Final Thoughts
Welcome
I hope you had a blessed Easter and
were able to truly celebrate that we serve a living,
risen Savior. Praise God!! The CWM community continues
to grow every day. I’m thanking God that he
is bringing sisters in Christ together from all over
the world. May God use everyone of us to be a shining
light where we work and in our homes.
Blog/Online Bible Study
Things have been a little quiet on the
CWM Blog. Lots of you read the CWM Blog, but few post.
Please take a risk and share with one another, so
we can encourage each other as well. I just posted
a question on the CWM Blog about Spring Break and
summer vacations. You can find the CWM Blog at http://christianworkingmoms.blogspot.com.
The Online Bible Study has several lessons posted.
I hope to add a new lesson soon. You can find the
Online Bible Study at http://cwmbiblestudy.blogspot.com.
You can start with any lesson and feel free to post
your answers, so we can learn from one another.

CWM Interview
I appreciate Emily being willing to
share with us this month. Emily is a 31 year old married
CWM who lives in the United States. She has a 3 year
old daughter and a brand new baby girl. Emily is a
probation officer.
Emily shares the following joys of being
a CWM: cherishing every minute I spend with my daughters,
being able to provide a private education for my oldest
daughter, and feeling that I am able to be a better,
more patient mother since I work during the day.
She struggles with: guilt about being
there to fully raise my daughters, seeing my daughter
cry and reach out for me when I leave her with her
nanny, and seeing sadness in her eyes when I leave.
Emily’s favorite Bible verse is
Psalm 62:5-7: “Find rest, O my soul, in God
alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock
and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be
shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he
is my mighty rock, my refuge.”
God is teaching Emily the following:
I wanted and still want to be a stay at home Mom,
however, certain financial circumstances have prevented
this. I believe God is trying to teach me to rely
on Him for he knows what is best for my family and
me. I know that God wants what is best for us. If
he wants me to stay at home, then I need to be patient
and it will happen.
Emily shares these encouraging words:
Love your family and love God. Always keep him in
your heart, he has an amazing way of helping you see
the light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks Emily for sharing. I love your
favorite Bible verse. In Christ alone all our needs
can be met. I hope you are getting some sleep these
days with a precious new gift from God.
Final Thoughts
Remember to play with your children.
We as Moms are so focused on what we have to get done
and forget to just goof off with our children. As
I write this the laundry is calling. I will try to
goof off as well today.
Till next time,
Kimberly M. Chastain
