Now I am a SAHM with a wonderful husband and kids. My job in my twenties did not hurt me at all--it was just a season of life. Working at a job is wonderful. Being at home for my kids and hubby is wonderful too. The Lord has blessed both these paths for me. I worked when I was in my twenties, and had a wonderful time!

This is renewing our minds in Christ. Jesus is not asking us to lay down our dreams, but to fulfill them in Him and in the calling He has given us. This is a wonderful reminder that silences the world's critics. Thank you so much for taking the time out to share your heart. That was a good reminder of another perspective.

There is <b>so much</b> wisdom in what you've written. Your question, "What does the Lord have to say about your dreams?" is so important not only for daughters, but for wives as well. I love the way you've expressed the importance of following God and trusting in His promises! We need to make sure our priorities line up with what God wants for our lives, regardless of our marital status or where we are in our lives. Many blessings, Luci http://atranquilheart.blogspot.com What a fabulous article, Jasmine! There is so much wisdom in what you’ve written.

I felt like I was reading my own thoughts those first few paragraphs. God always finds a way to get you to where he wants you to be in your life. I've spent the last five years making decisions against what I felt was right for me. I had a daughter half-way through college and continued on until I finished my degree because of how ashamed my parents would be if I didn't complete it. I got a job working in journalism within a month after graduation because I listened to a lie within the single mom sphere that told me I could do it alone without a husband -- and, quite frankly, I should never even THINK about finding a husband since wanting a nuclear family apparently makes me look desperate. I was also on the verge of applying to grad school so I could be rewarded with an even better career that paid more! But God's message was loud and clear to me when I quit my job. He gave me the opportunity to be at home, and I now realize how much of a blessing it is. We (my daughter and me) are exponentially happier now that I'm a stay-at-home mom, and I'm very thankful that I finally stopped and heard God's message for my life :) Great article!

I think the twenties are a season of life when we go trough what I call "Husband and baby fever" Will are growing up and outgrowing our child dream of becoming this and that to face the reality that we want to love and be loved. Growing up I wanted to be a lots of thing, went to university, finished 2 degrees went to work to finally at 25 realize that I wanted to be married and have children and be home. The lord brought a husband to me at 27 and by the time I was 28 I was carrying our first born and now at 31 have 3 beautiful daughters and a loving husband that I delight knowing him better each day! Those years that I was single and waiting were hard but also a blessed time where I was able to study the word and do all things that now I'm no longer able to due to responsibilities that I have! I pray that the Lord brings you a husband and children :-) Much love Renee Beautiful and dream and desire.
