1. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she leaves the sphere God intends for her. God gave us His plan at the very beginning in Genesis and it hasn’t changed. When Eve woke up to life, she woke up in her home, the place where God wanted her to be. God created Adam before the home but didn’t create Eve until He had the home ready for the woman.
2. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she leaves her babies and little children whom God has given to her as His love gift. When God gives a baby to a mother, He doesn’t give it to her to give to someone else to care for. He gives this precious child to her. Mothers and babies are not meant to be separated. They should be inseparable.
3. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she goes out to make another man wealthy. She serves him rather than her own husband. She will spend much finance on cars, gas, clothes, daycare, fast food etc. She would bless her husband more by being at home with the children and learning to make things from scratch at home. As my husband says: “A husband cannot afford for his wife to go to work outside the home. Too much is at stake.”
4. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she is no longer fulfilling the biblical pattern God has given in His Word. I know this is not easy for those whose husbands have left them without provision and they must do something to feed their families, but I am speaking generally.
5. When a mother leaves her home for another career her children are deprived. No other woman, no matter how caring and efficient, can take the place of a mother. No one but the mother truly senses the needs of her child. Now stats are showing that in some daycares children are being abused mentally and psychologically.
6. When a mother leaves her home for another career there is no one at home guarding and guiding the home. We as mothers are watchdogs of our homes. We are the guarders and protectors of our children—body, soul, and spirit. Satan has the opportunity to make inroads into the hearts and minds of our children when they are left unattended. What happens to children who come home from school and their mother is still at work? This is Satan’s plan, to get mothers out of the home, so he can influence the children!
Can I leave you with this Scripture from Micah 2:9: “The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant chouses from their children have ye taken away my glory forever.” God sees the home as the children’s glory. It is their inheritance. He intends for them to be raised in the home. Here are some other translations:
Knox: “And you would dispossess its women of the homes they loved, take away from its children my glory for ever.”
NET: “You defraud their children of their prized inheritance.”

Your worth is in who God created you to be. You are a woman, a female, by God’s sovereign plan and design. It is as a female you will fulfill the destiny God has for you in this life. Embrace your womanhood and femininity with all your heart.
We as mothers must be truth seekers and truth speakers to our children. Our children are growing up in a world of deception. The only way our children will stand strong against the deception is if they are saturated in the truth is God’s word! I trust your children are not sitting in public school being bombarded with humanistic and liberal philosophies day by day. I hope you are educating them at home and they are becoming Word-saturated children and young people.

That’s why we must know what God’s Word says rather than what society says. We must seek God’s ways for us as women and mothers. Our current world system doesn’t always line up with the Scriptures but who are you prepared to believe?
Death could not hold his prey
Marriage and building a family is made up of love, Laughter, fellowship, fun, heartache, suffering, overwhelming tiredness, challenges, joys, and multitudes of blessings.

It’s a dreary life with a quarrelsome wife,
“Mothers, be especially careful to regulate your daughters well . . . Be watchful over them, that they may be keepers at home. Above all, instruct them to be pious, modest, despisers of wealth, indifferent to ornament.
Dear mother, God does not intend for you to be groveling under the cloud of self-pity, grumbling and complaining, and all your household tasks on top of you. He wants you to reign. Rise up to your calling and manage your household well.
Did you know that God wants your home to be holy? Wow, that’s a huge undertaking isn’t it? Especially when our homes are filled with sinners. We are sinners and our children are sinners. And even though we are sinners saved by grace, we are still prone to sin. But as we invite God to come and dwell in our lives and our homes, He woos us to holiness.
It is the devil who hates submission.
