Ain't nobody got time for that!

In a lot of ways I feel extremely inadequate. I know I'm not very educated and I have no career goals. So you don't have to be so judgey at me for that. I feel no desire to move up in the business world, I have no urge to complete a fancy degree, I have absolute ZERO interest in working the rest of my life. I want to be a mother.

And goodness I hate the looks I get when people hear that. Yes people! It's the truth. I'm not going to work. I'm going to sit at home with my children while my husband works hard every day. Career? Do you know how busy I'm going to be??? The type of mother I want to be has no time for such nonsense. Education? I know my children will always be embarrassed about how un-educated I am, but I know no one will ever doubt my knowledge about the gospel. What more do I need than that?

I know why I'm here on this earth. The only thing anyone ever says I'm good at is that I'm great with kids. Seriously. And I'm ok with that. I'm here to raise, and nurture, and teach, and love. Education and careers??? Ain't nobody got time for that. 

I've got children to hold, giggles to get out of those tiny bodies, there's knowledge and love for the gospel that needs to be taught to their little hearts, they need protecting, and that's all I want to do. What if my husband dies or I somehow have to provide???

I don't know......and that's ok! There's always at home daycare or I can teach pre-school. I trust that I'll be doing what my Heavenly Father wants me to. I trust that because of that and my righteous endeavors I will be blessed and protected. And I trust that if it's something I need to worry about he'll let me know. Because his world really does revolve around me. He's always making sure I'm taken care of.
