I know there is a need...

I know there is a need...for this. To read and experience, to know there are other women who are deeply connected to their families but called to work outside the home. I know there are other women who struggle with my same struggles. Who have to organize things in such a way as to thrive and not just survive the everyday week while being away from their children and spouses for the majority of the week.

I know that there are creative women who want to be present with themselves and with others. I know these women struggle with identity, fitting into circles of motherhood and validating that it's ok to be a godly women seeking God's favor and heart while working outside of their home.

I validate those women who work inside the home and I validate all that I can read about doing so, but there's not much reading about women who feel a calling outside. Women who pray for protection over their children throughout the day and who also desire to impact others in a positive way.

My mission ties into it all although I never realized it until about a year ago: to become vulnerable for God's glory by encouraging and guiding women towards personal and relational growth, balance and significance in Christ through creative and intentional methods

It's a balancing game of the most difficult level in my mind. We balance our identities although I'm fully a daughter of God first and foremost. We seek significance and to know that we are needed, we are wanted and that we are unique. We desire to grow and to be connected to others and especially our loved ones.

I hope to have some along this journey with me and maybe...they'll be bold enough to share their own wisdom and their own lessons. I'll be sharing therapeutic questions along the way to consider and coaching...we'll see where this goes. But ultimately may this encourage you...
