The girls have been back in school for a couple of weeks now and the routine is already being re-established. My baby started Kindergarten and is beginning to adjust to her little world being rocked. As I was praying for my girls this morning, it hit me that for the first time in 10 years, I am not raising a pre-schooler. I am now a free woman from 7:45 - 2:45 everyday. This has not been the case in over a decade. As I pondered what I would do with all this “extra” time, the dryer buzzed, the dishwasher ended, and the washing machine finished it’s cycle. I realized that life is still the same - a little quieter - but who I am and what I do everyday does not change. I am grateful to be God’s child, knowing my life is in His hands and He is in control of my time. God also reminded me of the scripture that says “whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Cor. 10:31 I am serving Him as I wash dishes and do the laundry because I am serving my family! What an awesome opportunity and blessing to know that I am where He wants me doing what He has called me to do.

I just wanted to encourage some moms who may think that your work at home is meaningless. God says that He knows those who trust in Him and is close to all who call on Him. I pray that today you will call on Him and know that whatever you are doing, do it for the glory of God!
