Wow, were do I start!

I guess I'll just start with the bombshell.  I'm going back to work.  Well, let me rephrase that.  I'm going back to work outside my home.  I don't even know if that's the right wording to use either.  Anyway, I am going to work for an hourly wage away from my babies. 

It's amazing how it has all happened.  I'll be working for the same company I first worked for out of college and went back to work for after Kids Across America.  If anybody would have told me in 2002 that I would come back and work for the company six years later I wouldn't have believed them.

Though things are not totally the same, it's nice to go back and work in an area I use to manage.  I guess in my mind there will be less of a learning curve. 

Of course my husband, children and my home are still my priority.  I'll be working part-time to help pay off some debt and hopefully help my hubby finish school.  He's only doing the small group class this semester and I can see how disappointed he is.  He hasn't even withdrawn from his other classes yet.  Honestly, I think this is one of the major reasons I decided I could handle a part time job.

See, I have watched him work himself ragged providing for our family and going to school.  One day I just realized I could be "helping" him out a little more.   I just did not know how or when but in  the last few weeks things have just fallen into place.  I didn't even go looking for a job.  I just went shopping with my mom a few times and it happened. 

My prayer is that I don't loose focus of what our goal is.  Being home these past few years has really challenged us to be better stewards of the things God has given us.  It has also taught us to depend on God more.  I pray that none of that changes. 

I use to have a boss that said we as Christians needed to petition God and wait on him to work things out instead of using our credit cards to work things out.  Now when the car breaks down and we don't have the money to get it fixed we just keep praying about it.  And boy have I seen him do some miraculous stuff. 

I can remember when I was about to have Coleman that neither car worked.  LaCarlton was so frustrated and worried that something would happen and I wouldn't be able to get to the hospital when I needed to.  My eyes are filling up with tears just remembering how good God was during this time.  One day one of our parents would let us use there car, the next day another might take LaCarlton to work, the next day his sister would let us use her car and so on.  Daily, it was hard not knowing how it was going to work out but God took care of all of our needs and more. 

I pray that we just need to continue to trust Him ALONE.

O.K. I went a little more in depth than I thought I would.  I'll catch up on the other stuff soon.
