To Work or not to work, that is the question.
Almost a month ago I received a letter asking what my intentions were for next year at the school I work at. I now have only 4 more days to reply (I think, I actually lost the letter and the form, so I am just going by what I remember)
I love my job.
I love my son.
I hate day care.
I love the people I work with.
I love spending time with my son.
I hate day care.
I hate having to plan around work.
I hate when Pete travels and I am a single parent.
I hate day care.
I love my job.
I have no idea what to do. Work or no work. After day care costs I make about $200 a month, which basically pays my other expenses that I have from working. But I'm not doing it for the money. I love my job, I feel called to it. But I'm called to raise my son to be a Godly man, and being raised by strangers isn't going to do that.
To Work or not the work. That is the question
You're still here?

Ugh...tough one...I am sure that which ever choice you make God will bless you, b/c I know you will have left it in His hands! even if you would go back to work, you can still raise a Godly son! woudl there be a chance of getting back into this job or a similar one when he is in school? hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Rae,
ReplyDeleteBig decisions like that can be so tough! I just wanted to say, I am at home with my kids, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Someday, I'd love to get a job again but for right now, I can't imagine trusting the raising of my kids to someone else. They are only little for such a short time, and they are SO impressionable, and they learn SO much at this age. What greater and more important task than raising the next generation of God's people, training them up in the Way they should go? Whatever you decide, I hope He makes the way clear for you!
So I still haven't decided. I handed in my form for work with a huge question mark on it and he accepted it. I expect this door will either open and I'll be offered fewer hours next year, or close when they offer me the same hours or more. I've just got to trust!
ReplyDeleteThe more I have been thinking and praying about it the more I've been wishing I had more time with Jaden. I'm slowly starting to lean that way.
