Friday's post since I fell asleep before I could type it.
Today was the day I'd been waiting for. A month ago, I took a big jump. I was excited but part of me felt like it was a jump right off the ledge. But, I was counting on God to be there to catch me. So, I jumped. Leaving a job after 11 years is always scary- especially when it's not a job you hate and you're going to leave that field and everything/ everyone you know behind!
So far, I love my new job! I'm already realizing how much I enjoy working with these teens. The power was out due to remodeling yesterday so we closed early. I was really bummed that I had to leave early and that I wouldn't see them until Tuesday because of President's Day on Monday. So, yes, I love my job!
But, I also love my family. And, making sure we have a roof over our heads and food on the table is something I feel is pretty important. And, although I'd calculated and figured things out, until I got the actual paycheck yesterday, part of me had this sinking feeling that I had miscalculated.
I didn't! We're going to be able to eat! I even paid off another bill yesterday thanks to my debt snowball plan. A year ago, I was a month into Financial Peace University. At the time I was excited because I was starting to get a handle on our finances. Now I believe it was all part of God's plan to get me ready for this new adventure in my life.
Some people say it's hard to let God into their life. I feel so relieved that God is walking with me every step of the way and that I don't have to worry because He's taking care of things. Yes, sometimes I get a little nervous, I am human after all, but deep inside, I know God is there handling it all.
Matthew 11:28
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
