Our lives have just been turned upside-down... again. We moved home from China, and landed in Seattle, WA (Renton area). This time, though, we're flip-flopping roles. So much was going to change, and it finally felt right for Karl to start up his business, while staying home with the children. It's my job, now, to get a job while the business is not yet standing. As an LDS woman with children in the home, this is a hard role to swallow, but I listened to a beautiful song that helped me feel at peace while heading up to an interview:
We Belong by Womanhood...Enjoy to the End!
A young mom of two small children;
A grandma kind and wise;
Another not yet married;
Of varied shape and size.
There are women with large families;
There are those living alone;
Some who must be in the workplace;
Some who work all day at home.
And though we differ in a million other ways,
We are the same when we remember what the Savior says.
For We Belong to something glorious and grand,
And we belong where righteous women take a stand.
Against the wrong, Spreading the light, Defending truth,Teaching what's right
In every land.
And we belong wrapped in a tapestry of lace
Fragile but strong,
Crocheted by wisdom and His grace.
So when we find our task complete
We have the hope that we will meet
And kneel to kiss the Savior's feet
And hear Him say:
"Here you Belong"
We're devoted to our Savior
Seek the spirit as we should.
We strengthen homes and families
And find joy in womanhood.
We delight in serving others.
Life-long learning is our goal.
As we stand for truth ___ sustain the priesthood from above
Temple blessings we rejoice and come to see
That as we strive for exaltation as our destiny
To know that we belong to something glorious and grand
And we belong where righteous women take a stand
Against the wrong, Spreading the light, Defending truth, Teaching what's right
In every land
And we belong wrapped in a tapestry of lace.
Fragile, but strong
Crocheted by wisdom and His grace.
So when we find our task complete,
We have the hope that we will meet
And kneel to kiss the Savior's feet and hear him say:
"Here you Belong"
Sometimes we stumble or we fall
And feel we don't fit in at all
But love can bridge an ocean-wide
And there are millions on your side
To tell you "You Belong" to something glorious and grand.
And you belong where righteous women take a stand
Against the wrong. Spreading the light, Defending truth, teaching what's right
In every land.
And you belong, wrapped in a tapestry of lace
Fragile, but strong,
Crocheted by wisdom and His grace.
So when you find your task complete
Cling to the hope that you will meet,
And kneel to kiss the Savior's feet and hear him say:
"Here you Belong"
____
"You Belong"
One in faith, One in Christ
"We Belong"
