Moms of Faith : Ever Feel Like You Are In Mommy Solitary Confinement

i came across this blog post while reading my favorite blog on Moms of Faith and I can completely relate to what Robin is saying. Please take a moment to read it

Short story into my life:
my family moved to Belmont (charlotte area) 2 years ago because I was getting a transfer with my job, during this time I was pregnant with my second child.  Once we had moved and was still getting settled in, my company told me that once I had my second child they would no longer need me (due to economic times of course). I was FIRED!! i've never been fired!  It was so difficult, knowing that once I gave birth to my child I would loose my job. I guess I was lucky that they allowed me to continue to work and receive benefits until I had Emma.

The first 3 months after her birth weren't bad, I was busy, occupied with all the new born stuff. Around month four I started finding it difficult, becoming depressed.. something i have experienced a few times in my life. Alone all day with my two kids, all i wanted to do was sleep! After all it wasn't MY PLAN to be a stay-at-home-mom.

to make a long story short....

after a year, and still no job, I knew something HAD to change. I was searching for the light at the end of the tunnel, which i thought would be getting a job, but what I realized was that I needed to have a relationship with my Father, God, Jesus!!! That's the piece that was missing.

And after one visit to Elevation, I was reminded of His glory and His great things. And for the FIRST time since I lost my job I was at peace, knowing that He will provide for my family.

God has giving me the courage to leave the house, to attend Church on a regular basis, to be on an eTeam and to start this eGroup. His love for me has open my heart to many new opportunities and to trust in Him for he knows what's best for me.

I am NOT alone and neither are you!! Remember God is always with you and He always has a listening ear. He's a GREAT listener.

All things are possible though Jesus Christ!!
