Ep 175 - Choosing to stay home with your kids isn't the most glamorous job. In fact, there aren't promotions, raises, or a paycheck. You won't get an annual company party with other employees celebrating your achievements and patting you on the back. Most often the opposite is true. You're left exhausted by the end of the day. The accolades are few. The rewards aren't always visible. So why do women choose homemaking and motherhood? Is it possible that this path is even MORE fulfilling than most other career choices? NEW - The Biblical Womanhood Bootcamp FREE BOOK - Battling Sexual Temptation: A Biblical Toolkit for Christian GirlsSupport the Show.Support the ShowFOLLOW US:GirlDefined.comInstagram YouTube Facebook Pinterest
