I know that my vague statement about an upcoming change in our family has stirred up lots of rumors...so here it is...our big news - -

Should I say it? It really doesn't seem that big to most, but for me it is an answer to prayer! I have been faithfully praying for Glen to see the need for me to be a stay at home mom (probably about 4 weeks). The kids really need me; L's schoolwork is suffering; M is crying every time I leave or come home - all he wants is for me to hold him. They both have been wanting me to sleep with them... then there's Glen's exhausted look. So the other night, out of the blue, Glen tells me he wants me to quit my job at Macy's. He's been reading a book, Family Driven Faith, that has changed his perspective on my role at home. So last week, I turned in my notice and tomorrow, Saturday, will be my last day.

I know for a lot of you this doesn't seem big. Trust me; for my husband and kids, this is monumental news. I'm looking at it as an opportunity to minister to those closest to me - my husband and children. It's a time for me to return to regular scheduled blogging. Mostly, it is a time where I can focus more on the Lord and His plan for my life.

There are other changes to come for God always challenges us and grows us. What His future holds for us is in His hands - not ours. May He continue to guide and draw our family closer to Him.
