I have to share that I have heard God and I believe it is due to many things but I attribute it mostly to my CRHP weekend and my CRHP sisters that were praying for me even before I met some of them.
During the weekend I felt the need to ask God if he wants me to be working or staying home with my kids. I kept questionning if I should stay home, but just wasn't sure. I always said if I could find a family friendly place to work things would be great.
Well, I currently have that place so I really shouldn't be complaining. I am able to do whatever I need to, to take care of my family and that includes my mother.
So, when I was at my meeting last night and they announced the date for our giving weekend I realized it is the same weekend that I'm supposed to leave town for a conference. I am volunteering for this conference and I will be gone for nearly a week. I should explain that the giving weekend is when my current group will give the same weekend that I just went through to another group.

My first immediate thought was: "I'm not missing the giving weekend and there's no way I can jump on a plane right afterwards." There was no question there, but then I thought "What do I do about my conference?"
When I was driving home I realized he was telling me right there where my focus in my life needs to be. Not necessarily that I need to quit work but my extra curricular activites need to be for and with church and not flying off to attend another conference.
I come to this realization for a couple of reasons. One is that my middle daughter has been telling me "You're so busy." She's said this on a couple of occasions and it really hit me. The other is that I was supposed to fly out to a conference last week and had to cancel at the last minute to take care of my mother. Doing this brought me back 2 days earlier than I would have had I gone to Nashville.
I think Mother needed my help at just the right time so I wouldn't be away from my girls for so long, to come home late that Friday and then leave again early Sat and not return until late Sunday for my CRHP weekend.
I just had to share my joy in getting this answer! Praise God!!
