I have been there! I think I can easily get to this place in a matter of just a few moments if I am not careful. We have so many things as moms, wives, bloggers, everything that we put our whole beings into and sometimes there can feel like little reward. I am so thankful that my reward is heavenly and not earthly.

I think you do a wonderful job as a blogger and as a friend (I have seen you online in other places). You are great cheerleader and one day those big opps will come to you too!

it is really hard when the circle of friends is not really deep. i have moved away from some close friends, and the distance has really strained the relationship. sure we are still friends, but not in a daily way. i just keep trying to connect with those closer to me, but its really hard sometimes and i still can’t fully be myself with them yet.

Sometimes we just need to get it out. My last almost 2 years have been like that. That was the whole reason I started my blog. Hang in there. Dont moms rock? Mine is the same way.

Wow! Good post! I think it’s good to express how you feel on your blog. It’s one thing I tell my husband all the time… I just need to talk to get it off my chest… I don’t want him to “fix it” or counsel me… I just need to talk. Just talking makes it better. I’m glad you wrote this and your transparency is refreshing… you go girl. And by the way… a stay at home mom has got to be the hardest, least appreciated job… yet it’s so rewarding too. I tell my mother, “I have a whole new appreciation for you.” Sounds like you have an awesome mother. I do too and it’s so helpful during those slump times. Hang in there. If it helps any… Phillipians 4:8 and Phillipians 4:13 are encouraging Bible verses.

I think we all feel this way from time to time, and quite honestly I don’t think that we as stay at home moms are the most susceptible to these feelings. Ask those that are doctors, lawyers, professors and they deal with the same issues.

I read Beth Moore’s book So Long Insecurity: You’ve Been a Bad Friend to Us recently, and it’s a great book for knowing your security both in Christ and your place in the world, it’s worth a read.

I know what you are talking about. Most of my friends were going to college and finding awesome jobs while I was at home caring for my children….before any of them were even married.
Sometimes I feel like I have been left in the dust while they are running their own businesses, buying homes, traveling the world and talking about all the things they have done. It is hard to not feel like you haven’t done all that much.
In your case, you have done more than you realize. You are uplifting so many people. You have a way about you that is full of grace and spirit. As Marla said, there are seasons in life and in time you will be where you want to be. Just try to keep your chin up and know that God will lead you where you need to be.
I am so thankful for finding you and reading your site…you are a very special person Kat, remember that….because we all do!
