changes....


so if you follow this at all, you will know that i've talked a lot recently about my family experiencing change. today the journey began....


hubby quit his job, effective august 1. like as in 2 weeks! wowzers huh!! now most of you are probably assuming i'm going to follow this with what the new job is, but well, there isn't one! funny....i'm sure some people think this is absolutely crazy. we think it is absolutely right. and from those we've talked with they agree. there is a sense of fear and worry, i mean, i work and make a little, but we kinda need more than that. but the call to obey is far greater. and the joy and peace in that obedience is even greater.


i don't know what the next several months will look like. different than what i expected a few months ago for sure. hubby and i will get to spend all sorts of time together. he'll be looking for different opportunities, the kiddos will be in school all day, and i'll be working from home and at home. hmm...i think it will take some getting used to, but i may just find i like having him around alot - or he might not be around much at all. who knows!!!


so we are walking in faith here. it has been a walk already, but we both feel good. there is some excitement. the plan is to venture out on his own in some fashion. the plan is for hubby to live his dreams and passions. he is a very talented man with a lot of wisdom and interests and skills....


and so the journey begins....

Congratulations! It feels like jumping out of an airplane, doesn't it? Don't worry, you have a parachute...it's called God and He will set you down gently exactly where He wants you.

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
