@shelbymaryann: I’m thankful and blessed to be able to stay home and be a stay at home mom to my four children. It’s so easy to really forget what a BLESSING that is to have a husband who works all day and carries the mental load of all the bills etc. A sin that I had in my life was allowing distractions to remove me from my mission/purpose at home. I allowed the media, news outlets, newest pop culture drama to consume me to a point that when my husband would get off work I wasn’t overstimulated from my children: I was over stimulated from the distractions taking my mind away from them. It really easy to blame your children for your exhaustion/over stimulation but I’m actually convinced when you remove all the distractions that are BEGGING for your attention you will 100% have more peace in your life. My husband would get off work and instead of being able to come home into a peaceful environment he came home to chaos .. because I chose to let the world steal my joy while blaming everything else for it. 3 questions I ask myself before I get on any social media or news apps: 1. “What am I actually here for right now?” (To post, to respond to a message, to look up something specific or just to escape?) 2. “Will this help me love God, my family, or my calling better today?” (Or will it quietly steal attention, peace, or contentment?) 3. “What am I avoiding by picking up my phone?” (Fatigue, a hard task, silence, conviction, boredom?) Have you noticed this in your home?
