I have been in it for a little over 2 years. It is intensive, educational, challenging, time consuming, and developmental. I would not suggest that moms of little children complete an intense program like this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #2b2b2b;\">I cannot focus on the long hours of studying, researching, writing, and going to class, and how it takes away from my family. I cannot go there because then I will not have the strength to make it through. I know that this is what is best for my family over all. I need a Master&#8217;s Degree in Theology to continue teaching, and to pursue anything else I want to do in the Church. It is a requirement. It is also life giving. This education has helped me to grow spiritually and will help my family financially because my pay scale will be higher when I have completed it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #2b2b2b;\">I pray that the hours it took for me to earn this degree will set an example of the importance of education, faith, and personal growth for my children. I have not in any way deserted my family but I do not spend the time I would like with them. Although I NEVER miss a single night talking and praying with each one of them, not 1 night! They know I am here even when I am immersed in this educational process. I cannot stop and contemplate the impact it is having on my family if I want to finish it. I must look forward, straight ahead, knowing that God will give me the energy, love, and strength to be all that I can be for my family during this time. Because this too shall pass.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This too shall pass&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":14641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[146,122,91],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14637"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
