God's Will vs. Everyone Else's Wants

Lately, doing what’s best for me, according to God’s will vs. doing what’s best for me, according to everyone else’s wants, have been heavy on my heart!!! I have been tussling with my passion and longing for being a Work-At-Home-Mom (often referred to as “WAHM”), with doing what everyone around me thinks I should do. After a lot praying and soul-searching I have decided to blaze and follow my own path and become a "WAHM" (ahhh, I love the sound of that).

So I have taken the first step towards achieving my dreams, I decided to start a business and exert my energies towards raising my children and nurturing my family. I love being an “accessible” mother and wife; and becoming a Work-At-Home mom will afford me that opportunity. It won’t be easy, trust me. I don’t have any savings, a minimal income and big dreams. I’m not going to say that I won’t miss the office gossip, politics or even fighting a crazy commute. But in the grand scheme of things I know that me being accessible to my children, husband and community is what I am placed on earth to do. What steps have God already ordered for you, that you are not climbing? What are you placed on earth to do? What is tugging at your heart and soul? What have you been fighting? What are your desires, wants, needs, longings? I would like to hear from you. Just know that whatever it is, it was placed in you long before your arrival here on earth.

Until next time: blessings on your spiritual journey!
