“God wants to speak a different reality over your life. He wants you to know and believe that the fullness of Christ has been given to you. It is finished. It is accomplished. And nothing can change that. You have everything God has in Christ. You are full of love, joy, affirmation, blessing, and strength, so there is no need for comparison and no place for competition. This is the deathblow to the spirit of insecurity that can rule your life apart from Christ. This is the freedom you have in Christ, the security you have when God is your qualifier.” And in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. (Colossians‬ ‭2:10‬)

Parenting, Work and Families

“The Opt-Out Generations Wants Back In” - By Judith Warner

“O’Donnel told her: ‘This is the perfect reason why you need to work. You don’t have to make a million dollars. You don’t have to have a wealthy lifestyle. You just always have to be able to at least earn enough so you can support yourself,’” (Warner).  This quote reminds me of something my mother also says to me.  She always tells me to finish college so I can get a great job and support myself independently regardless of whatever circumstances I am faced with in the future.  

My mother could be considered to be part of the Opt-Out generation “…a group of former mega-achievers who were, as the anchor Lesley Stahl put it, ‘giving up money, success and big futures’ to be home with their children,” (Warner).  When I was born she decided to work from home, creating her business involving our home as a Child Day Care.  I believe, on her part that choosing to continue work to balance family life as well as continuing to obtain an income was a smart idea for her.  I know some mothers’ circumstances would not permit such a decision.  Eventually my mother had to join them.  

It is unfortunate that after putting so much time and effort into their child’s lives and education, mothers cannot seem to make it back into the corporate world.  They are no longer “qualified” which I believe is absurd.  After a period of time out of commission the mothers who decided to give up their work life for their children are still qualified to hold jobs that they once had.  If anything, some information should be brushed up on, for example science is constantly adapting, however, in the long run everyone is trained in the beginning of their job.  Just because one has not been working for a period of time does not mean they have lost the ability to learn and adapt.  If anything, being a mother has taught them to enhance those skills.
