New Job, New Adventure!

Life has looked a lot different the past few weeks. I’ve tried finding time to share some news, and never could find the words or time to set down and write this post. A little over a week ago, I started a new adventure, which means my entire family has been on this new ride with me, too. Since the day we got Destiny, I have been a full time stay at home mom to all of our kids. Since they’ve all been getting older and had started their Mother’s Day out program, I started college full time last fall and am now in my second semester. Somehow I even managed to make the Dean’s List last semester! I never thought I would go to college as a wife and mom of 4, but here I am. But a couple of weeks ago I added yet another full time title to my ever growing list. Medical receptionist. 

God is good all the time, and when I started praying that God would send me the perfect job for me and family, he more than provided. On Valentine’s Day I had an interview, and that same Friday I started my new job as a full time medical receptionist for a local podiatrist office. It’s been the biggest blessing, and I can tell that God has put me right where he wants me at this point in our life. Praise the lord that the kids did not have to switch childcare facilities, we upped them to Monday-Friday but they are in such loving, Christian hands when they are not with Andy or I, and that gives me the most piece of mind that any mom could ask for. They love their school, and enjoy going, which makes me leaving for work everyday easy. 

I said it when I started college, and it’s still fitting now too, I’ve always been the kind of person to challenge myself. So although balancing and managing is the name of the game, I’m fulfilling every aspect of my life, all thanks to the support of my amazing, terrific husband, Andy. Literally none of this would be possible without his help and encouragement, and for that I am forever grateful! 

Women are powerful. The many hats we wear never ever quit evolving, but I pride myself on my adaptability. It’s a learning process for sure, and sure I am a lot more tired now than I used to be. But I’m working on my future, my goals, my career, my current self, all while helping to provide for my family. 

So although I switch gears really fast and can go from being a full time medical receptionist to full time student to full time mom of 4 and full time wife, my focus is where it should be at that particular moment. My time management skills are developing further than I ever thought possible. My heart is SO full and my cup runneth over! 

So, now you know where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing here lately! And why if you see me in scrubs, dozing off in class, grabbing a coffee midday, or eating on the go, you know why! Life’s a crazy journey, but when you’re surrounded by the people you love and your Faith is focused on His plans for your life, anything is possible with lots of hard work and dedication!

What is important to you? Overcoming depression and fresh realizations

It's only a matter of time until we realize what is important to us. What we need and why. It's a season of trial and error, and learning and exploring, and wishing and regretting, all to get to where we know what we want and need. Doesn't that sound nice? Knowing what we want and the steps taken to get it. Well, as nice as it sounds, most of us know that that's not typically the case. I've been in a season of realization lately, and I wanted to share a few of my thoughts with all of you. I've been realizing that there are unchangeable things about life. You may be saying, well, shouldn't you have already known that? Why yes, I KNEW that. But now, I ACCEPT it. I accept that there will always be things that are hard, unchangeable, or even things I can't stand. But, not everything in this world can be fixed or switched. Sure, most things can and should if it betters yourself. It's the times when things can't get fixed or switched that you enter a...

God Opens and Closes Doors

This past week has been an emotional roller coaster, to say the least. But there's one thing that has stuck out with every up and down. There's one thing I can't get out of my head. A big part of Faith is trusting that God will open and close doors for us. We feel lead to certain things, we feel empowered by different things, we feel pulled in multiple directions and just overall certainty about specific things. But our Faith steps into play when we feel sure that God has placed us where He wants us. When we're positive that God has opened up a door, an opportunity, for us to flourish and do His work there. This can be a tricky subject, because there are times we pray and pray and hope for our own interests to come to fruition, only to be torn when it doesn't happen. When we reach out so much time and effort into trying to obtain worldly things, such as homes, cars, jobs, and material objects. We can lose sight of where God is trying to use us. We can even get MAD a...

Let Them Be Kids

Yesterday I talked about having a routine, and positive outlook, and staying busy to get through your Monday and get your week started off right. And all of that is so true...but I wanted to add something to that today that I learned yesterday. If I'm not careful, more often than not all of our "busy" plans are centered around our adult life requirements, and not the kids being kids. Don't get me wrong, they are spoiled silly, but they don't run this house. With having 3 small kids nonstop, we've learned that anything we want to do on our time, they will pretty much get drug around to do with us. We do have the occasional sitter, or date nights, but for the most part it's me, my husband, and 3 or 4 kids. I feel safe in saying that we have mastered having them participate in our adult world, but sometimes I feel guilty when we run all "adult" errands and then just head home, or if we're too busy on a certain day to fit in our friends or a ...
