I have been a sahm for the past 12 years I left my corporate 9-5 because I wanted to take care of my kids we were scared because it was now only one income but God will provide I became a content creator my kids are doing great so we definitely see the fruits of our labor.
Wow, 12 years?? That’s awesome 👏🏽 God definitely provides.
I was a teacher for 7 years. The day before yesterday was my last day. I had to make this decision due to health problems. To also take care of my kids. They have chronic asthma and allergies to foods. So they get sick often. I'm a bit anxious how it will all go down but I'm trusting in God to help us ❤
Wow! Well I’m so grateful we serve a faithful God! I know He will be with you every step of this new journey. I pray health and strength over your entire family ! God bless 🫶🏽
@@daywithk Thank you so much! God bless you too!
Thank you I really needed this. I'm a new stay at home mom. So use to helping to contribute my husband started a job at the police academy which would need me at home with my two almost 2 year old. I'm a janitor and I loved my job. But I now realize that God wanted more time with me and my husband and kids needed me. This video did convict me. God your will be done not mine.
❤️❤️ Yes, His will be done. God bless!!
❤️❤️❤️
I was watching your teaching video because I am also a first year teacher and it’s crazy how much happier and glowy you look now. I wish you and your family many blessings ❤️
Wow, Thank you sooo much! ❤️❤️❤️ Have a blessed year!
how are you stay at home when you work on TH-cam that's a online job. your so called stay at home wives be lying. it's call an online job this TH-cam blogging thing.
May your children be as olive branches round about your table love. You surely will be blessed for your obedience to the ministry of motherhood
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
You look so much more full of the love of Christ and just beautiful and joyful after quitting your job. I’m still working my corporate 9-5 and can feel how it’s negatively impacting my mental health and ability to be a good wife and mother!
Thank you!
I know that feeling exactly! Praying for strength ❤❤
I’m a sahm mom for 2 years now , I have 3 kids one I home school and 2 toddlers age 1&2. I love being a sahm mom , spending time with my kids and taking care of home. Unfortunately I’m going to have to return back to work because financially were struggling with one income. I’m currently 2 semesters away from finishing my masters and my plan was to go back to work when my babies started school. I’m really not ready to go back to work and I have anxiety just thinking about putting my babies in daycare. So I thought about teaching because of the work balance and schedule for my family. Now with all the teachers I see online venting about how stress , overwork and underpaid they are I’m having second thoughts about entering this field , especially with all the requirements , a teacher preparation program , exams etc. I’m glad you are doing what’s best for you and your family. I pray that God will intervene for my family and all the other moms out there face with this same dilemma 🙏🏽
Yes! Teaching can be difficult, so I would definitely only do it if you truly love it.
But either way, I am praying for provision and guidance for your family!
God is a provider ❤️
Hey! God bless you. I am watching this testimony today and on my phone I have "Isaiah 41:13" and have been having it for a long time and I am praying about moving and moving out of my mom's home. God has talked to me truthfully through this testimony.
I’m so glad it has blessed you 🩷 Pray that he gives you clear direction as you move forward. God bless you 🤗
Thanks for sharing your testimony!
So good and powerful!!🙌
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m a true believer that God talks to us through coincidences like how that verse came back up for you. I hope you are enjoying your time as a SAHM ❤️.
Thanks for sharing!
I just watched your video today, and your story spoke volumes to me. All that you were feeling is exactly what I have been feeling this year. I just got a job as a teacher's aide last November, but as the months kept coming, I began to feel how more difficult it was becoming, especially since my husband is serving in the military atm. I have been really feeling that "mom guilt" and exhaustion as well. I've been doing my best to cling close to God these past few months and many things have been convicting me that God is calling me back home to be there for my family more. I love my students as well but my family is where my heart is struggling. But this just gives me more conviction of what God is saying. So thank you, Kayla, for sharing this with us. ❤️
Wow! Im glad this has helped you. I pray that God will give you such clear direction on what to do next ❤️ and that He will give you peace about the future !! God bless !!
