I've been wanting to write this post for a few days now but I know that it's just not going to do what I'm going to say any justice. BUT Scott and I just watched 'The Blind Side' movie and let's just say, that I'm more than excited for my future... to make a difference. And now, more than ever, I KNOW this is right for me.
I'm quitting work.
AND going back to school...
to be an Elementary Education Teacher.
Me.
Quitting work.
And going to school.
I love seeing the light... and I sure wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the support of my AMAZING family. They intervened my pity party and helped me find my path. They pushed. They shoved. They dragged. And I kicked and head butted. But then it all became clear. And things fell into place in a miraculous way. And they keep heading in that direction.
And, I'm not nervous.
I'm at peace.
I look back and things seem so clear that this was God's path the whole time. But the whole time, I just kept looking at the negative: Scott losing his job, starting his own business that didn't provide any affordable health insurance, me going back to work doing a job I KNEW I was not put on this earth to do, missing Nathan, missing my Stay-At-Home position... yet, if none of that would have happened THIS wouldn't be happening.
Oh how I wish I could learn to trust in Him better. Instead, I just sit and disagree and doubt Him (thinking I know what's best). Yet some how, He still loves me. And most importantly, He gave me my AMAZING family which shows His love through and through.
