well it is official i am not returning to work outside the home; i am now a work-at-home mom. i have talked to other moms who remind me that being at home is work, tough work and to start thinking about myself as not returning to work outside the home. does that make sense?
and boy is it a lot of work!
it is slightly scary going down to one paycheck but God is blessing us and reminding us how he has provided for us and will continue to do so in the future. here are a few examples of God's amazing timing and provision:
in march when we found out it was twins i met donna on the train. she has 4 year old twin boys and when i met her she was cleaning out all of their baby stuff. she gave us great advice and a ton of baby stuff.
over the summer our friends with girls gave us their hand me downs. i spent this weekend putting away and organizing all of it; tamsin and elyse will not need any clothes until they are 18 months!!
over the summer Dan was promoted.
and finally on the day i told my boss i was not coming back to work Dan was promoted again!
Luke 12:27-31:
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well."
