lasting happiness. I know it will. I KNOW it will. But dang it, I’m so tempted to grab at those treats today and deal with the sour stomach tomorrow. I won’t. But that’s part of my choosing happiness. And it definitely isn’t the easiest choice in the world. I never thought that would be possible until I became a mom.

We are very much on the same wave length here! I just posted a blog along the same lines. I now have a 10 year old and a 6 year old, and reflected back on my bumpy ‘stay at home’ start. Looking forward to reading more and getting to know you! Blessings!
