Anyway, her issues are making my current issues non-issues.
Mostly....I still don't love work... And even though it's the best nursing fit I've found so far for me- my co-worker relationships are so challenging! The job is thankless, and so many undefined problems need to be solved with team-work, which isnt hapening. And I'm trying to think about the future, and I really really really just want to be a stay at home mom... And it's looking less and less possible. And I keep trying not to compare to other of my friends (loosing battle), and trying to not be threatened every time I see a nice condo or house for sale and Husband says, "well, that's a you working full-time house" :P Non-issues in comparison to the sadness faced by my single friends (I remember those days, and do not wanna go back!)... Non-issues compared to global suffering or even local fatherless and homeless...
"I believe... Help my unbelief!"
Well, maybe they're non-issues in light of global suffering, but God sees our hearts and knows their desires, and I think he hurts when we hurt, too, no matter the issue. Comparison is the thief of joy. Remember that. Weigh things carefully and if you choose a nicer, newer house over being a SAHM, rejoice in that choice! And if you choose an older or smaller house so you can afford to be a SAHM, revel in that and love it! Make wise decisions and then LIVE in them! Because how we live our days is how we live our lives. And who wants to live a life full of regret and complaining?
