Kingdom Work

I have a bachelor’s degree, and a postgraduate degree. I have had a successful career in a well-respected profession. I don’t think that because I spend most of my time with my children, that I am uneducated or living a menial existence. In fact, the greatest education of my life began when I became a mother. Since given the beautiful privilege of raising and educating my children, I have never been more busy, more creative. I have never been more well-read and I have never used my brain as much to think outside the box, solve problems and contemplate life’s big questions. I have never before been so connected with groups of intelligent women to share deep discussions with and to grapple with society’s most pressing issues.

Sure, motherhood can be brainless and banal and monotonous if that’s all you take from it – just like anything in life. But if you grasp this precious role with both hands and truly use the gifts you’ve been given, you can transform, create, problem-solve, think, be busy, and be transformative. Motherhood is real work, and it is important work. It is the profession that creates all other professions. It is kingdom work.
