Things are changing for our family. We're taking a leap of faith and I'm going to stay home with our girls.
I resigned. I quit my job, my career. I won't be bringing home a paycheck. My husband will now be our sole provider. Even as I type this I'm getting little butterflies in my stomach.
I'm scared. I'm nervous. My mind constantly races with thoughts and questions like...How are we going to make it? What can we do without? My stomach churns and then I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and give it to Him. Because that's all I can do.
I have prayed diligently throughout the past year that the Lord would make a way for me to stay home with the girls and if not, at least give me peace about not being able to. I know that this is what's best for our family. For my sweet girls.
This also means some changes for my blog and shop. Hopefully for the better! I'm excited to blog more consistently and work towards achieving some goals for my shop. I hope that you will continue to follow along on this journey with me. I am excited to see what the Lord has planned!

How exciting!? I am going to do the same thing after we have our third baby in November. I am SUPER nervous. I keep thinking about it and wondering if everything will be okay. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help!?
ReplyDelete3rd baby! Say Whaaa? I can hardly keep up with two! I'm super nervous too...but I'm just going to put my faith in Him:)
DeleteHow exciting! I left my corporate job 8 years ago after my son was born and have never regretted it. There was tough times and the money was tight, but it was the best choice for our kids and family!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the shop and blog grow:)

It's great to hear encouraging words. I've never heard anyone say they wished they would have worked instead of staying home with their kids. :)
DeleteThat is so exciting! I've always desired to be home, but it isn't in the plan just yet. I love the print you used in your post!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! It certainly is a leap of faith! Back in April I was able to quit my job as well and it certainly was nerve wrecking! I would like to say that I am completely a stay at home mom as well but I am starting nursing school full time this August so I won't be home as much as I would like with our son. :(
ReplyDeleteGod has a plan for us though and for your family as well! I wish you the best (I'm sure it's certainly for the best)! I look forward to following you on your newest journey! :)

Thanks for the encouraging words Kayla! I have also wondered about going back to school because I'm not exactly happy with the profession I'm in. We'll see :)
DeleteAw, good luck to you! I am posting about my own journey on this same issue tomorrow. It is scary but so worth it. I'm sure you won't regret it one single bit. God is constantly growing me in this area when I get scared or worried. It will be fine, you'll see!!!

I'll be sure to check it out Carolyn. I find myself struggling with trusting in God and wanting to do things my way, but I know that His way is best and He will take care of us just like always.
DeleteLove the verse on the tree, how inspiring! Lots of luck :)
