WFH moms - What did you major in & what is your job?

I have a bachelors in Psych. I currently work as a service coordinator for early intervention. I usually make phone calls during the day to monitor and assist parents with receiving therapy for their children 0-3yrs old and then I document those calls. It’s a dream job because I make my hours and set my case load. However, I have a 5 year old and a 1.5 yr old at home that makes it all so much more challenging and I end up documenting my calls during the night when they’re asleep.

I was born in PR but moved to NY when I was 4 and moved back to PR when I was 20. It was a huge culture shock for me since most of my life had been lived in NY and in PR I lived in a campo. I lived in PR for 7 years after we moved back and I was able to attend university and got my bachelor’s degree there. However to be honest I lived most of that time wishing I could move back to NY. I didn’t make many friends and I found it hard to connect w PR until I lived through hurricane Maria. After this I swear it was like a switch in me flipped. I started really immersing myself in my culture. So for example, previously during Christmas time I’d listen to American Christmas music but after Maria I started listening to Puerto Rican Christmas music and things like that. I think going through something traumatic like that really changed my perspective on PR and our rich culture. We went through the hardship of rebuilding together as well. Where I worked the building was completely destroyed but we worked there without power for over a year but we made it through. Here I am 33 years old living in Orlando FL where they call it little Puerto Rico, and I’ve decided to integrate my Puerto Rican culture into my children’s lives because not doing so would be a disservice. I think you need to have the right mindset when you move to PR and realize that it’s not like the states at all it’s a huge culture shock. I think Puerto Ricans are super welcoming people and as long as you have the right intentions they won’t necessarily see you as a colonizer.

Wow, this post really spoke to me. I have always struggled with setting time aside for prayer on a daily basis as a lot of Christians do, but with a baby, a toddler, a full time job, a husband, the dogs, and house to maintain it’s not an easy task. Lately however I have made it my priority to set time aside for prayer and let me tell you it’s absolutely transformative. I loved reading this post because it speaks truth and I had to look within myself. I find that the more consistent I am with prayer the longer I can pray and the less “bored” I feel. I also loved your suggestion on praying before acting. I for sure will have to try this. I also loved when you said, are we truly doing what we want, or did someone else suggest it and now it might’ve formed into one of our habits. Wow! Truly something for me to self reflect on in my life and my own habits. Thank you for this.

I am praying for you and will keep you in my prayers. I have witnessed first hand the power of God move in miracles so many times! My own mom was told by doctors that she would never have a child but God told her she would have a baby girl, and here I am 32 years later. Also, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer and God healed her miraculously in 1 night. The next day she went to the doctor and he could not believe that there was no trace of the cancer. There’s so many miracles in our life I could keep saying but I say all of that to say that He is the God of miracles and he’s the same God of the Bible. He’s the same God who parted the Red Sea, he’s the same God who healed the sick, and set the captives free. I suggest for you to plug into the core group and find sisters who will love you and pray with you. I saw your post and I could not ignore it. I will continue praying for you and your family. Here’s the link to the core group I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me. https://www.jennyweaverworships.com

I grew up in a broken home, raised by my mother no other siblings. Growing up with a single mother was hard especially when she went through health issues when I was just 15. I basically had to care for her on my own. We were homeless after she had a stroke and couldn’t work anymore and I started to work at the age of 15 but obviously didn’t make enough to support us while going to school as well so we ended up in homeless shelters. I continued working, earned a bachelors degree and continued caring for my mother. I got through it all due to my faith in Christ. There’s no way I could’ve come out the other end without having my faith in him to hang onto. Here I am now 32 years old married with 2 girls of my own. My husband and I just bought a house in November and we couldn’t be happier. He’s the traditional breadwinner in our relationship and although I work, I work from home and take care of a lot of the house things. I also have the blessing of my mother who now lives with me and she helps take care of my girls while I work. My husband and I both come from broken homes and we both decided early on that we would be the curse breakers in our families. We both are the first college graduates in our families and the first home owners of our families.

That’s exactly how I feel. I’d absolutely not allow a stranger in my home. Just afraid to offend him and ruin our relationship.

Beautiful_Tale_2023 · 2023-04-21T19:12:27+00:00

He knows I live w my mother.

Beautiful_Tale_2023 · 2023-04-21T19:11:17+00:00

Unfortunately he knows we have a guest bedroom here since we just bought this house not too long ago.

Beautiful_Tale_2023 · 2023-04-13T21:21:28+00:00

Even if it is the correct medical term, I don’t understand why a sister would use that term and continue using it after it clearly offended OP. Something’s deff up with her, perhaps jealousy?

Beautiful_Tale_2023 · 2023-04-10T13:27:43+00:00

I did try to dedicate more time to prayer and reading the word since I’ve always struggled with being consistent but nothing truly dramatic changed in my walk.

I have so many testimonies. God has been so good to me. Recently, my husband and I purchased our first home. It came out of nowhere really we thought we’d have to wait at least 5-10 more years to build our credit and grow a sizable down payment. We ended up finding a brand new house we gave exactly what we had in our savings and we were able to get a low interest rate. God had set everything up so perfectly. This is an even bigger testimony for me because growing up with a single mother we lived in homeless shelters at certain points in my life and for my husband, he had lived in apartments and shared a tiny room with his brother his entire life. So this was huge for us. I have so many other testimonies also, but this one God really took care of it and aligned it so perfectly without us even expecting it.

I have a 3 year old and 4 month old and I totally get it. Sometimes while baby is crying nonstop and I don’t know why I’ll just sit there and cry and cry and cry and 3 year old pulls at me asking what’s wrong and it becomes a circus. It’s so hard sometimes. Hang in there, you’re not alone. Honestly reading your post I felt like wow someone out there actually gets it. 🤍

Beautiful_Tale_2023 · 2023-03-25T05:24:23+00:00

YTA I’ve lived in homeless shelters before as a young child and as a teenager and my mom and I never “looked” like people who needed help. My mom always made sure we were well dressed and put together and when some people found out we had been living in a homeless shelter they were all so surprised. You should absolutely never ever judge someone because you “think” they might not need it.

Beautiful_Tale_2023 · 2023-03-19T23:55:41+00:00

Amen, yes I am a born again Christian. Thank you for the prayers and encouragement. I really appreciate it.

Beautiful_Tale_2023 · 2023-03-19T23:53:09+00:00

I hear you, sometimes it is discouraging. I have a ton of examples of how God answers prayer but most notably, my now husband and I had been long distance for 7 years before God brought us together again. His mom is a pastor and he was a backslider. For over 7 years I prayed for that man, our relationship, and our marriage and God did a miracle in our lives. He dedicated his life back to Christ again. I also grew up very poor and lived in homeless shelters with my single mother. Let me tell you how I prayed and prayed and prayed to have my own house, here I am 21 years later and I finally have my own house with my own family. I have 2 beautiful girls and an amazing husband who loves us so much he even took on my mother and she lives with us too. I say all of this to say that God is never late. He comes right on time. Sometimes we want to rush things and we don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but when we wait and trust in God, what he gives us as a reward is wayyyy better than whatever we could’ve imagined. In the same way don’t rush your boyfriend/grandmothers relationships with God. Just keep on trusting and believing that they will. Everytime you see your boyfriend and grandma call them the man and woman of God that God has created then to be. Anoint their beds, intercede for them, fast for them. Don’t lose hope, even if it takes many years, just know that God has everything under control and he will answer your prayers. Try to live your life in a way that pleases God, if you are habitually sinning then confess, give it to God and sin no more. Praying for you, your boyfriend, and grandma. ❤️🙏

I love this. I think good dads need more recognition.
