My Little Women and Men at Home

Mar. 16, 2006

One More Month

Posted in General

I finally did it!  I called my boss last night and gave him my notice.  For those who don't know me, I've been working for the same fellow for almost 11years.  After my first child was born, I have gradually lowered the amount of hours I work.  I am now down to working just Saturdays.

It has been my desire for some time to be a full time stay-at-home mom, but because of financial stuff, we just didn't feel ready.

Well, now is the time! We've made some adjustments to our financial output and we feel that we should be able to do it.  It might be tough, but we know that God will provide in our need.  This has been a hard decision for me.  I have been struggling with faith that God will keep us okay. "Lord, I believe; Help thou mine unbelief." Mark 9:24

 But my wonderful hubby told me on Sunday to go ahead and give my notice...so after much procrastinating it is done.  All I have to do now is tell my manager when I go in on Saturday. 

I have been feeling so unhappy at work that I knew this was the right thing.  I haven't felt like I've been able to do my calling as a wife and mother to the best of my abilities.  Even that one day, threw my spirit off.  God has convicted me of many changes needed in my life, and this is just one.  I think by taking this step, I will be able to give my full attention to my hubby and children.  I believe too that the homeschooling will go much smoother if I am not split in my duties.  I feel a great weight lifted from my back.

 

So, one month to go...April 8th is the last day!

Mar. 22, 2006 - Kindred Spirits

Posted by KAlexaLott
When I found your blog today I felt as if I had found a long lost friend, a kindred spirit, yet someone I have never met before. I too have two "Little Women" at home, they are 12 and 6.

I have been on disability for some pretty severe post-partum depression following the birth of my second daughter. But now since I no longer qualify (Praise the Lord), my family is struggling with how to replace that income. Neither my husband or myself want for me to go back to work. I know EXACTLY what you mean about even one day away from home making it hard for you.

I will pray for you and for your family and for God's provision and I would like to ask if you would pray for ours as well. I don't know where the money is going to come from, but I know God will provide, all I hear Him saying is "Trust me".

If you have time, please visit my blog http://homeschoolblogger.com/KAlexaLott.

Blessings!

This is my place to come and chat about God, my family, my life, and my homeschool endeavors. I am happily married, with two beautiful "Little Women" and a new "Little Man". We've been homeschooling for a year and are using a Classical Christian perspective and some of Charlotte Mason's principles as well.

Homeschooling classically can be different! It can be less hurried in the younger years! It can be Christian and focused on His word!
