I'd rather be with Jonathan more than I am now...home for him when he needs to me. To be able to spend extra time with him, while also doing some photography, which I love. I went to school for journalism, I did the reporter thing. I've covered murder trials, ex-president visits, blah-blah-blah. Sure, there is so much more I could do, but I feel like I got a taste of that and it was cool, but now I want to be a mom with a photography business on the side.<br />Financially, we just can't do it, but maybe..maybe I need to find a way to trust God and do it. I don't feel I should leave my regular part time job just yet so I hope I recognize the sign when I see it!Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718910811955685431.post-10981922348385139312010-12-08T21:41:35.706-06:002010-12-08T21:41:35.706-06:00I'm telling ya, sister, I understand! yep, tru...I'm telling ya, sister, I understand! yep, truly and verily. i am much older than you, so of course, you know i will say what all 'olders' say - enjoy those kids. however, i am not so far gone (ok, i am, but am kin to peter pan) that i don't remember those exact same feelings that you are/were experiencing. It's okay. Normal. you are not alone (and i am tired so this is randomly typed and might not make total sense... eeek). anyhoo, just know that you are normal and that it is a blessing that you hear God, the maker of heaven and earth, the God of all, speak to you, and that your heart, tho pulled in two directions, wants to obey and honor Him. And.... it is NOT selfish to have desires. We have them as humans... but God... He quite often has other plans for us, and since He does know best, we bow we do to His will... (with His help). Oh, I just read the rest of your post (I am such a jump-the-gun-ner!) - and.. Praise God for a new job and a husband who listens and supports you... such a big, fat, great, wonderful thing!!!! (that alone makes me soooo very happy for you) praying that the God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills sells a few and provides abundantly for your fam. whew... think i'm done. :)an encouragerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901872603465017271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718910811955685431.post-68855336381107350502010-12-07T05:43:51.595-06:002010-12-07T05:43:51.595-06:00Hugs to you both!

At least one parent needs to be at home, rested and ready for the family to come home at the end of the day and be able to find a safe place there, so that not everyone is tired and frazzled and going at eachother. I've never forgotten that. <br />Now I'm taking care of little Jaylon and when I sometimes get to feeling like I could be doing something for myself or, good heavens, something more important...hello....I quiet myself and remember what a privilege it is to be raising my little grandson, providing him with love and security in a godly home. AND I have him all to myself! :-) <br />There is NOTHING more important than what you are doing right now, Mrs. NB. Nothing! His word says so! That settles it, hm? :-) ((HUGS))Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645857042542944175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718910811955685431.post-56265156071846262522010-12-05T22:37:02.116-06:002010-12-05T22:37:02.116-06:00You are a wonderful, obedient woman and servant of...You are a wonderful, obedient woman and servant of God. You and your family will be so blessed because you chose to follow where God leads instead of your own plans.

You are a rock, even though at times you feel crushed to pebbles. <br /><br />I struggle when I think about all I am missing at home while I am supporting the family. Having a spouse in school is definitely harder when you add children and life. On the flip side a career and life change was needed. He has a desire to fulfill. <br /><br />I think I have an ulcer, but I'll deal with it for another 1 1/2. We should have a big party when they are done. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Luvs<br /><br />SuzSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019852658161642415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718910811955685431.post-38883976701359556742010-12-02T21:43:47.291-06:002010-12-02T21:43:47.291-06:00It is amazing when you are in His perfect will for...It is amazing when you are in His perfect will for your life...doubt just goes out the window. You are an excellent mom and wife and you are doing what God has called you to do which is be there for your family. Us moms have to be that glue that keeps it all together. Work will come soon enough. I was feeling the same way, but I don't know if I could handle a real job with as busy as life has been since they all started school full time. I wish I were contributing monetarily, but I am contributing so much more by being at home. <br />Hang in there...<br />Hugs,<br />MimiHe & Me + 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03692972824923390203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718910811955685431.post-16085824286195090122010-12-02T14:02:25.864-06:002010-12-02T14:02:25.864-06:00Girl, you inspire me with how you processed all th...Girl, you inspire me with how you processed all this and finally came to your conclusion.

And being laid off put you exactly where God wanted you this year.<br /><br />And even THAT is part of the bigger picture too. Even when we don't feel like that's where we want to be.<br /><br />I can empathize from a different point of view - and am praying for both of us as God works out those things in our lives :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112453369738198010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718910811955685431.post-26890057495254656622010-12-02T07:17:49.445-06:002010-12-02T07:17:49.445-06:00I'm sorry for all the turmoil you seem to be g...I'm sorry for all the turmoil you seem to be going through/feeling.

I have been on my heart many times this past month and I have longed to call you for a lunch date, or a good long visit while trying on hats at Target, or even an afternoon watching a chick flick. I know the feelings you describe oh so well and feel for you deeply. A friend of mine read me a beautiful quote today about how deeply and personally we are loved by a wise Heavenly Father who knows each and every ache in our hearts. You are a beautiful example of this for me. I love how you turn to Him for guidance. <br /><br />You two have such a strong, wonderful relationship. And I love when you share your thoughts, even if I can't be there to bring the pity party balloons, it makes me feel like I'm not the only one with a party going on. <br /><br />Jacob is in Kansas City, MO. I don't know how close that is to you. But, that boy gives some powerful hugs. <br /><br />Another big hug to you and those lucky family members you pour so much into. <br /><br />SusanBoy Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988991342641590147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718910811955685431.post-18572396252831864012010-12-01T22:47:09.768-06:002010-12-01T22:47:09.768-06:00I'm sorry you were laid off and have been stru...I'm sorry you were laid off and have been struggling with all this.
