If I had to choose two words to describe myself they would be 1)Faith & 2)Family. I'm a stay at home Mom of two, ages 4 and 2. I have a wonderful husband. I am also a granddaughter, daughter, sister, aunt, niece and cousin. My life hasn't been a bed full of roses! I've lived the spectrum from living hell to bliss! And although there were times I didn't think I could go on, God continually showed his Mercy through my mess!

Long Winding Road . . .
So my last post was in August and it's been a crazy ride since then! I was offered a job and after A LOT of prayer, accepted. I worked at this job from September thru December. I didn't mind the job itself and felt completely at peace with the choice I had made. However towards the end of December I started feeling like it was time to move on . . . I kept thinking, 'God you want me to quit?!?!?!' I don't take leaving a job lightly. So it definately boggled my mind that I was feeling a nudge to leave and move on! However, God and his infinite Grace opened a door for me with another company. It shortened my drive by 40 minutes and increased my income. I'll be honest here and say I still hesitated to leave job #1. God had opened another door for me, was giving me peace about changing jobs, he all but pushed me through the door himself. But still I hesitated! It was completely nothing but fear! I kept thinking, 'Did I make the wrong decision to begin with?' After some encouraging words from my husband, I took that leap and left Job #1 for Job #2. Taking the time to read my Bible and Pray is definately something I have trouble doing! And having the desire to follow God's will for my life and NOT reading my Bible and Praying for direction is even harder! I don't want to be one of those people that talk the talk and profess to have God on speed dial when in reality I don't even have the right phone number! I want to be at peace with my relationship with God! I want to feel him with me daily! I know that God doesn't leave me, it's me that leaves God! And not praying and reading my Bible is one sure way of forgetting him when I walk out the door! So i'm still at Job #2 and some amazing opportunities have opened up for me! And now I look back and think, 'God knew EXACTLY where I was going! I'm the one that forgot to look at my GPS!' So i'm still on this Long Winding Road, Praying daily I don't end up in the ditch . . .
