It is definitely premature to post anything about what I've been mulling over the past couple of days - but I would like to ask for any prayers you could offer up. I am thinking/praying about taking some preliminary steps to begin what would end up looking a lot like a career.
And the reason it is difficult to even consider is because it would mean LOTS of changes in our family.
My biggest concern right now is that what looks great to me personally and might truly satisfy my own ambitions - may also have a negative effect on my family as a whole. Of course, if I could predict that going in, I would not even consider it - but I can't, so therein lies the dilemma.
I want what is best for my family, our relationships with God, and our finances to align themselves perfectly.
So direction - I need direction. Thank God I know the 'Guy' with the road map...
It's like my letter to Santa this year. I wanna know what I'm gonna be when I grow up...

Wendy - thank you! You may never know what a relaxing and wonderful evening you provided for us tonight. The atmosphere, the company, the food - all of it, TERRIFIC!! I am blessed beyond measure to have a friend like you. Thanks so much! I'll have to return the favor soon!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
seph- I drove by your house tonight, as promised, to look at this fabled tree. It is lit up like Rockefeller's!! You really did wind lights around branches for a whole day, didn't you?
Magnifique!

I finished painting my dining room table tonight! I love it! Even if money were no object, this dining room set is what I would have! I am so very pleased with the way this "Do It Yourself" Project has turned out. Pictures to come. (I have to wait for the paint to dry before I can push the chairs back in.)

I have been a bona fide basket case for at least the last 3-4 weeks. If you have unsuspectingly walked into my hormonal fury, I apologize. If you have skirted around the whole event, consider yourself lucky!
Camezi and Scraps have led me on a multi-vitamin revolution and I anticipate brighter days ahead! I already feel dynamite in the emotional health department and it's only been a few days. I guess my body was revolting on the M&M and diet soda regime...
Thanks for your advice girls - sometimes it's the obvious stuff that eludes me!

I have looked forward to few things as I have this Progressive Dinner on Friday night!
I am literally salivating. Yes, I do anticipate great grub - but more than that, I am going to see most of my dear friends in a social setting without having to redirect kids or be yanked about the church foyer by naughty noodleheads. It's pure adult socializing with some of my favoritest people!!
I can't wait!!!!!

Your not aloud to throw a bone and then not give all of the scoop:(
On a lighter note, I'm glad to have skirted around your fury I have enough of my own.
Friday is going to be great. I love babysitters.
I'm really glad you and your kids were able to come over tonight. Remember how lonely being a stay-at-home mom is? You were a break in our mundane week. Thank you. Z cried when y'all left.
meems - you and I have talked about this particular angle before - You're one of the ones who encouraged me to seek it out - Don't feel left in the dark :)
hmmmmm. interesting.
I've been in the dark so long, I'm now a mushroom!
You'll do great. Listen for His voice, wait for His nudge and read His word! Lots of praying and trusting!!!
praying for you, friend.
wherever you end up, it will be the best for you and your family. you're taking the right steps...seeking God's will for your life. you can't fail.
in the meantime, you could keep coming to my house and we could swap our "dirty laundry"...that always makes me feel better. =)
I hope you get an angelic visitation to tell you what God wants you to do. That's what I always want. LOL. If it actually happened, I'd probably be scared out of my mind, though.
I told you before - I think clown school would be a great thing for you and your family too. Why the hesitation? =)
as someone who is going through immense changes in her life, i say do the possible and let God do the impossible. I believe that He will not allow us to move too far from Him, where His will is for our sakes. i am learning to rest in the midst of upheaval that i have no control over.
No one cares for us the Christ does. If you seek His will and then wait for His direction you can't go wrong.
When we have our eyes so focused on Him there is nothing that we cannot achieve or do. He always makes a will for us when it is His will for our lives.
Even when we are not looking for something, if it is His will, it will find us. Then we will soar like eagles no matter how hard it is. So I say to you rest in His arms, pray and wait. He will either open a door, or close a window. Rest, don't let the enemy get you so wrapped up in any situation that you lose time worrying about it.
God is in control. Rest in that. And know that there is someone who loves you and is continually praying for you.
love you,
kimmie
Well, I really think this particular direction is in very bad timing. I think you have a few more years of sweet baby time/ hard baby moments before you can make this type of change and not regret it forever, sis.
does anyone else cry reading kim's comments? sheesh.
umm.. i'm glad you like my tree. and i'm glad i know you. and i'm glad for babysitters too. and i'm glad you're gonna come to my house friday.
that's all, i think.
