WOW, Kayse!!
what a wonderfully honest and connecting chat…I feel like you knew at that moment you wrote those words about struggling to find accomplishment and achievement in your home that the rest of us would be nodding our heads and smiling in agreement!
this is a HUGE issue for me…a long time empty nester and grandmother…to find the contentment in the simple things that gives me the joy to continue to do all those chores and routines I know are necessary for a good life, but now, with this realization of your words, that are probably the real purpose in a great life!… to serve, to make beauty and give love…even to those pretty dishes I really enjoy!! thankyou for your insight and giving of your time to share! you really are amazing!

Great post! I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot and I appreciate your thoughts. I’m in a similar boat… mom (3 young kiddos), wife, and blogger. It’s a lot! Definitely a challenging season and I enjoyed your perspective and the idea “small and faithful.” Thanks!

What a beautiful and inspiring post to remind us all of the truth that our worth is in Christ as we serve our families each and every day! Small and faithful…love it!

This has been an ongoing struggle for me. I always feel like I should be doing more. As a stay at home mom, I often feel like I should be earning money too even though my husband doesn’t feel that way (he’d be totally fine if I did but he feels like I do a lot for the family and it is). I appreciate this article for affirming what we do as being good enough in a world that said the opposite. Thank you, Kayse!

I never comment on any posts, but I had to with this one. This was a great reminder. As summer is fast approaching, this morning, I got stuck in the “Pinterest Rabbit Hole” trying to achieve the stuff that will wow my kids this summer and honestly, feel like a Supermom. This email reminded me that God made me the Supermom already. My Bible Study group ended just last week for summer break and I’m already forgetting what I learned. Thanks Kayse for the reminder and if it’s any consolation, you are making a huge difference in the life of other moms to make them feel worthy both through Jesus and self-esteem. You rock!

Thank you so much Kayse for this beautiful reminder today! I really needed it! Over-achiever over here, hard at work, but doing the wrong things and I needed this redirect today! Thank you!

I am not a huge commenter on blogs I read but just had to say something to this. I have always wanted to be a mom. My kids are 14, 12, and 9 now. You are right that the job is not glamorous or necessarily even valued by today’s world, but if our identity is in Christ and we are doing the job we are called to do-which I fully believe for me is being a mom-then take joy and delight in that. Even when the job of the moment is a mundane or even a yucky one. It is definitely one for the long term-raising people who love Jesus and care for others. It doesn’t look important or special on the outside but WOW it is important in the long run. Thanks for all the great encouraging words you share with us-I enjoy your blog!

Thanks for this article. I just wrote “small and faithful” in my organized life planner. You know how people come up with a word for the year? I think mine is going to be small and faithful though I know that is 3 words.
