Erin, you are a wonder, you always come when I need you most. You make me think and you make me listen. Sending you prayers.

I too have been every type of mother! Full time work, full time stay at home, part time work from home, and now back to full time working outside the home. Each has been sanctifying in its own way! I’m comforted by your posts. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️

Gosh I love this. Exercising again?! Spending quality time with your 3 year old - such a precious and tender age. My heart rejoices for you. I’m praying to God to place me where I’m needed. Still driving to LA once a week, helping my husband build a business in the evenings…I am tired and I miss focusing on my children. I know He has a plan. 🙏❤️

I love your insights, Erin. Even with having stayed at home mostly full time for the past 13 years, there have been so many ups and downs and seasons even just there. It especially resonates when you said: “a woman’s place is where God asks her to be.” Yes! That is so true. Even when it means giving up good things to be open to the new thing He’s calling you to. I hope this next season allows for more time for your writing! It’s always such a blessing to me, and I love to share it with my Catholic Moms Group!

What a truth there—when you said that sometimes we have to give up good things to be where He is calling us to be!
