morning thought

Doing a particular thing is not in and of itself wrong. I had a job and a car, and though it made no sense to quit and sell my car, I did it, and that is how my mobile game addiction started, and I nearly returned to it out of a desire to buy things for my daughter. But, I did not stumble that way again, though looking around I noticed things I had or paid for like my piano, my exercise equipment, redoing my shower, etc. I told myself that I COULD have those thing (as I have run out of make-up, shampoo, yarn, clothes that fit and want running shoes and an elliptical or treadmill), but I can simply do without those things as they are trappings themselves. Enter my morning thought! It may have been right to quit my job to be at home for the kids when they were small, but, perhaps it is right to have a job now, if only to keep myself from wasting my life playing foolish money-making games. I always think, but when I worked I knew 100 percent that it was not my duty to provide for my family and if I quit, I would be rewarded for my faith. It was hard. I absolutely loved my job! to the point that I actually tried to get a better job at the same place, and I could have, though life and circumstances were against me, and I realized it and gave up. It sounds like big talk, but even my Pat. Blessing states that I will accomplish whatever I set my mind to, so be sure to keep eternal perspective... heh, sounds like that Garth Brooks song, "The Dance". But, that is the sentiment: be careful what you want to accomplish because you will do it. So, getting a job can be done, it is a matter of if it should...I gave a speech about how mothers ought to be in the home, helping it run smoothly. And I just cannot get it out of my head that I might be doing myself peril in working outside of the home. Likely, all the things I want I would be better off without.
