I can't wait to be "released" from the work force for a while and raise my babies(21 months & 7 months). We are in the process of buying a home, so I must work to save money. I grieve everyday I have to drop them off at the sitter's. I get anxiety about it. Their sitter is a godly retired woman, but I still want them with me. DOn't get me wrong, I love the days when I am off and I take them to the sitter. It gives me some alone time with my husband. But for the most part, my desire is to stop working outside the home and even homeschool them(my family isn't happy about that thought...go figure). I respect a mother with young children decision to work, but I just wonder why, if she doesn't have to. I guess I am looking at the green grass on the other side, but I at least want to have the opportunity. Patiently waiting for my husband to "call me home"... ....I know this post may errk some, but pray for us anyway, please thanks.

4. I think the mistake of many people who believe as you do is in leaving the churches there are in because they are not perfect.  There is only perfection in Christ.  Christ loves his Bride and will not leave her or abandon her.  

4. All I can say is Amen and Amen - I see many folks who use the excuse that because the church is failing they stay out of church - this is disobedience and a cop out!!!  It is also the height of spiritual pride.

God Afternoon,
I agree with your post...
I have a question, about #4...is stepped on my toes for sure.

My husband and I left the church I was born in because we felt their "doctrine" was wrong...so should we have stayed and not let "spiritual pride" drive us out? I thought it was more of needing to find a church that we thought was sound. It broke my heart to leave, and I am still not over it almost 7 years later. I still wish I was there, but I know I can't change their minds about what they believe. They are my family mostly, so they know how I feel about their church. Should going back to that church be something we should consider because we left feeling we were in the right and they were wrong?
