Change is Good

Today I feel encouraged to embark on many new challenges and journeys. Although my mind seems to be racing a mile a minute, my soul feels calm. This is pretty unusual for me, but it feels damn good. Living in a society thats such a rats race, its very easy to get sucked in and forget about the little things.

Just two months ago I was panicking over the thought of leaving my baby in the hands of someone else so that I could go to slave for the man. But now look at me...I am loving my surroundings, enjoying my time away, and appreciating the time spent with my girls. Of COURSE, I would rather continue being at home - BUT I am content in my position right now.

My family is moving in a different direction and I pray that it is full of joy and excitement. My husband is in cosmetology school after all these years and I am contemplating applying to a MS CNM program back home this summer! Its very scary because its not much time to up and move across state, leaving that which is comfortable for me. It excites me and worries me all at once. But after all it is in Yahweh's hands - I'm just putting it out there for the final decision.

Life is a crazy unpredictable thing...but so is birth!
