Testing..1..2..3..

Sunny Day

I'm going to be working on a project and decided to test this program out. The flower in my hair is what I made on my last creative whim. The cute pups? God made them! {the brown, white, and black one mostly to teach us patience, I think!}

I did something odd today...

To say that today was a whirlwind would be an extreme understatement. I think I had every emotion possible rolled into a matter of about 6 hours.

I woke up early with energy that had to only be something of God I was up incredibly late cleaning/emailing a perspective employer. Received an email back that changed the follow up (offer or no offer) date, and I panicked. I had another strong offer on the table and was due to let them know yesterday. The fact alone that I was going to possible have to tell one that it wasn't going to work out with their company had my stomach turning.

6 months i have been seeking and applying for employment within 2 weeks I had three calls/strong leads to interviews. We have big plans for this weekend. These two latest leads were scheduled to have me begin orientation on Monday, our 3rd anniversary. I completely felt like my life was out of control.

God told me to just breathe, he had this. But, me, being me. just couldn't let that happen. If I don't get back to company B, I will no longer have the offer. If I take Company B's offer, I am giving up on a where I feel God calling me. Just breathe. Just be honest.- God

If only, I would just listen. So I prayed...sent the email and left to go hold a newborn. Within 20 30 minutes...had the job offer for company A. Humbled. Everyone kept getting insanely excited, and the word had spread faster than I had planned. I am still taking it all in. It's still overwhelming...I know that the work is going to be rough...every aspect...but so worth it! The experience I will gain, will be unmatchable.

The crazy part?

I let go of an offer...that I knew I was getting great pay, what my benefits were, that I would be working one less weekend a month...and committed to an offer that...I could have 0 benefits, get paid $5/hour, work harder, and miss more of my families life...because I feel like that's where I am supposed to be. It doesn't matter to me where I am, or what I am getting paid, as long as I know God is there with me.

Some call that stupid. I call that faith.

Today I am hoping to find out the details!

I'm a little excited, but mostly completely humbled by God's grace, and scared to death about everything ahead. It will be so w o r t h it!
