A New Adventure

This week has been bitter sweet. I am ending a time in my life that I have LOVED, ENJOYED and well okay at times wanted to pull my hair out! This was my last week as a stay at home mom. Tomorrow I start my new job, and Saturday I graduate with my Masters in Social Work. Wow!!! I am overwhelmed with joy and sadness. 

At times being a stay at home was hard and there were moments when I asked myself, "Why do I suck this" or " Am I good mom"?  But at the same time, I have never had more joy and felt complete. I have never been more happy then being at home with my kids in their early years of their life. God has blessed me beyond measure. 

It was hard realizing that today was the last day in the carline to pick up my little girl from school, and while that seems lame I know, I love being their for her. It makes my day when she smiles and tells me about her day at school. The same was true for my little guy, today was the last day I got to take him and pick him up form school. Before school starts he gives me a BIG HUG and Kiss and when he is released from school he comes running to me with a huge smile yelling "Mommy!!!" 
They both make my heart melt. 

While I have enjoyed my time at home, I am extremely excited about my job opportunity! The Asbury MSW program has been amazing. I feel equipped and ready to tackle this job straight on. The professors have done an amazing job helping me to integrate my faith into my practice. Working with people is a passion and a love I have. God has called us me to minister to the poor, the widow, the oppressed, and the vulnerable.
