Not because I dont think it's my place to do it, mostly because I don't feel like doing said thing at the time. When he does do it, because he's a good hubby, I usually find myself frustrated because he's doing my job. I guess that's why he looks at me when I fix the sink or unclog a toilet like, hey! Stop that. This article got me thinking, Thanks! I give my hubby the "I'm not your slave, do it yourself." speech a lot.

Honestly I have probably been a bit of a player and a pretender at different stages of my life. It took me a while to feel comfortable being a wife and mother, I was caught up societies call for "more" now however, I am very comfortable with it, and love my job as a wife and mom.It fills me to the core of who I am.

Hard truths are good to hear. I struggle a lot with the joy. I say I love my role as wife, mom and homemaker, but do I really act like it on a consistent, daily basis? Asking myself whether my girls will want to have my life one day is a convicting one. My grumbling comes far too easily. Thanks for this little "kick". You always call it like it is, Natalie.

I'm so grateful to God for using this little offering to touch your hearts. I will pray for each one of you (and me too)...that He will strengthen us to do the task He has called us to do. I was just reading this morning in The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, " After David in his generation had served the counsel of God, then David fell asleep. (Acts 13:36) O that should be the care of a Christian, to serve out God's counsels. What is the counsel of God? The circumstances I am in, God has put me into by His own counsel, the counsel of His own will." Oh ladies. I'm so grateful to God for using this little offering to touch your hearts.

This article is so fantastic. For me, I work outside of the home 30 hours a week, and I always think if ONLY I could just quit my job and stay home with my daughter, THEN I would be happy. I have been known to grumble and complain, and that is not an attitude that looks flattering on me! I need to "contentedly surrender". I know God will make a way for me to stay at home when the time is right! WOW. This article is so fantastic.

I really needed to read this today! I have really been struggling with entitlement and the life "I deserve" (what a joke...), and God has really been working in me with this. Thank you for this post.
