Coming to the field this time with three kids, I had an idea of what life would be. I knew that I would basically be doing the same thing that I did in Texas. I would still be homeschooling, taking care of my husband, cooking and making our house a home.
What I didn't know was the joy that would be mine to be just exactly (and only) what God has called me to be - wife and mother. Never mind that doing here all the things that I did in America is a hundred times more difficult and complex. It is also many times more sweeter to do so. Many days when I am juggling all that demands my time, I stop to thank the Lord for what He is doing in our lives.
Is this the 'simple life' that everyone seems to crave? Well, I can tell you one thing for very sure - nothing about living and ministering in the bush of Zambia is simple but it is simply a joy to do so.
So, who am I? I am exactly who God has called me to be. What about you? Has the world pulled you away from your first priority - being a wife and mother?
Come back to who God wants you to be.
