What wrong with me?

There are times I wonder just what’s wrong with me. I watch other moms who are going off to work, moving up a corporate ladder while I stay home. I watch videos that tell me about some business and look at the people who look very happy in their careers and catch myself thinking “I would like to have a job, a job where I can make a difference”

I’m content, overjoyed with being a stay at home wife and mother and that goes against the norm. I don’t need to go out and climb a ladder. I have a job that is making a difference; I (along with my husband) am the main influence on my children. Their values come from my (our) belief and moral standing and they did not have to face conflicting views from 20 different direction.

Is our life perfect? NO. Do we have all the greatest and latest? NO. Do we care? Not really. Sure there are things we want to do, like finish our basement or remodel our kitchen but in the grand scheme of things that doesn’t matter as much as the fact I have been able to be at all of my kids games or music recitals. I have been able to home school them and choose their curriculum (not the government). I have been able to love my family the way God has guided me to do so.

So, when I think what’s wrong with me? I just say nothing and go on with what I do best, being a stay at home wife and mother.
