"I have struggled a
great deal off and on with finding my place. Even before Henry was
born, I worked part-time at a “meh” job, and I wasn’t sure what

ReplyDeleteKatie, I enjoyed reading your article. I've both worked outside the home (both full and part-time) and stayed at home since my oldest was born. Both come with their own set of challenges. I wouldn't trade being home with my littles for anything in the world...but my goodness does it feel isolated at times. I've been the helicopter parent and now take a more free-range parenting mentality. It's all a learning experience and will never, ever be done perfectly. That's when we have to trust and hope that God will bless our efforts with our littles. I've seen you in action with Henry and you are doing a great job! You are doing the most important job you can do in this season of life, even if it means sacrificing yourself. Hang in there on the tough days. Time flies. And if you ever need a mama who can say "Been there, done that," reach out! I promise, we other moms can relate. ❤
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I am just now seeing this, but thank you so much! Thank you for your sweet words. It is challenging, but so rewarding. I think you summed it up perfectly with "we have to trust and hope that God will bless our efforts with our littles." Thank you for reading and encouraging.
