I've recently had to make a hard decision about whether to go after a better paying job or honor previous commitments that will mean I work 3 jobs in order to pay the bills down. I don't like the thought of working the three jobs (FT and PT) but know that God will provide the strength and all that is needed so that I can honor the commitment that I made.<br /><br />May God bless your decision and the work that you do as a mother and wife and designer!Moirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417830478125448599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-71766644464340391622015-06-21T22:43:00.985+10:002015-06-21T22:43:00.985+10:00Jenny,

As you said, it would not have been a sin to accept this designer job, but it sounds like it wouldn't have been the best thing for you. I'm encouraged when I hear that some Christians are making hard decisions and in some cases sacrificing to do what's best for others, especially their immediate family. Your and my calling is to be wives first and then mothers and everything else comes after that. Even when our children are grown, we will always be mothers (with maybe a little more time). I've got a few more years of homeschooling my last one, but all our children are still at home. Next year will be different with just one to homeschool, and I'm not sure what our day will look like yet. I'm so thankful that you can use the talents God has given you to bless us and make some money right from home.<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868612635336893727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-6533701596001909792015-06-08T17:14:33.409+10:002015-06-08T17:14:33.409+10:00Such a lovely post again Jenny.

A choice between good and evil is easier, but the good, better, best choice is more common and one we give less thought to. I'm happy you thought through what was best for you, your family, and putting the will of God to work in your life.. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-13712919589001692312015-06-07T21:10:22.329+10:002015-06-07T21:10:22.329+10:00Great post my dear.

I've read blogs from fabric designers and it can be quite frantic! I like a saying I heard, "knowledge is knowing tomatoes are fruit - wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad". We need to balance wisdom and knowledge together in making our decisions, and God's word provides that. It's not easy turning down an offer that will bring more business....but in the end, I think you made a wise choice.

God is telling you something. I think God tells us to slow down more then you think but some people don't listen.http://thankfullga447https://www.blogger.com/profile/09752118265182467689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-21168998473750222802015-06-07T07:35:13.338+10:002015-06-07T07:35:13.338+10:00Dear Jenny ,

I feel so lost sometimes. Do many things: take care of the house, the husband, the dogs , help in the family business and remains so little time for other things that I like ! Still I do not know if everything I do is fully in line with His will ! Want to have this ease of communication you have with Him. I love to read the Bible , but most often not sure what to read to find the right answers.<br />kiss<br />Ju<br />Juhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126558585765745082noreply@blogger.com
