NOTHING!!!!!

That's what happens around this house when I work, or am not around.  Nothing!  After a few days of working I start to hear, "there's no socks."  "the dishes are dirty,"  "there's no food in this house," and on and on.   The strange thing is, I worked full time for years, and we held it all together.  We ate more hamburger helper than we do now, but it all worked.  About 7-8 years ago I went to part time.  I really enjoyed my job but we decided family needed more mom time.  So we decided I would go to part time until all our kids were in school and then I could go back to full time and even back into management if I wanted. 
Well, all the kids are in school.  Steve and I talked about it at the beginning of the year.  I said, "I should probably go full time now huh?"  He said, "let's just wait another year and see how the year goes."   Sounded good to me.  As the year has gone on, we both agree, I'll stay part time.  I even told him I'd quit and stay home full time :)  Don't priorities change!  I like this messy house and kids schedules.  You only get to do this once. I don't want to miss it.  I won't quit work :)  I still enjoy my job and bills have to get paid.  But it's been fun to watch God change our hearts and desires.  What was a desire in my 20's isn't so much in my 40's.  The internal peace and contentment that comes with God is so good!  A place I pray everyone can find!
Happy day friends!  Look for HIM today.  You won't regret it!
