My husband and I have been going to a Tuesday night bible study for couples. The last couple of weeks, we have been talking about money, needs vs. wants and being content. Last night, as we talked about being content, I was convicted. Well, God has been working on my heart for the last couple of years and it just finally hit me last night. You see, I have struggled with being at home, teaching my kids and being the housewife that I should be. I do not have a college education and have talked many times to my husband about going to school to get a degree. Why? To help out with the bills, so that we could give our kids so much more.
I always knew I wanted to have kids and be at home with them during their childhood years. Homeschooling came to us years later and now we are in the 9th year of teaching our children. I always thought I was content being at home with them, but a little voice in my head (Satan), has had me question that, question my husband and most of all question God. Had me asking myself about being able to have more, have more money, more material items for the kids, bigger house, newer car.
It has taken time and God has been working on me the last couple of years, but I am now content being at home and teaching my kids. This is what God has planned for our family. It is our responsibility to raise our children and provide them with love and teach them about God. Yes, I am learning to be content, being content with what God has blessed me with.
Yes, I am going to let the peace of Christ rule in my heart and be thankful.
