You know what saddens me to no end? The number of women who are so willing to throw in the towel on being moms. I am talking about when a woman has a child/children, and she decides to take on a full-time job, not because she desperately needs the money, but because she wants to "get away" from all her mommy duties. God made us women to be the nurturers of our children. I hate how this stupid feminist act is producing a bunch of women who take PRIDE in abandoning their motherly, God given duties! Please understand, I am not talking about the women who go out there and work hard for their families so that food can be put on the table, or gas can be put in the tank, but wish so badly that they could be home with their little ones. Single moms, or women who's families are in financial crisis, you women need to know that you ARE nurturing your little ones, by working to make sure that their physical needs are taken care of. Trust that if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, and you are obedient to Him then God has plans to prosper you. Just keep on truckin' and stay true to God and His Word! He will see you through. You may prosper in ways you never thought you would. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD,' plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11). Believe that God has a plan for you, your future, and your children's future!
To my fellow women who are BLESSED enough to be able to stay home with your children and raise them the right way, take courage and do what God made you to do! Why would you throw that blessing away? Why, if you have a choice, would you chose to let someone else raise your child? You are putting your child's future in that person's hands willingly. Why would you not FIGHT for your child's future and even his/her salvation? I know it is scary, and I know it can be so hard at times, but these are not excuses to pawn your child off to a daycare ALL DAY, so you can "empower" yourself as a "strong woman." Many women have no choice and would do anything to switch positions with you. The Bible says "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6). If you are allowing someone else to "train up" your child, then you are taking a risk. Your son or daughter is a child for only a little while. You only have so much time to raise them and influence them in the right direction. Don't throw that away for "empowerment." That is not courage, that is cowardice. Have FAITH that God will give you strength, wisdom, patience, and love when raising your little one. Be empowered as the mommy God made you to be! Be proud of the role God gave you. I am! Just look at this little nugget!
