In a letter today on the Point of Grace website, singer Heather Payne announces that she’s leaving the group. (In the photo, Heather is in the back.)
Citing the overwhelming pressure to juggle the roles of “super-wife, super-mommy and super-singer,” Payne admits feeling like she’s not being successful in any of them and needs to focus on her family.
She says that over the past year she’s been focusing on Deuteronomy 6:4-9, which says, in part:

“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” (vv. 6-9).

She says that every time she prayed about what to do, “this passage in Deuteronomy kept coming to mind. Every time I got to the part about teaching our children ‘diligently’ and at all times, I started feeling uncomfortable. I haven’t been diligently teaching my children, I have been getting by.”
I think every working mom can relate. Good for her for seeking God’s counsel for her life and her family’s well being, and for being obedient to His answer. It’s not easy to walk away from a successful career, but if it’s what God is calling her to do, He’ll bless her decision.
