Oh goody.......I really need to learn though.......
I find this had at times too. I have to refrain from being too attached to future dinners. Sometimes it is hard; I definitely was made to nurture. Seems like as long as I have something to take care of, be it animals or humans, then I feel fulfilled. Funny isn't it, how sometimes we push and push against where God is trying to lead us, and then when we finally let go and let His will be done then we are finally happy? I worked outside our home for several years and was always miserable. I was upset when I lost my job in '08 due to layoffs. Scared and desperately wanting another job. Well, one did not present itself no matter how hard I tried, and I finally gave in. I have never been happier than taking care of my husband, children, and our home and animals. Which is what God intended. We are all truly blessed to be His children.I'm a nurse...I know all about saving things, doctoring things, trying to make others well...so the inclination for women to nurture people and animals is natural. God really didn't design us to kill or for death at all, but things changed at the beginning and here we are, having to adapt to that change. Learning to adapt is just about the key to all kinds of living and those who refuse to adapt or can't learn to adapt are usually those who just can't hack this thing we call life and living. You'll see that in all areas of their life..interactions with others, inability to remain calm in stressful situations, and a general feeling of being overwhelmed by life.
Developing coping mechanisms to help in adapting will help you, not only in how you deal with animals, but how you approach life as well. To succeed with animals, their raising and care, it takes a certain calm and assertive manner that the animals respond to and lets you make good decisions for their lives, not based on emotion but on practical knowledge based on reality, instead of how we imagine or perceive the animal.
Practice makes perfect on such things and there must always be a starting point before practice can begin. You'll see..you won't feel any of that ickiness or stress when I show you how it's done and how one can remain calm in the face of a dirty job like killing another creature. Just got to get your mind in the center..the center of all things, Jesus Christ. Once you have that, everything else is easy.
I would have given my left arm to get a chance to stay home with my kids, but He had other ideas and I fought that like a tiger too. I went back to school twice to learn something I could do from my home and still support my kids...didn't work each time. Finally, He opened my eyes to the fact that I had prayed a prayer but had not actually committed my life, so once I did that things got exponentially easier. I was born again into a new person who wanted what He wanted for me more than what I wanted for me and life just opened up and got skids on it. When I stopped fighting because I thought I knew what was best for me, I finally got what was best for me and I've been happy and at peace ever since!
I still wish I could have stayed home to be a mother..and even to have been a wife of a good man, but that wasn't in the plan for me and I've found out why now, so I'm not yearning or wasting time on regrets about it all. I see now it was better that I was a nurse than a wife, though I strongly feel a mother should be at home. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of people touched with love and compassion because I didn't get to stay home where I desperately wanted to be and that is good also. He knows exactly what is best for each of us.
But see? I wouldn't have done that at all if He hadn't designed my life to that end...if it had been up to me I'd be doing just what you are doing and loving every day of it. You are doing the hardest,most fulfilling job on Earth and it takes skill, intelligence, and dedication to do it right. You've probably found out by now that, when done right, it can save a family money, better socialization of the children, better communication between husband and wife, and create a better environment in the home and that's the goal, when it's all said and done. There is no more noble job on this Earth than being a mother!
