"Don't waste that guilt. Pay attention to it. Use it. Take it out of the shadows and examine it in light of Scripture. Is this a godly grief that leads to repentance or a worldly grief that produces death (2 Cor. 7:10)?"After examining Scripture, and comparing that with our heart motives (especially in the context of community), we must remember that children should be the primary ministry investment for a young mother. A mother adds what no one else can. Serving her family is her calling from God.
Of course, this doesn't mean that a young mom cannot or should not invest in others outside her family. But the caution is to make sure that she "doesn't let anything diminish [her] unique role as a wife and mother."
