Thank you for listening to The Radiant Mission podcast! We are on a mission to encourage and inspire you on your walk with Christ and as you journey through life.
In Episode 29 we discuss finding balance and joy as a working mom. Specifically, from a work-from-home perspective. We hope this episode brings your encouragement!
In This Episode:
The Lord gives us all different gifts.
For a working mom, or a work-from-home mom, perseverance is often a trait that can keep us going.
Babysitting as a teenager can help hone the skills needed for balance as a mom or working mom later in life.
To be a working mom that also works from home, you have to be flexible.
Being obsessed with a schedule will leave you frustrated and disappointed when it doesn’t go to plan.
The first step to having a good experience as a working mom is choosing to work for a company that is the right company for you. (If applicable.)
Rebecca shares her “why” for not sending her kids to daycare or hiring a nanny.
God doesn’t give us what we want when we want it.
Some days will be hard. But if you want to be a working mom, it’s about finding the balance with work and with your kids.
Our life experiences help to shape us.
Children are a blessing from the Lord.
How can a working mom or work-from-home mom find joy?
Getting to be with our children, getting to experience the milestones, being the one that they turn to—it is an honor. It’s about perspective. We can choose to be angry or frustrated. Or, we can choose joy. When we choose to be grateful, we choose joy.
We only have little kids for a few years. It’s important to seek to find balance to spend with our children.
Find times to connect and have 1-1 time with your children. There are always ways to find ways to connect, even if it’s cooking!
Mindset is so important. We get to choose our mindset.
Bible Verses Mentioned:
James 1:2-4
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
Hebrews 13:21
May he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.
