“I wish I could stay home with my baby!” It’s what I heard from my co-workers when I put in my notice. It’s what I heard from friends.

I began to worry! If they couldn’t afford it on their income, how would we be able to afford it? Yet, there we were affording it, and not because we had it like that.

I kid you not! For an entire year, I worried that I would need to work outside of the home.

Even though every bill was paid.

Even though every need was met.

Even though some of our wants were met.

I listened to the people around me with kajillion dollar salaries who couldn’t afford to be stay-at-home moms. I listened to well meaning family and friends who asked how we could afford it. And I worried.

How did we make it, you ask? I’ll tell you. But for now, precious mama, bury this deep in your heart. If you have a burning desire to be home raising your children, the Lord will provide!

I didn’t get that truth early on. It took a dear friend to open my eyes to the evidence of God’s faithfulness in my life. I want the same revelation for you!

The next time we get together, I’ll give you specifics on what we did and how God filled in the gaps. But, Sis, stop worrying. You’re not alone.
