Changes After All

A full time job or not.  Changes did come about not in the way a full time job would have brought about but in a smaller, more meaningful and lasting way.  It brought the attention to one of my desires that has stirred around in me for a while now.  A desire that frustrates me at times, and warms my heart with happiness at the same time too.

FAMILY

Being available.

for the quick little moments and opportunities to be with my husband during the day, for lunch or run an errand for him or to talk

Being available.  

for the kids after school, the homework, the opportunities for intimate conversations, the frustrating moments to learn and grow from.

Being available.

to go pick the kids up from school if they are sick, to stay home and care for them when they are sick, to go watch their games, or plays or presentations at school

Being available.

to have the energy to cook a good meal for my family, to have time to care for my needs (bible study, the gym, my writing time) all of which help me became the person needed for them

Being available while the kids are at home.  Being available to my family during this season of our lives will not last forever.  

 

Back to the "job" thing don't get me wrong I'm not totally opposed to a job, but a part time one.  I know that God will place the right opportunity in my path for things to work out according to his plan.  God will be there to pull us through all the details of our lives and that is enough for me.  Not knowing the hows and whats are alright.  Being open to Him is all I need to be for my family.
