Onward We Go
Here it is...10:15pm and the house is cleaned up, the dishwasher humming, and the kids tucked away cozy in their beds. Just like every other night...except that this one is a tad different. It is my last night as a student...as tomorrow is my first day as a working woman. More importantly, tomorrow is my first day as a working (ok, so only two days a week...but still!) mom and tonight is my last day as a SAHM. Tonight I went through my closet and tried on nearly everything that was remotely business casual. I decided on the two outfits I will wear this week...and set them neatly out. I contacted my place of employment, got my schedule for tomorrow, and printed off my hourly log. I am all ready. Ok, so I am scared to death...but I am also super excited. I just want to jump in with both feet and find out what God has in store. The last few days have continued to bring more and more confirmation that God is blessing this decision...and while at this point I have no idea what He plans to do with my counseling degree, I am ubber confident that He has something in store...and that, my friends..is pretty exciting.
What is this change going to be like for my kids and our family dynamic? Will be good at counseling? Will I enjoy it and feel effective? So many questions...that I am so ready to find answers to. I can't believe that the day has finally come to start this new job. For so long it seemed so far away, and all of those years of school my internship seemed like a distant reality. Now it is here and no longer will I have to study for hours on end and write paper after paper...but instead I will learn to translate that knowledge into practical application. That is the cool thing about counseling...I have a window of opportunity to touch people's lives...and I pray that I can do so in a way that helps bring healing and hope and restoration and peace. Oh I am so excited.
A few mornings ago Noah actually slept in (I think he was sleeping off his sickness). I must have been exhausted myself because I never even heard Landon get up. When I woke up I found this blue wrapped present under the tree waiting for me and this beautiful mess on my kitchen table. I love my little Landon...and I am so thankful that after spending a few hours chasing a dream that God has planted in my heart...I can come home to him...and Noah...and Jon. So onward we go...to something new and exciting.
