Insight

"Lord, I need Your insight." This seems to be my prayer a lot lately. The definition of insight is "the act or power of seeing into a situation." (Webster's) I need insight on what You see wrong with America today and where I can bring Your truth to my neighbors.
My heart is heavy as I see women ignoring their heart's cry to be home. Young, godly women, are finding their hearts pulled to nurture, yet, society urges them on to college, to career, to a place where motherhood can not exist peacefully. Trying to raise a family and pursue a career does not mesh well. Something must give and I believe when both are trying to be accomplished the mother is overwhelmed and drained, while the children are alone and "under-nurtured"...a malnutrition of the soul and spirit.
As I have been churning the idea of doing college classes at home, my Lord has been walking me through the truth. Truth...His insight...asks,"Who will care for your children when then are sick for a week, if you are off studying? Will you shut down the computer when your child brings you a book to read while climbing into your lap? And most importantly, do you think the home is something of little value that you seek a career when they are grown?"
So I take my journal and I begin to write more glorious reasons why God created the home and why it is essential for human life...all the while, my feverish six year old daughter snuggles close after a long week at school and says with a sigh,"I love being home."
