Things have been tight at times, but actually my job at home does so much to save money.... and then there is all of the wonderful stuff like ministering to my husband, training my children, and more.

It is amazing how clearly the Holy Spirit speaks when we are called to follow and demonstrate obedience. I, too, cried plenty and every now and then am so tempted to get back into it all, but I know that I am where I need to be. The Lord offers a wonderful sense of peace when we seek His will for our lives. Blessings to you as you continue to walk in this journey. :)Veronicahttp://www.anupstreamlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908314997698016911.post-17376267947526982942015-01-19T20:20:22.060-05:002015-01-19T20:20:22.060-05:00C.S Lewis said “The homemaker has the ultimate car...C.S Lewis said “The homemaker has the ultimate career.
