Yay!!

 I had a great 1st day at my new part-time job yesterday. I guess I did well. I wasn't told otherwise. It's just a 10-16 hour a week gig. It's for a research company and I just collect data for our partners that we work for, and forward them the correct info on whatever project that they are conducting with their clients. It's in the evenings, so Hubby is able to be here with our son those 4hrs I work. Tues, Thurs, Friday, & Sunday evenings. Which I'm thankful for cuz I still can go to church and do my sunday activities without feeling rushed or having to miss church all together. So I praise God for that. And it doesn't take me away from my family or my responsibilities here @ home; like where I would maybe be too tired to get done what needs to be done @ home.

 Let me back up here. I'm excited cuz the last time I worked outside the home was Nov 2006. I was in the process of looking for another job when I found out I was pregnant and I was planning my wedding. The 1st 5 months of my pregnancy I was constantly sick (tired & nauses) it never left me alone! There was really nothing I could do, so that put my job search on hold. Then my Hubby was like, well I really don't want you to work while you're pregnant anyway, and we had already discussed that I would be a SAHM once the baby arrived. So I guess I just got an earlier start.

 Once I reached my 5th month I was fine, but still had to take it easy cuz we found out I had 2 huge Fibroid tumors and the baby was laying on them. This concerned my Husband and I. But the Lord is good! For the remainder of my pregnancy I had no pain except the one time, when we found out what it was. I was still active but I listened to my body and never over did it. I had no issues with my blood pressure, I didn't get gestational diabeties, none of the gross things that happens during a pregnancy. I didn't even have any leg or back pain! and I had a big baby! I didn't start to swell until like 2-3 weeks before I gave birth.  We got married Aug/2007 and our son was born Oct/2007. Oh and I had the easiest labor ever! Our son was breach so he was delivered by c-section. Although the surgery was planned, I still went into labor a day before so they just took him a day early...

 Sorry I got away from myself but the point was, I was only gonna stay home until our son was maybe a year old or a little over. But when I saw him.. that plan was out the door! And Hubby agreed too, that I needed to be here for as long as God would allow it. Our son is 23 months old now.  He will be 2 next month (lord willing). I guess what I'm trying to say is it's amazing how the Lord works. I mean I'm now ready to work outside the home and HE Blesses that with this part-time job, but he knows that I'm not the career oriented woman I once was before I became a mother. My Husband and our Son and home is my Full-time gig. And HE has Blessed us with a Great Stable job for my Husband throughout my pregnancy and the raising of our son, so I would be able to stay home.  And now giving me the opportunity to have something of my own, but not have that at the expense of my family. God Is just AWESOME!!!! I'm happy cuz I almost didn't take this position, I almost talked myself out of it. Hubby would have gone along with whatever made me happy, but I know he wanted me to have something for me as well.

So all I can say is YAY!  Thank You ABBA for being so good even though I clearly do not deserve it.

Oh girl, God is good isn't He! Trusting Him always works out well for us. I'm so happy for you and am praising Him right beside you. "He ain't never done me nothing but good" to quote a song lyric! How aptly it applies everyday huh?
