Over the last two weeks I’ve been racking my brain with possible blog posts. I want to get back in the writing groove and just haven’t found the right entry point. Today as the rain pours down, the sky is gray and the girls are enjoying a movie I decided to look at my much neglected blog and found something surprising. It really shouldn’t be a surprise, after all, I did write the words just four months ago. But in the business and adjustment of change I totally lost track. I said that 2016 our family was going to be All In (in case you forgot too, click the link). Apparently I truly met what I said-
So it’s a new year and I’m committed to being all in. Not just to God, but to my husband, my kids, my home and myself.
On Tuesday, February 23rd I gave my letter of resignation to the job I have loved. My last day was April 29th. It had been on my heart that no one was getting the best from me and increasingly more and more my customers, kids, and husband were getting the worst. So I made a major life change. One that even though it has been extremely scary I have peace about.
I had been working with farmers for eight years helping them achieve their financial goals. I became invested in their lives, families and operations. I loved that I was part of an organization that impacted agriculture. My passion met with a paycheck. There were only a small handful of days I didn’t want to go to work an often had to tear myself away to go home. I hit and exceeded my goals, I loved training new staff and feel like I was well respected by my peers. Even so- I felt a tugging that my family needed me to have more control over my life.
So here it is. Week three of my new life. It is hard, it is easy, it is the same and it is different. But it is the right one. Another step in intentional parenting, intentional living, and another step towards being all in.
And because every post deserves a picture, this is from day one.
9am day one- Walmart and the three year old has no shoes. How does that even happen?
