I have been a stay at home father for the last year due to the economy. Fortunately my wife did not loose her job like I did. However I had a more important job to fulfill. I have 3 little ones that needed my attention. This was a fantastic year and I was moved toward my children like no other year. I believe in your words and will keep them close to my heart.

Right now I teach at a university, and really feel that I can't let my colleagues down with the extra work that they would have if I left...our family also has too many debts due to school and I need to work to help pay them...but I am trying to be extra thrifty, to save to pay off loans, and to save additional money so that some day in the near future I will be able to stay at home too and be with my children (just have 1 right now). I think many people would say that we could make it work even with all our debt, so I feel guilty...but I will work to make it happen for me.

I actually saw you first on Headcovering Baptists site, and enjoyed your comments there. So when I saw your site here I thought I would stop and say Hello from Colorado. I am a pastors wife, we are "independent and fundamental, and old-fashioned"! I want you to know that I've been praying for you and your family as you work on your mission field. I appreciate those who surrender to the foreign fields, I have a lot of friends who are missionary wives and I know it takes someone special. So thank you.<br />Your friend, JohannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698310951507071463.post-61076513185767070412009-07-11T11:46:06.711-05:002009-07-11T11:46:06.711-05:00I've been out of pocket for what seems like fo...I've been out of pocket for what seems like forever and I'm just getting around to really reading this post.<br /><br />Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!<br /><br />I can count the true keepers at home that are parts of my life on one hand. It can be easy to let the flesh and the devil get you down and discouraged. Thank God for a Bible that teaches us right and wrong. <br /><br />After feeling particularly bombarded by this subject a couple of months ago, I started a personal study. Not that I questioned my role as a keeper at home, just seeking encouragement from the Lord. Well, the Lord put it to me to make it a post on my blog. Not long after I posted it, I read this post you made! What an encouragement.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641563854271368950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698310951507071463.post-80473833474426346572009-07-10T15:29:34.828-05:002009-07-10T15:29:34.828-05:00Wonderful post!

I do not agree with this at all. The wives get so down on themselves and feel like they are not contributing anything to the household which is totally untrue. It is so important to have support from our husbands.

Realizing that I am serving God by serving my family, even on days when I am feeling unappreciated, has been absolutely inspritational for me. I learned this because God has kept me from obtaining a job for a year now (even at McDonald's!) even tho I believe it would help Bob greatly to lift the financial burdens at our house. I just throw up my hands and trust Him, (that's all I can do) but I can do all I can around the house to make it a refuge from the world and to help at church anywhere I can. Being my husband's helper (in anyway I can) IS my purpose! <br />Sonya, I wish your testimony could be read by all and realized by all!

I may be coming from a slightly different background from other readers, so I especially wanted to write in. I have an MBA from a top business school and I worked for three fortune 500 companies before staying at home full time. For those that are wondering which has the greater satisfaction, a feeling of purpose, and has created happiness in our home, staying at home full time wins hands down. For someone who has been there, the grass is definitely not greener - what could be more satisfying than being in Gods will, supporting our husbands and training the next generation? Working long hours in an office in front of a computer to further the usually greedy owners of a corporation doesn't even come close!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055526083356201348noreply@blogger.com
