I think as moms, we are conflicted when it comes to following our dreams. After all, pursuing personal ambitions takes time and commitment – two things that are difficult to come by between work and soccer practices. Add in guilt to this equation and you might as well forget it. After all, shouldn’t we find our soul’s fulfillment through our children? Shouldn’t that be enough?
For those of you who feel that the priority of your dreams is lost to the responsibility to others, I say Have Faith. Continue to dream and don’t ever give up. Although it may not be the best timing – don’t ignore the voice within that urges you towards your dreams. Give it the attention it deserves and have faith in the process.
The following passage beautifully speaks to this theme. Enjoy…
“God created every one of us to be successful. Before the foundation of the world, He laid out an exact plan for our life. And in this plan, He has marked moments that are going to come across our paths. These moments are not ordinary. They are destiny-altering moments. They are designed to thrust you years ahead. It says in Ecclesiastes that “time and chance come together for every person.” That means you’ll have opportunities to meet the right people, opportunities to advance in your career, opportunities to fulfill your dreams. God has already pre-arranged times of increase and blessing. You may not be seeing a lot of good breaks right now, but let me encourage you; there are seasons of favor and seasons of increase marked for your future. There are God-ordained moments planned out for you. Don’t miss these moments! Don’t stop believing, and don’t get distracted by what’s going on in the world around you. Focus on removing the clutter from your life so that you can hear the still, small voice. Approach today with an attitude of faith and expectancy. As you do, you’ll embrace the God-ordained moments that are ordered for you!” Author Unknown
This is so beautiful! I was frustrated when I couldn't get a PR job when I first moved to TX so I followed another dream and went to massage school. At the spa where I worked I met a woman who helped me launch my work-at-home mom PR freelance career. Looking back, it's neat to see how it all fell into place!
