Yesterday was my last day of working outside the home. My husband is graduated from college, the student loan is paid off, and, while we don’t exactly have a little nest egg as we’d hoped (we had a couple of huge emergency expenses this year), we are financially as ready as we’ll ever be for this next stage in our life. Plus, we are excactly one month away from our first little one’s estimated arrival date. It is a VERY exciting time.

Last night as I was folding a monster pile of laundry that just had to wait for me to have time to tackle it, I wondered briefly if my husband would even notice or if he would’ve helped had he been with me. Then it hit me–THIS IS MY JOB NOW. All the time I’ve been married thus far, I’ve been responsible for keeping our home running–cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, keeping organized, shopping, etc.–but there was always a little feeling that it was my “second job.” It has been especially hard during pregnancy to have the energy to put into seven hours at my paid job and then come home to however many hours needed to keep our home running. Now however, sorting socks IS my main job description! What a strange, exciting, and new thought. How thankful and blessed I am to have been brought to this place that I’ve dreamed of since girlhood, to have a husband who chose his career path to have a profession that would support us, to have a baby coming, to have a desire to make a beautiful and heavenly home. I really will need to let go of ANY thoughts of resentment or self pity for hundreds, thousands– no MILLIONS of jobs that will go unnoticed, unthanked, unrewarded over my lifetime in my new “career.” Instead, I will need to focus my mind and heart on sentements like you expressed above. Thank you for sharing them.

I come to your blog daily for inspiration. I am excited about this new step in my life and how much more able I will be to try new recipes and ideas that you have for creating a healthy home. Thank you!

I’ve been getting the daily email “messages” from this series, and isn’t it wonderful to get all this inspiring, challenging, and Biblical exhortation – for free?! What a blessing! It’s such a wealth of information that I am thinking about printing out all the messages and binding them together in my home-binder that I use on a daily basis (for home organization, scheduling, etc.) It’s just so much to process at once – I need to go back to it over and over again and take little bites of the word to munch on throughout the day.

Thanks for sharing it, Lindsay. Have a blessed weekend.
