Christianity is wonderfully freeing. Christ calls us to find our life by losing it, to die with Him that we might rise with Him. It’s the opposite of worldly self-absorption, even if it is well-intentioned to find one’s purpose.

I am encouraged to read you finding greater peace in Him.

(In the meantime, find joy that home and husband and baby give you great purpose and creative opportunity.)

Like this quote, which expresses something I have myself experienced:

“I feel this deep pull that I am specifically meant to create this specific thing that the world needs. Until a day comes when that just feels like way too much pressure.”

But, wow, when I realized my family was something unique and brand new to the world, and I was shaping individual souls and nourishing their bodies — I think you are already doing just this creative work you are searching for, Molly.

Thank you for sharing! I’ll definitely be pondering this, as Im finding I get caught in a similar place with desiring to create but not exactly sure how or what or why

Yes! I used to feel like the answers to those questions were imperative and now I’m not so sure!
