Serving..as a Mom

I've been wanting to find a way to serve at church or in our community and since the girls are getting a little bit older thought surely I could find a way to fit it in. Tithing, donating stuff,etc. are great ways to give but I really feel led to be hands on, to get involved and hopefully give more time as the girls get older. So, I tried the financial ministry at church, maybe helping with budget counseling, well, that's every Tuesday night. Committing to every week is too hard with Jason's schedule and evenings are pretty chaotic. Cross that off. Tried our food pantry at Church who has a need for someone to coordinate services for clients, the only day I could do is Saturday. Weekends are our sacred family time and I don't think giving up most of those is the right thing or what God has in mind for me now...or does He? I can still serve with the kids on the weekends and maybe that's what I'll end up doing and I know we'll keep looking for opportunities to serve as a family as the girls get older but maybe right now my only place is serving my husband and my girls. Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it"
