Dear Diary, My Passion Is...My Family

Most people with children feel some type of passion for them. It is understandable. Mothers go out of their way to protect and provide for their children. Fathers get even more protective and want earnestly to be the one who "takes care of" them. But for me, I've found that my passion for my family has found its outlet in several unique ways.

As a Virtual Assistant...
This is an awesome job that allows me to work from home and still be able to be there for my children. When they are sick, I'm here. When they need help with homework, I'm here. When they have projects for school, I'm here. When they want to play, I'm here. Not only that, I love what I do! In spite of all the struggles that the current economy has thrown our way, I absolutely love working with real estate professionals. You can't get a better job than that!

As a Youth Counselor...
I am able to hear what my children have to say in a way that is comfortable for them. Kids share so much with their friends, things that they may not always feel comfortable sharing with their parents. Being a counselor allows me to hear it and process what they are saying without giving them the feeling that I'm interfering in their lives.

As a Christian...
I am in a unique position to teach my children about the Lord. It helps us (my husband and I) make the best choices for them and affords us the opportunity to provide them with sound reasons why we made the decisions we did. Also, being a Christian helps me to show them the right way to live and provide them with sound doctrine of WHY we should be the way we are.

As a mother of 6...
Our large family is a direct tribute to my husband, who I love dearly. Having more children than most has given us many trials but so much joy! My children are my husband's legacy. Hopefully, we will nuture and raise them so that they will be great additions to the community!

All that I do is for my family. I have friends. I have interests other than my kids and my husband. But they are not my passion. My family is. And I'm so, so glad I have them!

If only they had a invented these great work at homes jobs a few years earlier, I quit my job to stay at home and raise our girls. No regrets.

Renae, I share that passion with you. My family means the world to me. I've got 8 kids, (though most of them are married and out of the house by now), a super husband and 20 grandkids so far. There weren't too many work at home kind of jobs when my kids were growing up, but I did have the luxery of being able to stay home and be a full time Mom until after my youngest was in school fulltime. What a joy and blessing. The all grow up so quickly so don't squelch the time!

I hear you Kathleen. Working at home has been great, especially with our expanding family. I can't imagine going back to a traditional job which wouldn't be nearly as flexible as we need.

I don't know about being a fantastic mom, Deb. I think it's more "hanging on by my hairs" to no screw up their little lives by doing or saying something stupid! hahahaha

Hey Sheldon! After you have 3, it isn't nearly so nerve wracking anymore. They just arrive! hahahha

Wow, Leah! You had 8 kids??? That's awesome!! I struggled with the 6 that I had. Was on complete bedrest with the last 2 (twins). Wasn't sure I was going to make it through. Doctor was concerned so we decided that was it. I love the big family though.

Six!! How do you do it? I have my hand FULL with just two! An agent just the other day was surprised that I answered my phone after I told him I was at the rodeo with my son, I said to him that I have two hats and sometimes I have to wear them at the same time :)
