I have been thinking about this topic on a daily, hourly, or more level. We recently moved into a bigger but smellier, not as nice neighborhood, older, and much less expensive, apartment all because we are having a baby in just a few (4!) months. Once we hit the 8th month of pregnancy my working days are over and all the money responsiblity will fall to my husband (for the first time ever). I have been praying daily, alone, and with him that we won't fall into the 'who is working harder' bit and that we will continue to embrace the joy of all the things we have that don't involve shopping, buying, assembeling and then regreting. Thank you for this post. You really are so eloquent and you are obviously letting Christ lead you; your posts carry so much weight for everyone who reads them.

These profound direction, energy, and life changing posts are powerful. You find your way to these basic fundamental ways of seeing and beeing in the world and capture them so wonderfully with your words. Reading your blog is good for my life, my soul.

This one hit me like a TON of bricks. I can't tell you how good it is to read this. It was like you were ready my mind. I have an 8 and 1/2 month old son and I quit my job to stay home with him. I do odd graphic design job to help with the bills but everything is on my husband. He is a freelance web designer and an AMAZING, GODLY man. We have chosen to go a different route with our lives. Instead of him taking a high paying job we chose the one that would allow him to live life with me and Elijah. Everyday God blesses us and I have to not get consumed with what our culture wants for us. I have to remember what God wans for us. I'm passionate about my life and the fact that we are both a huge part of my sons life.<br /><br />-Kacikacihttp://www.lilarizamonster.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25427225.post-24965221031835599832009-07-12T10:27:34.054-05:002009-07-12T10:27:34.054-05:00Emery!
