Kudos to you for showing true commitment to your situation NOW rather than trying to figure it out when the going gets tough. It can be done, but it’s also a big sacrifice!

Hi, I know this post is rather old but I just wanted to say a big THANKYOU for encouraging me. My husband and I do not have children yet but God willing we will start trying in January
He is a teacher and for teh past two months we have been living on his salary alone and saving mine to use as a down payment on a house. We have both been a bit disappointed since both months we have been in the red and it has made us wonder if we will be able to make it… Readign through your series i am convinced of this one thing over and over and over again: Make the decision you think is right for you in God’s eyes and let HIM take care of the parts that don’t make sense. I am so encouraged to see wives of teachers making it on just one income. God bless you and thanks again!

@Jolyn @ Macomb Money Savers, It is so comforting to know that there are other families surviving and thriving on one teacher's salary!

Hmmm… I checked and I’m able to use the links. Can you tell me which one again? What words are highlighted?

I am going to miss this series. Thank you for the encouragement to do what is best for our family and seek approval only from our Lord.
Growing character in our children is not an easy vocation but a worthwhile and rewarding endeavor…however the journey takes form.

I wanted to let you know that I’ve really appreciated & enjoyed reading your series on “Mommy Come Home.” I am pregnant with our first child & found out yesterday that our baby has a very serious birth defect & will not survive more than a few minutes to a few hours after birth. We are devestated, but not defeated. God is still on His throne. But my heart aches as I was just longing to be a stay-at-home mommy to this little baby. My dream has been shattered, at least temporarily. We trust that He will give us another opportunity to be parents.
Thank you again for being so brave and delving into a topic that is kinda counter-cultural these days.
If you are interested, you can find updates on my blog. If not, that is fine. Just know that I appreciate your series. You did an amazing job with it.

@Cathy @ Chief Family Officer, Exactly! I have family members and friends who work outside the home and I don't want them to feel judged for doing what's right for their family.
