I worked part-time while my oldest was a baby, but full-time when my 8 year old was born. Now that they have both been in school-I only work during school hours. I have been struggling with REALLY wanting to be a SAHM full-time, but terrified of how hard that will be for us financially. Your blog really hit home on this subject & reminds me that there are "wants" that we can do without...but our "needs" will always be provided to us. Thanks for that.<BR/><BR/>Also, I really like your blog, so I added it to my blogroll. That way I can check it often!! I hope thats okay!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296492286955414824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-33851516766473746372008-09-19T13:35:00.000-04:002008-09-19T13:35:00.000-04:00Angela,This reminds me of one time when I was driv...Angela,<BR/>This reminds me of one time when I was driving home from my sister's house and I saw up on a hill, mowed in the grass, "Jesus Saves".

I was pleading with God for their health, telling Him how desperate these people are for His touch - how they cannot make it without Him. And then I confessed, none of us - "healthy" as we may be - can make it without Him.<BR/>We NEED Him. Yes, we do.
