036 | Feeling Called to Stay Home But Worried About Finances? Here’s TEN Ways For Mamas to Make Money From Home in 2022
Some of the most frequent conversations and frequently asked prayer requests in my DMs and messages are from mamas who are feeling called to stay home with their kids but are worried about leaving their job and their income on the line, and I get it! I’ve been there too. It’s scary becoming a one income family and it can feel like one giant trust-fall with Jesus. But I believe that being called to your home does not mean you have to forfeit bringing in income for your family. God created you and I as women with a unique resourcefulness and creativity and if you allow it, stepping into the role of homemaker and mother full time can actually be an amazing opportunity to let those God-given giftings shine. So today is for you - mama who feels the call but is scared to step into the unknown. I want to give you some encouragement and also give you 10 examples of ways to make money right from your home.
