I'm just a stay-at-home mother

Hey don't sell yourself short there. We need more women like you in this country.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.

Yes, I am a stay at home mom too! I had to work when my daughter was young (I at least got the first three years in, but then it was work or don't eat) but when I met David, he wanted me to be able to stay at home with our children. My husband has done everything possible to allow me to be at home with first my daughter, and now my son. He works impossible hours just so I can stay with them. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity, and humbled that a man would do that for me and our children.

It was only because of David that I could quit my job teaching and become a full-time mother for my daughter in her teen years, and later my little son. It made all the difference in my daughter's life for me to be there during her adolescent years, and now she is a young woman ready to serve her country as well (Air Force, ship out date July 8). I praise God for a man like my husband, who allowed me to be with my children. And now my service to my daughter has become service to my country. Never underestimate the jobs we women do, even as mom. You too, are changing the world!

God bless Shawna's mother, she is caring for her little granddaughter beautifully I can tell. I pray that all these brave POWs will be reunited with their families.

I am going to put the names in front of me and pray for them every night by name. I hope you all will join me in these prayers for our troops.
