Over the past little time I have been suffering from a real anger about the elections and the way things went. I was feeling so disappointed in the people of this nation and the way they voted for a party that I believe has and will ruin this nation. I was so upset on Election Night that I was ready to pack up and leave the country. My husband said "and exactly where would you go?" ... but of course I love this country.
When I was having a little complain to God about it, okay so I was having a big whinge to God about it, as I had asked Him not to give us the government we deserve but to have mercy on us ... He said to me "Where is your citizenship?"
So this morning in my time with God I decided to look up Citizenship in my bible and find that verse about my citizenship being in heaven. I also found the whole Chapter of Philippians 3 is a great read that put my mind back in right order.
Philippians 3:20
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Understanding this helps me to put things in context and realize like Joseph did that I may be stuck in Egypt but only God can put me in a position to make the most of it.
So hopefully now I will alter my attitude and remember .. The World Needs My Footprints ... How beautiful are the feet of those....... Romans 10:15
Am I the only one having these struggles?

What is the most important Job in the World?
If there is one thing I wish I knew a lot earlier in my life, it's the answer to this question.
I believe the role of Mother has been greatly downgraded in our society. I am not writing this article to knock mothers who have a career but to validate those who may not.
I believe that the role of Mother is the most important job in the world. If you can raise a child to reach the fullness of their potential - secure in who they are - no matter what economy is available to you, you have achieved more than anyone. Hats off to those mothers who decide not to be otherwise employed and sometimes feel like a lesser being when having to tick 'housewife' on a form. Whichever you choose to be a mom with a career or a mom without know that your most important role is that of Mother, as this influence is generational.
When I look at our two sons I am certainly not sorry that we have raised men who are confident and contributing to our world with Godly character.
To the Moms out there who sometimes feel overstretched, unappreciated, unimportant or bored let me tell you it is all worth it in the end when you kiss and hug the responsible adult that you have nurtured.
