Well I have done it! I have actually set up a blog. I have no idea how I am going to have the time to write something everyday, but I will give it a try.
One of the reason I have started this blog is so that I can work on my typing skills. I need to take a typing test soon and I have not had to work at a computer in the last 3 years, so I am a little rusty. I have decided to apply for a new job in the school district. I have been a custodian for that last 3 years. I took this job so that I could be home during the day with my daughter who was 1 at the time. I didn't mind it to much but I get really ashamed to let anyone know what I do for work. I only wanted to do this for a little while just to get my foot in the door but here it is 3 years and another baby later. Before I had children I have always had decent office jobs. Thought I didn't mind the work but after I had my daughter I hated taking her to a babysitter. I had to go back to work when she was six weeks old. It was so hard I missed her everyday, but money didn't allow me to stay home. I wanted to leave so bad. I went back to school and applied at lots of different places but it was such a struggle and everything came to a dead end, also at the time the company was going threw a huge transition and making work very stressful. I was so unhappy. I prayed everyday for God to open up an opportunity. Finally he answered. I had been praying for over a year. My friend's husband is a custodian and he said that they were hiring. I thought why not it isn't glamorous and It would give me a much need mind break. I applied and got the job in less then a month (that is unheard of usually it takes 6 months). I said adios to the stressful job and I have never once regretted leaving. Yes, my job is not glamorous and it has humbled me but it was the wisest decision I have ever made because I am able to raise my children. That was my hearts desire and still is and I am going to apply for another night position because I have finally felt released to do so.

I too will never regret staying home with my children. I live by a couple of mottos:
"No success made in the workplace can compensate for failure in the home" and
"The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own home"- David O McKay
The Lord continually blesses us for our love and service. He knows the desres of our hearts, and that they are righteous desires. He will always provide a way.
