Another Big Change in 2013

So when I wrote this post back at the beginning of the year I knew we could potentially have a lot of change happening in our lives this year. Change that I was going to greet with open arms as God presented it to us. If he opened a door we were walking through it and we would keep walking until he closed it.

A huge door was opened for us in the last month. If you were to look through my prayer journal you would see a HUGE request on there pretty much anytime I sat down to spill my guts and get out my requests on paper. A prayer that if I could not be a SAHM if it was not in the cards for my family that I could find a job that would allow me more time with them, that I could spend more time with my kids than I am away from them.

My last day at my current 9-5 job is ending today, I start my new job back at the place that I started my working life when I was 15 years old, I worked there through high school and college breaks. I am going to be working at a kennel where I can work a split shift leaving me all afternoon with my kids. My time with them will go from about 1- 2 hours a day with them to about 7.

God amazes me at his timing, his absolute perfect timing. This is happening in time for Lydia's carpool to start at preschool next week, allowing me the chance to pick her up everyday and hear all about what she learned and who her new friends are. It's happening after we moved into a house that is 1/2 a mile from my new "office" and I am located right down the street from my amazing family who watches the kids (as in we are practically neighbors)

I am so thankful for the opportunity I had at this last job, for the confidence I built, for the thick skin I developed, for the friends and contacts I made  but I am so incredibly excited to spend more time being a mom and the rest of my time doing something I adore. Taking care of people's furry family members when they are away.

Be patient in your requests, they are not falling on deaf ears. He listens He cares and He takes care of his children.
