More than a Job, More than a Mom: A Story of Purpose in Parenting and Profession.

Being a work-from-home mom is a season unlike any other—a beautiful, complicated blend of professional duties and motherhood moments. A constant shift between deadlines and attending to a toddler's needs, video calls and bedtime stories. While it's not always easy, I wouldn’t trade it for anything, because in this season, I get to work while witnessing my daughter grow each day—and that is a gift I treasure deeply.

There’s a quiet joy in hearing my daughter’s giggles from the next room as I type away on my laptop. I can pause to hold her little hands, share a snack, or read her a book between tasks. These small, sacred interruptions are what make this season so meaningful. I'm not missing milestones; I’m present for her first words, her growing curiosity, and the sparkle in her eyes as she explores the world around her. Each day I get to see more of who she’s becoming, and that is an immeasurable joy.

But let’s be honest—this journey isn’t without its challenges. There are days when the house is a mess, the emails are piling up, and I feel like I’m giving only half of myself to everything. Fatigue settles in after long nights and early mornings, and sometimes I wonder if I’m doing enough—or doing anything well. The balance between being a nurturing mom and a productive worker often feels like a small slip away from things falling apart.

And yet, even in the weariness, there is grace.🥺❤️

God has sustained me in ways I never imagined. When I feel like I have nothing left to give, He fills me with strength. When I’m overwhelmed, He gives peace that surpasses understanding. When I doubt myself, He reminds me that I’m not alone in this journey. His grace carries me through the chaos, and His presence gives purpose to each day.

This season may be hard, but it’s holy too. It has taught me to depend on God more, to celebrate the little victories, and to find beauty in the ordinary. I’ve learned that success isn’t just about climbing a ladder in my career—it’s also about raising a little girl to know she is loved, seen, and cherished.

So even in the messiness, I praise God. I praise Him for this season of togetherness, for the strength to press on, and for the daily mercies that meet me in motherhood and work. Being a work-from-home mom isn’t always easy, but it is abundantly worth it.

I realized that this season is not just about my job, or my role as a mother - IT'S ABOUT JESUS, and His purpose being fulfilled in me, right here, right now, in the midst of it all. ❤️☝️

On the same day, I found myself attending two very different events, yet both left me with a deep sense of awe at how God’s plan unfolds.

In the afternoon, I attended a friend's 18th birthday party. There was so much joy in the air—laughter, music, and the promise of a bright future. It was a celebration of youth, of beginnings, and of everything she had yet to experience. The day was filled with hope and excitement, and as I looked around at the young faces, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude for all the possibilities life has to offer.

But later that evening, everything changed. I was at a relative's funeral - she was the last sibling of my grandpa to pass on. The somber mood was in stark contrast to the afternoon's festivities, and my heart weighed heavy as I stood with mourners, offering support and prayers. Yet, amidst the sadness, there was a strange comfort. As I sat there, surrounded by family, a profound sense of loss and reflection washed over me. This relative of mine had lived a full life, and her death marked the end of an era for our family. It was a moment of finality, and yet, as I thought about her legacy, there was also a sense of peace. She had lived with strength, faith, and love, and though she was gone, her impact on us would never fade.

I couldn’t help but think about the two events—the birthday and the funeral—happening on the same day. Life and death, beginnings and endings, joy and sorrow. It was in this contrast that I realized something greater - God’s plan, though often mysterious, weaves these moments of joy and sorrow together. Birth and death are not opposites but parts of a divine rhythm, reminding us that each life, regardless of its duration, is precious and meaningful.

I saw how both moments fit together in a way I couldn’t fully understand, yet somehow made perfect sense. The future of my young friend was unfolding, while the past of my grandmother had closed. In that balance of life and death, I found a deeper trust in God’s timing. He weaves each story, and in His plan, all things have their season—one of celebration and one of remembrance. Both are sacred, and both are part of the beautiful tapestry of life.

Sometimes the answer to our prayers is not gaining but losing—losing of pride, greed, ego, anger, insecurity, and more, which actually is the gain.

Do not bring me anywhere without Your presence, Lord.

"My prayer is that we will see God for who he really is with his jagged peaks and fathomless deeps, and that, by his grace, many will come – not to celebrate themselves, but to worship God."
