I am a 24 ...Rachel, I am so glad I found this blog. I am a 24 year old mother of two. Lately I have been really struggling with my identity as a person and a mother. A great deal of my family works outside the home and I receive comments left and right about how "I am lazy and selfish and not contributing to my family enough Because I am "just a mom" and I stay at home. <br /><br />Sadly even my own mother has told me that she is not proud of me for not getting a career before I had children. I cry to myself a lot because I feel less than others. I constantly struggle to love myself and see my value. I remind myself daily that the work I am doing is the Lord's work and that I am of worth. <br /><br />Thank you Thank you Thank you for being a voice of hope for all the Homemakers out there. There is nothing I want more right now than to shut out the world and all the negative stigma that comes with moms who chose to stay home. I want to be strong like you. I have confidence that with time and patience one day I will feel that way.<br /><br />Anyway I just wanted to thank you for your blog. I love it!<br /><br />~Jordyn~Jordynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567646407023029854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144795012504114230.post-25504871155278169212011-03-18T22:48:26.506-07:002011-03-18T22:48:26.506-07:00I love Sis.
