Adjustments
Adjustments are to be expected in a life where work, home and family mix and the lines are not always clearly drawn. As Christian Work At Home Moms, we are challenged by God not only to expect adjustments, but to welcome them. We know that He will only give us what we can handle and that He provides what we need for each situation. "I can do all things in Him that strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13
I often think that when my daughter comes over and asks for something, or even just seeks my attention that I "shouldn't" turn away from my work. I "need" to get my work done. But, how much easier would it be for me to make an adjustment to my schedule (and my attitude!) and take some time out for her. She is to be my first priority when I am home. Yes, work is very important, and I believe it is my second priority when working from home. But, we must stop and remember that we will leave the legacy not with our customers, referrals, or networking contacts, but with our kids. "Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her..." Proverbs 31:28a.
Let's take the time today to make the necessary adjustments, in fact, to welcome them, and to please God with our actions and attitudes towards them.
