Really, Lord???

This last week I found myself at a crossroads. To make a SUPER long story short, my flying job has pretty much fizzled out. As God is so famous for doing, He laid the perfect opportunity in my lap. Much the same way He laid the flying job in my lap 7 years ago. I've been asked to work part-time for some friends at their auto shop as a receptionist/office assistant. At first, I was very afraid to take the step, knowing it meant I would be completely unavailable to fly--IF they called. And lately, that's been a ginormous IF. But it has become more and more obvious that God is leading me and my family down a different path for the time being....and it may be a short time or a long time...but I'm always up for an adventure. So after praying with Jase about it and feeling confident that God is in this, I called my friend and took the plunge.

This is a blessing in so many ways. I won't bother to list them all, but just trust me. Or if you really want to know, call me and I'll fill you in. :) To say that I am an adventurer who hates change probably sounds like a huge paradox. But that's me. I have fought nerves all day today knowing my new adventure starts tomorrow. I have prayed and asked God for peace and blessings, and to grant me continued favor in the eyes of my employers (even though they already love me) and my co-workers (who I haven't met yet.) I've asked Him to help me make the most of this new start. I've asked that my children will get along for five hours a day without me until school starts. I have thanked Him repeatedly for a fresh start and the opportunity to help out with the family finances. And for providing this job where I'm already wanted.

When my friend asked me to come work for them, she said "You would be such a God-send to us." Really? She has no idea what that meant to me at a time where I feel I am the blessed one! So I say....BRING IT! I am ready for my new adventure which starts TOMORROW!

Then...Jake came downstairs at 9:00 tonight and puked his precious little toenails up in the kitchen trash. REALLY, LORD??? It's ok. I'm still smiling. But it looks like I'll be delaying my new adventure by a day or two.
