I really gave it a good long try -- nearly five years. I had a good support community in a Christian mothers' group, and yet, I decided I needed to do what was right for my particular family. One size does not always fit all. Well, I am one of those mothers who went crazy at home, and went back to work. I really gave it a good long try — nearly five years.

I've prayed and asked the Lord to give me a vision of what my life should be like, not anyone else's vision, His own for me and slowly(real slowly :) but surely I'm getting there. And then when I think I'm getting there some other thing that I am not doing right shows up on the radar. Then I remind myself that this is what it is all about, the growing, the changing, the becoming. There are times when I’ve felt that this is harder than I imagined it to be.

I'm not really thinking about going back to work (though I can't say that the thought hasn't tempted me 1,000 times) and I'm blessed to have a husband who supports me going out and doing whatever I need to do. I know that what I'm doing is the best thing for my family and most days I am really thankful for the ability to stay at home with my children. Sometimes, though, I can't help but think that my college education was a waste, or at least that I could have gone to a less expensive university and gotten a similar education for a lot less cost. I want my daughter (and son) to get the best education they can, I want them to have the full college experience, but do I want her to then become a stay-at-home wife/mother? And if so, will I be the one paying for her education? Should she take out loans and let her husband foot the bill after they get married? I am confused about this.
