see that airplane?
see where it came from?
and then it dramatically changed direction.
and maddie and isaac were guessing where it came from and where it was going, and i was snapping a picture with my phone because i was thinking - that's it! that's my life right now!
we have had dreams and goals and we know what we really think is right for our family, and we just haven't been able to head that way . . .
there was a business partnership that needed to end. and it has ended. gracefully and graciously.
there were new jobs for ben to scope out and apply for, and he's done that. so much leg-work. and he's ready to go. (official start date, april 7, 2013. official title, range technician. long story. but we're here now. and we have this.) ben is also taking an EMT class - back to another old-made-new job. he'll work intermittently for our local ambulance during the spring, summer and fall. then during the winter, he can work full time.
this means that i can cut back, way back, soon, on my hours at the nursing home. i do work pm's now, instead of overnights, but wow. does this take away from the time i am able to be wife and mom and teacher and homekeeper.
we're also in the process of reworking some of the things that caused me to have to go to work outside our home in the first place.
this is just the tip of the iceberg, really.
i just keep breathing deep breaths and reminding myself that God knows. He has known. He will always know. and i can rest in that.
and that bend in the airplane vapor? it continues straight into the clear blue sky.
