Sometimes people ask, "now, what is it you do?" and of course I answer, "I stay home with my boys." Being a stay-at-home mom.... Why don't I feel like I'm doing enough?

With those priorities, in that order, you can't go wrong!
Hey, Joy! I know that I have already emailed you my thoughts, but since I figured out how to do this, I wanted to say again that you are totally on the right track! You are doing exactly what God wants you to do at this moment! What everyone else thinks doesn't matter as long as you feel you are in His will! Be encouraged and let God help you decide what "work" is in your life! Love Ya! Christie
