New Avenues….
My heart is being led into a different career. Now, just to be clear I will say that I have no plans to return to the working world prior to my children reaching school age. I want to be at home and available to teach them and watch them learn and grow. However, I am looking ahead for two reasons. One reason is because I do feel called to a different career and therefore must walk the educational path to get there and that is something that I can do over time and still enjoy being a Stay-at-Home Mommy. And, the second reason is the more obvious one….my husband is a ticking time bomb and there are no guarantees here. If he gets worse or becomes a danger, I have to find a way to be able to stand on my own again and I would not be able to do that in my current career path.
So, I have been actively doing research and talking with career counselors that can answer my many questions and one of them today was able to bring me some light that I certainly had never heard of before. It’s a path that is within my potential career journey and yet would grant me the ability to work from home as much or as little as I’d like until I decide to re-enter the working world on a more permanent basis. It would offer the financial means for me to have that ability to provide for my children without having to rely on someone else.
I could not believe my ears when I received all of the information on this option. It’s perfect for me and desires and the way it was introduced to me makes me believe it was God opening that door since it was not something I was researching at the time. My only struggle with actually jumping on the band wagon to begin right away is the financial aspect of the school. My current student loan is, well….let’s not even go there. =) I’d really hate to stack more debt in that department. I have been researching scholarships and hope to find one that will cover more than the value of one credit hour.
If you’d like to say a prayer, please pray that God will continue to show me the doors that will fund this new avenue. I will keep my eyes open to His will.
On another note, this is the beginning of the weekend and I’m a little nervous as to how it will play out since my husband will be home. I’m certainly hoping that things will be calm and peaceful for a change. Have a wonderful weekends readers….more news to come soon!
bless your heart
been there done that
single again for 16 years now but my children are grown, healthy and happy
the biggest or smartest, one of them, things I did while in the middle so it was to take care of me, I could take care of everyone else much better if I was happy so I took care of me, couldn’t ask kids to do it and couldn’t expect husband to do it, so I did the little things for me so I could be strong enough to take care of everyone else and when it was ll over I was also able to help other women who were going through it
God is with you, let him guide you, cause the water is definitly rough
take care
