This week I resigned from a company I had worked with for several months. Hard decision, huge relief in the aftermath. It doesn’t make much sense from those who are all about getting ahead, but in my heart, and my husband’s heart, the reasons we came to this decision are sound and the choice was clear.
Tonight I was offered yet another part time employment, one that we know I am capable of, and yes, would provide yet more financial opportunities for us. Yet, in reflection and consideration, we both know the answer is to it also, no. Thanks for asking.
Am I simply comfortable with knowing I am choosing a tight existence. no…decisions like these come very very hard to me….I am from a family who values money in the bank and a future planned on tax free interest bonds…..but to be authentic to what and who my beloved and I are choosing to believe in…..the answer this time is no.
Its a strange kind of peace, this obedient wife business, and knowing that my husband prays intently and listens carefully before making the decision…..it absolutely encourages me that we are indeed at peace with the path God has directed for both of us.
God is good….and peace was given by our Lord so that when the rough winds come, we can sleep in the storms.

I can relate. I was recently presented with an opportunity that would increase our income by 75% if I were to pursue it. Sounds crazy by worldly standards, but I know I’m where I’m supposed to be. As always, thank you for posting your heart.
