For those whose family depends on their sole income the time may come much later but God will provide the opportunity for them to use their talents. For me it took 25 years in a civil service job. I look happily forward to a (very) small pension check this spring but none the less, the chance to find my passion. It is both scary and exhilirating. I pray you find it, too.

Your timing on this post is interesting - after almost 14 years of being a SAHM, I just this week accepted a 20 hour position doing what I did in my "previous life" - taking a baby-step back into the professional world is thrilling and terrifying all at the same time! Isn't it a blessing for us to have these "choices", with the support of loving children and spouses.
