Thank you, thank you, thank you for this... I truly think you were an answer to prayer today!Sarah Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16384771751959043134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-18532916655737024552008-07-31T22:36:00.000-04:002008-07-31T22:36:00.000-04:00And with that, dear Kate, you have not only (once again!) said just what I needed to read today, but you have capped it off and inspired me to just turn off the puter. Be done with the day. (Dare I suggest that I go (gasp) read a book???)<BR/><BR/>Hugs, big big BIG hugs. :)Sarah Reinhardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05682511477646768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-25121323927836238992008-07-20T23:42:00.000-04:002008-07-20T23:42:00.000-04:00I came across your blog through CatholicMom ... The Lord must have sent me your way because I could have SO written that entry. Mrs. Ambition likes to beat the snot out of me when my defenses are down ... but I know, I know, I know that my vocation entails my family and children FIRST. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes, Mrs. Ambition holds me hostage, and the children are neglected while I scribble in my notebooks. <BR/><BR/>But thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone and that, through prayer, Mrs. Ambition can be kept away from my house.<BR/><BR/>Peace!Pixilated Mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15010965207335996591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-13821530479818825492008-07-17T17:21:00.000-04:002008-07-17T17:21:00.000-04:00Yes! I wish more people would "proclaim" what you said - that being a mother and wife IS ENOUGH... It's huge! I am so sick of the lack of support for us, even from good people. Like when they ask me "what's your professional background?" and I feel like I have to talk about my "Mrs. Ambition" stuff. No - the most important, most accomplished part of me is my wife/motherhood. I am a professional mother.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10954563788369540450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-90934715186104082402008-07-16T22:36:00.000-04:002008-07-16T22:36:00.000-04:00As a new mom and newly out of the work force this really hit me. I never had the desire to have a career - I always wanted to be a sahm. But now that I'm here I'm really struggling, ashamed that I have done nothing with my life. I'm trying to convince myself that I like what I've done and what I'm doing and the rest of the world doesn't matter, but instead I'm learning just how proud and selfish I am.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01805401564651493025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-64530045913326692452008-07-16T17:56:00.000-04:002008-07-16T17:56:00.000-04:00Kate,<BR/>I just found your blog through Writers Weekly. I LOVE this post. You are speaking my language. I am perpetually struggling between being wife/mom and all that entails and getting "it all" accomplished. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for steering me back to what matters most. <BR/><BR/>Your kids are beautiful.Mary Bernardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157346230003594272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-50801156753227686892008-07-16T13:31:00.000-04:002008-07-16T13:31:00.000-04:00Once again you've done it!

I've been reading your blog on and off for a few weeks, and this post really got me! I feel like you were writing for me, lol. I've been struggling with being everything for everyone and the fact that I don't seem "good enough" to some people because I don't desire to become something more than I am, a stay at home mom and wife. This reassured me and made me realize this is where I am supposed to be and I'm not here to please them, I'm here for my hubby and boys because that's where the Lord wants me!Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08866222144325532286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-91049890395371040882008-07-16T01:34:00.000-04:002008-07-16T01:34:00.000-04:00Amen!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Kate. I SO needed to hear this today. <BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, I just might need to read this again tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>And the next day.<BR/><BR/>And the next...<BR/><BR/>:)Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16567375902563099066noreply@blogger.com
