So a couple of weeks ago my sister posted about thankfulness and being thankful. It got me thinking about thankfulness in my own life. Every night when the kids and I say their prayers, we tell God everything we are thankful for. So every night the kids and I thank God for our friends and family, for our home, for food to eat, and for everyone to get a good night's sleep and we have been thanking God for these things as long as Abby has been alive because they are part of our prayers. However, about 6 months ago I started adding something to my thankful list. I started adding that I thank God for a job in which I can stay home and take care of my kids. Staying home with my kids has always been my hearts desire, but it is not feasible unless I can make money from home as well. So, even though I had no job prospects at the time, I started thanking God daily for the job that I desired because God knows what is best for me.
Well, a week ago, I got a call to interview with an online school called ECOT. In 1 week, I got the call, interviewed, they called my references, I got a job offer and I start on Jan. 3rd. Therefore, I resigned my job on Monday of this week and as of Thursday (12/22/11) I am no longer working at the school I have been at for 9 years. I will be staying at home with my kids. I no longer have to put them in daycare! I am soooo excited!! I am officially a work at home mom!! This is a HUGE transition for my family. Eric and I have worked together since we met so it is going to be very weird to not work together! Anyway, please keep our family in your prayers during this crazy time of transition!

It is such a true statement. We thank God for things before they happen, and look what He has done for you. I am so excited for you, Eric and the kids. God is truly faithful when we put our trust in Him.
