Thanks for the challenge, Amanda. I’ve been thinking about how I’m using my time lately. Still trying to figure out what to do and what to set aside. I guess it’s always an ongoing evaluation.

This is a great post. Have been thinking about this for quite some time and working on instill in my boys that work can be fun – not just drudgery. God put us here to take dominion over creation, after all.
And no, eating the bread of idleness all winter long is not for me. It’s a contributing factor to depression in my humble experience.

It is so hard… I even struggle with busyness just to feel busy instead of really doing something productive. But I cannot sit and watch TV knowing that there is so much that actually needs to get done.

Amanda, I wish we could sit down face-to-face and talk! I don’t know the particulars of your issues, but I feel like God is working on me in similar ways. I’m striving to do all of the things that good wives and mothers do, yet I complain all the time because my husband doesn’t get home until 7 each night. I’ve had three kids to deal with all day by myself. But then I read one of the Little House books and see that they all work until bedtime essentially! I think a lot of my problem goes back to searching for happiness and then realizing that the feeling is fleeting. Instead, I need to find contentment in my situation, whatever it may be at the time.
Thanks for your openness with this post!