Thank You, for this.
I just came across your channel! I feel like our lives parallel. Lol I will be a first year teacher this year, we actually went about a similar route to teaching... Same subject and grade level certification as well. I just came out of my season of rest where I quit my job to stay at home with my children. Now I'm about to begin my teaching journey. I'm nervous but I know God is with me. Actually the second video I watched on here you mentioned that you had just been studying 1 thessalonians 4:11. I was just studying that yesterday. And then when you said full circle on this video... It absolutely blew my mind! I was just watching a sermon late last night titled Full Circle by Sarah Jakes Roberts. It brings confirmation into something that I have been praying about. Thank you for sharing!
WOOW! That’s crazy!
God is definitely moving! I know your first year will go amazing, especially as you continue to seek Gods kingdom first ❤️
@@daywithk 🙏🏾 Thanks girl! I appreciate that!
Why are u speaking my entire life right now!?! Thank you for this video 🤍🙏🏽
Thanks for watching !
Thank you 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Came across your video so encouraging..My testimony is similar when God called my family to homeschooling this year, I didn't know how we were going to do it because I'm from a generation of public schooling, but I just walked out on faith, it's been 7 months since my husband I been homeschooling our 2 children and it's been a blessing to our family we love it, also I'm a Wife/ homeschooling Mother and I stay at home Full-time 💕🙌🏾🥰
Wow! That’s awesome 👏🏽👏🏽
I watched this video just after you posted it a couple months back and I was in a place where I felt led to stay home. I took notes on your words and the scripture. It has resonated with my heart so much. I reread these words frequently as I battled the decision. I felt like I was in spiritual warefare. I too feel like i would never have decided this to be my life. I had a goood career that i loved. Thank you for your obedience to his call and for sharing because He has used you to encourage me to take a step of faith. 🙌 praying for your continued success as a stay at home mom. For wisdom, strength and to put on the full armor or God. That he upholds you with his mighty right hand.
Side note, I did take the plunge. On day 8 of being a SAHM. I can't even begin to explain how God orchestrates and used much of what you said to confirm the exact thoughts on my heart and mind in this video. HE is good!
Wow ! Thank you soooo much for sharing! I’m so blessed to know God is using me to speak to others
Beautiful testimony. I am also desiring to be a SAHM and feel God tugging on my heart also when I go over the scripture in Titus and about modesty in 1 Timothy 🙏🙏. I'm on my journey as you were with this.
Me too, sis ❤️
Young Sis. Yassss. I am having this same struggle however I am closer to the end of my career. I’m hanging on cause I love helping others (I’m a social worker), but my health and another calling is yelling at me. Lol. Ultimately I’m fighting myself and God to continue to work full-time. But for what? To literally work myself to even greater sickness. Ummm I think not. Lol. So like you I need to remember Gods got me as I know He does. And I need to walk in faith on this like I encourage my clients to do. He has other work for me and is just waiting for me to get to it. Just like motherhood at home for you (which is the greatest full-time job) I have grands that I want to be present for and a community of women that I want and need to continue to encourage. Can’t do it if I keep fighting for something that’s not what God needs me to be doing right now. Thank you for being obedient, for sharing and for the encouragement. Enjoy your time with your hubby and littles. 🥳💜
Oh wow! Thank you 💛 I’m praying for the best for you! I know Gods got you in everything you do. Hope you enjoy this next season in life 😊
Even though I don't have kids, I work full-time and so like you, am mostly exhausted, don't feel like I have enough time to attend to all my homemaking duties, be a good wife etc. It's hard working on top of everything else we have going on. I pray God enables me and my husband to also have me become a SAHW and mum in future. I'm going to watch those 2 videos you mentioned, as I feel the calling also.
Thank you for this. I’m currently a HS ELA teacher in a Christian school. I have three kids. It’s been tough! I’ve gone back and forth a hundred times about whether I should return next year. Love my work but don’t love how consuming it is. I can use prayer 😅
Omgsh!!! I listened to those same videos by Allen Part and Ruslan. Felt that same conviction. Also, earlier today, I was reading up on the “keepers at home” passage. Your video is definitely convicting. “Don’t expect God’s will to match up with yours.”
