Serving X2!<br /><br />I know parenting can make Kingdom work seem more difficult to attain--less opportunity--less energy--bigger time and family commitments. <br /><br />But guess what? You still want it. You still have a driven passion that God has laid on your heart. And that, my friend, will take you far into serving this world and blessing God's people. <br /><br />Praying for your God-given tenacity to continue on!<br /><br />X,<br />JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090118005597719639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809982140499754583.post-21829649560953722762012-02-10T02:02:35.369-05:002012-02-10T02:02:35.369-05:00I read those words and prayed them for both of us ...I read those words and prayed them for both of us (well, for your hubby too - but I didn't say "mom" :)<br /><br />Thanking Him for the calling that He has planted in you - for the blessing He has brought to you, and for the amazingincrediblecan'tevenimagineit future He has for you in serving others.<br /><br />He WILL do it.

I used to bemoan the fact that having kids takes time away from reaching others for Christ until God showed me that I live with two people who need witnessing and discipleship. I know what you mean about growing complacent but your kids are your ministry for a few years. There will be time for other types of ministry later. There is no job more important now than to disciple them to grow to disciple others.
