For the past 3 years, I have stayed home with our boys. I’ve been blessed to have two businesses that allowed me to do that AND still allowed me to be a career woman with a bit of adult conversation.
Well, God had a different plan than me.
I’ve been praying that He interrupt my days with His assignments. As a result, He has been revealing to me countless ways to serve Him. When my day takes a sudden detour, I just laugh out loud and start looking for who or what He wants me to do. They have ranged from simple joys of opening doors, helping a person do something, buying new shoes for a homeless man, calling someone, the list goes on and on.
The morning in December when God asked me to go back into the workforce as a Full Time employee, I tried to deny what I heard and ignore Him. After praying and praying (my attempt to negotiate, plead, convince) God that I can do His work while being a Mompreneur. However, that evening I finally obeyed the nudging and applied for a few jobs online. I asked God to make it very clear and shine a light on the path He wanted me to take.
My plan was to go to the interviews on His assignment and check that off the list! However, God’s plans are better than mine.
I had many, many emotions going back to work full time and I recorded this video nearly two months ago. I pray that it helps someone else get through a challenging time.
Soon, I will post an update on the decision God led me to say YES to. I have been on an absolutely amazing ride, full of blessings and opportunities. An added bonus, is that my own two businesses have actually increased dramatically – now that I work them more effectively in the nooks and crannies of my day! I am sooooo grateful to my incredible husband that has supported me and taken over many roles in our marriage and family.
Blessings,
