What do you do? I'm just a mom.

My sister, Raysha, recomended this book to me a long time ago, and the Easter bunny finally brought it to me, so I read it. It is written by Jane Clayson Johnson, who quit her job as a top
news correspondent to be a stay at home mom. It is the perfect book for anyone who has ever felt unimportant because they do not go to a physical job and bring home a paycheck. Reading this book really lifted me up. Read it, you'll love it. Borrow mine if you want! Here's just a taste of what you'll get.
Quoting Sheri Dew..."'It's no wonder,' she says, 'that Satan has declared war on motherhood. he knows that those who rock the cradle can rock his earthly empire. And he knows that without righteous mothers loving and leading the next generation, the kingdom of God will fail. When we understand the magnitude of motherhood, it becomes clear why prophets have been so protective of woman's most sacred role.' Are you protective of that role? when asked, do you meekly respond that you're just a mother, or do you confidently declare, 'I am a mother'?"

I love that book! My mom gave it to me for mother's day last year! I think I am now going to read it again!

I soooo agree that Satan has declared war on Motherhood! I'm definitely going to read it after we're done with this challenge. I miss reading. Isn't that funny?
