My wife and I prayed very hard while she was on maternity leave after our baby was born about whether she should go back or stay at home. Financially it is tight, but on that aspect we could make it work. Her job has never been terribly satisfying and at times the nature of the work has caused spiritual misgivings.
Regardless, she is amazing at everything she does - so when we decided she should only go back for 2 weeks to give proper notice, her bosses offered her the moon and stars. Any schedule she wanted, option for part time, and all the exciting perks that she had felt left out on before she left.
We don't know what to do. Our baby comes first for both of us and we can't tell if this is God opening an unexpected door (opportunities for travel and enrichment, college savings, etc) or some kind of test/temptation. My wife is
in agony and is struggling with fears of being either selfish or unappreciative of an opportunity God has given us.
Please pray that God will reveal his will. We trust his timing but are desperate to know soon. My wife has sacrificed so many dreams and aspirations for our family that it breaks my heart to see her struggle with this one as well. She just wants to be a good responsible mother, not the kind that just wants to have it all. We've been so blessed in our lives with our precious baby, but would very much appreciate your prayers today. Thank you!