Absolutely 💛 I’m glad it’s helped you. Praying God will provide you with clear direction!
New sub here! I recently moved to Texas and have always been a stay at home mom since my son was born (he's four now.) I always had a calling to become a teacher and I'm (hopefully) going to start my internship this year as a middle school math teacher. I am sharing the same concerns that you did and I fear it would be worse with me since I literally have never been away from my son for more than an hour, lol! However I have to do the internship in order to get my certification, but, after I get fully certified, I definitely plan to quit so I can be back home with my family. I currently work for Outschool (although I don't have any classes up at this time), so I am hoping that my math cert will make me more marketable so that I can afford to stay home and still be there for my family. My mom always used to say to me "God didn't put anything on this earth that you can't handle," or so it goes.
Hey, thanks for subscribing! It’s a challenge to leave our babies for a little. But I hope it all works out for you and your family !! ❤️
How's it going now?! Sounds like you have a great plan.
I'm homeschooling with the Charlotte Mason method and highly recommend it!
This really blessed me I recently made the choice to stay home after my baby is born
It’s been a journey to get the privilege to be an active parent having had two losses and I just felt moved and called not to give up this opportunity to enjoy motherhood and be a steward of my family and home
Thanks for your obedience it really encourages me to commit to my decision
Thank you! Praying God keeps you in this new journey ❤️
I. LOVE . THIS!!!!
I work in the health care field and i have had the biggest pressure to quit my job. I had a baby a year ago and since then the mommy guilt has been killing me. I have been so stressed my body is responding to the stress. Your testimony was exactly what i needed to hear. I’m praying God shows me how to do it
❤️❤️❤️ Yes, it can be so difficult - that mom guilt. But I’m in agreement with your prayer! I know He will be faithful to answer you on what to do next, Abigail. I pray for peace of mind as you navigate whatever God is calling you to do!
@@daywithk i actually put in my resignation soon after this my last day is the 2nd
@@daywithk thank you for being such an inspiration and allowing God to use u❤️
@@abigailadonis2568 absolutely! I’m excited for you! God bless ❤️
Thank you. New sub ❤I just got married and I literally have one more class until I’m able to go to mortuary school to finish my bachelors. And I have just been convicted and it’s been on my heart. Please pray for me and just Gods provision.
❤❤❤
I quit work when my third was born. It was the best decision I have ever made.
Hello, I love all your videos! I’ve been seriously considering applying for this program and moving to Texas. Would you recommend me starting the modules before moving out to Texas, or would it be smoother to make the love first then start the program?
Make the move first**
Hey! Thank you!! 😊 I would recommend starting the modules first, at least that’s what I did because I knew the time frame in which I would be moving. But also, it made it easier for me to find a job once we came to Texas because I was already done completing the modules and exams.
❤❤
Hey I'm glad you went the best route for you, would you return once they are in grade school?
Yes, I hope return as soon as they’re all in school!
Omg hi we live in Hockley! Used to live in Katy lol. I also feel like God is calling me to stay home but we can’t afford it. Really struggling with what I can do to make it work.
Praying God gives you clear direction on what to do to be able to make that happen.
I know when my youngest was born- we weren’t able to because of finances. But eventually God made it happen in His timing. ❤️
It’s interesting that moms are socialized to feel guilty for working but men never do. I’m glad you are following what God called you to do. 🙏🏾
Please take care of yourself financially in case of divorce or if something happens to your husband. It’s a big financial risk to give up your career and income.
Thanks for watching. I wasn’t socialized to feel anyway, more so convicted that my priorities were out of order.
My family/home comes before my job/career. Unfortunately the world wants to encourage the opposite. But I’m choosing to follow Gods plan for my life.
That also, includes walking by faith not by fear of what could happen & NEVER entertaining the idea of divorce.
We’re breaking generational curses over here 😜
