"Glorified Housewife"

It was not too long ago that I came back from doing mission work in Canada (before N. Dakota) and was talking with someone about my experience. They told me I had gone up there to just be a "glorified housewife", the comparison being - I was "unpaid" and doing laundry, cooking, ect. They didn't understand. For a long time this comment didn't sit right with me. How do you explain to someone that you are doing what God is asking you to do, even if it is "just laundry". No, I don't have a college education or a super high paying job and I don't drive a fancy car but I do find happiness and joy in where God is taking me.
Regardless, the comment has always been in the back of my mind. Especially now that I am a nanny, and was highlighted when I called to try and get a loan for a car and the woman said, "well you are JUST a nanny". Well just the other day it all came together for me.
 I am called, by God, to be a Glorified Housewife, a housewife for the GLORY of God. 

Every moment of my life has been leading me to my calling. From my parents way of raising me (even though I hated it while it was happening, not understanding why I had so many rules) to every other aspect in my life. Always being drawn to Our Lady, the ultimate "housewife" and mother. Mission work, learning to make things last, being organize and making do with what you are given. Culinary school, being able to cook and the always love that I have had for preparing meals. The list goes on and on...
So this comment, though not meant in a good way at the time, has made it's beautiful full circle. Realizing that it truly is my calling to be a Glorified Housewife.
