Stay AT home mom
I have always been a proponent of the little word "at". Realizing that it is not just a two letter word with no real meaning. "At", I think means "at". Mainly what it has always meant to me, is that my heart was not only geared toward my home, but that my feet were somewhat planted there as well. I have always been careful to not be away from my home too many times in a week. Now that we have moved to Tennessee, my "at" is becoming more clear. I am "at" home. However, as my friend pointed out, my days are great. I am teaching my kids, making things for my home. Enjoying some much needed rest and still there is an unrest that lingers. I am not sure what it is, ungratefulness, need to be needed outside or just that I am in transition to my new life. Today we read about pruning. When the pruning first takes place, the plant will go through a specific time of trial. It does not produce immediate fruit, however, without that pruning, it would not continue to produce any fruit. I am trying to recognize these things so as to receive with gratefulness the pruning of my Lord. He does all things well.

Yes! It is a transition period. But, you are still bearing fruit - you just don't see it that way, but you are. It's just different fruit than before. He DOES do ALL things well.
