How do we make the most of the time we have to do God’s work? It’s something I’m often pondering. My big family life is crazy. And it’s not because I’m doing too much. Or going too much. Or taking too much on.
My life in and of itself, no artificial ingredients added, is plain crazy. Even the craziness is part of God’s work for me. But there are other things too. Other important things.
I will never be a woman who will say that the highest calling for a woman is to be a wife and mother who stays home with her kids. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for 16 years, and just recently started working outside the home one day a week, while working some from home too. And I’m thriving in it. But that’s because I’m called to it.
You might not be. She might not be.
Our highest calling is to live in communion with God because of Jesus with His presence dwelling within us and to proclaim the Good News of the gospel. We all have vocations or callings that come second, and God gives women different roles to play to that end. It can look a million different ways.
How about we agree to get out there and thrive in that part we’ve been given to play? That’s what it looks like for you and me to be making the most of our time.
