I have always wanted to make sure that I get and stay involved with people outside my little circle (not that my circle is very big mind you). I miss having a small group of Christian women to talk to and to learn from. I also want Jade to understand that it is an important to get connected and have some fun with others. Tonight I went to a Women's Fall Ministry Kick Off at my church fully intending to feel the push or pull of my heart to one of the many opportunities to get involved.
My dilemma is this. I would really love to be in a mom's group. But, of course, all the mom's groups meet during the day because most of them are stay-at-home moms. I, on the other hand, am a working-during-the-day mom who has evenings and most weekends free. It's been a real challenge with any group that I have been involved in-not just with my church. It seems play dates and kids outings are reserved for the daytime hours. I try really hard not to get upset or worried about this fact but it does leave me feeling a little on my own when it comes to all of this. I can't be the only working mom out there.
There are other opportunities. However, it would mean leaving Jade at home and going to do them. I find myself feeling very selfish about my time and wanting to spend as much of it with Jade, not without her.
I am sure there is something that I can do. I guess it might just take a little thinking, some waiting, and a bit of prayer.
