I am officially not in the office at a regular job anymore. After turning in my two weeks notice, I had a mixture of emotions. I was filled with anger, a touch of sadness, but mostly fear of change. I was comfortable there, even though I was dreading going to work every day. When I woke this morning I suddenly became grateful for my situation. I am feeling a little swing in my step again. I feel a new sense of strength that was not previously there. There is always a postive to everything in life. Sometimes its not always easy to spot it.
For the last five years, I have raised two small children, worked as an office assistant in a very fast paced environment, stayed up very late to get all the housework and laundry caught up, and took care of the groceries, doctors appts ect. and all the things that come with raising a five year old and a two year old. All this and absolutely zero sick days. I felt like I was constantly going with no time for me.
I went in for an interview on Friday and it went well. I told them exactly what a wanted (part time) and the days that I wanted. Then I began to worry that it might have detered me from getting the job. When I woke up today, I realized that I have so many choices. My husband makes good money at his work. We will have to pinch pennies a little to get by, but that is nothing new to us. So if the job calls, they call, and if they don't......... we will be okay also. I have to keep on trusting that God will place me right where he needs me. I have faith that all with be okay.
Tommorrow I get to be a chaperone for my daughters kindergarten field trip. I will be driving three of the children in my vehicle. We are going to a pumpkin patch in a town about 15 minutes away. The kids get to go on a hay ride, and each of the 25 students (yes, 25 of them....can you believe that?)will get to pick out their very own pumpkin to bring back to the school. They will be carving them on Thursday.
Have you ever sat and wondered "What does God want me to be doing?" "What direction am I supposed to be going in?" "Does He have a special path for me?" I have wondered that many times over this past weekend. I have come to the conclusion that where God wants me, is right where I am.

Have a great Monday.
Best Wishes to you for a great week.
You know what, when Roshane was little I worked for a lawyer in Manhattan, and he was one of the rudest people I have ever met. I was miserable, but my now husband was out of work at the time. In the end everything worked out for the best, and although I had to take a pay cut to get a job in a nicer work environment it did a tremendous difference in my and my family's life. It will all work out!
May you have many blessing this week too.
Hope you have a great week and less stress in your world too.
I was asked to take on a big workload of the office manager, and I was very excited at first...............until I found out I was going to be taking on all the extra work without a raise. I opted to say no to the position, and I was angry because I am worth more than that.
mine tell me it may be rough yet we willg et by because we have each other,, as do you and the kids
