Endings and Beginnings

by Becky Porter

One of the great things, for me, about this time of year is the opportunity for self-evaluation and reflection.  I love setting new goals and refocusing my priorities.

Last night as I pondered where I am and where the Lord needs me to be, I received a clear witness that my efforts and focus need to be 100% on my family right now.  I have been involved in many wonderful, worthwhile pursuits lately such as writing for this blog.  I know that Heavenly Father is pleased with my efforts and those things that I have done in the past, but I also know that it is time for me to move on.

I am excited to focus on my children and my home.  There are many voices in the world which try to tell women they can be anything...except content to be "just" a homemaker and stay-at-home mother. Everyone has a different purpose here on earth.  I have always been thrilled that my glorious call is to raise children.  It is a great and awesome work (not to mention crazy hard!) to provide a loving, safe, good environment for children and raise them to be loving, hard-working citizens.  I am grateful for this chance to focus completely on it.

Thank you, readers, for your positive feedback and encouragement.  I hope that all your endings are sweet and your beginnings are positive this new year.

Farewell!

  5. There is a time and a season for everything. God is calling you to be with your family, and that's an honorable pursuit. Our family is our first responsibility. Thank you for all your work here!
