Mixed Blessings

Have you ever experienced a mixed blessing? I'm in the middle of one right now. I went to work at Macy's for the holiday season looking to supply gifts for my children. In the back of my mind, I was looking forward to the day it would end. However, I was also open to staying on after the new year in order to help out here at home with finances - our goal is to be debt free (outside of our car payment) by the end of 2010. So it comes out that Macy's has extended my temporary status and has continued my employment...So now, in addition to all my other duties, I am adding a full-time job. I am no longer a Christian Stay-at-Home mom...I am a working mom. How do I balance it all? What priorities do I need to focus on? What can be cut out of my life? These are the questions I have been asking myself over the last two weeks. I have no answers yet. However, I know God knows and has set the path before me. I need to be thankful and joyful for my mixed blessing. God is providing. I will miss being at home all the time. I will miss my kids and the funny things they do. I also feel this is just for a season and I will return to full-time homemaking...Hang on for the adventure with me!!!
