I am a stay-a-home mom and a pastors wife. We are new to our current church(a little over a year)and I lead kid’s church among other ministries. And I am so struggling with this. Part of me feels like my kids (age 3, 18mo, and one on the way)should be my main ministry right now. And they are, but my mind is always on ministry. I love running kid’s church and I wouldn’t want to give that up, but I feel like maybe I am robbing my own kids of their “whole mother”.
I’ve always believed there are seasons of life, is it possible that right now, just isn’t my season for doing so much at the church? How do you decide when service is just too much? Am I just an un-organized whimp? Will the answers come with age and experience?
Help!!!

Revelation always comes in perfect time, doesn’t it – at the moment when our hearts are ready and open to accept it.

It’s AWESOME to have friends who are honest with you. I wish I had more. It makes life soooooo much easier. I pondered this quesion many times. I don’t have a choice to work. I am the main source of income in the family, I also have a full time ministry and 3 kids, and a marriage. Like you Lori, It’s my life I don’t have to choose either. It’s what I do. Really,if I look at it, I really enjoy it. I’m so glad your friend got you through this, what an amazing adventure.
