Because blessings are raining down...
I whole heartily believe in a higher power. I believe that this higher power gives us answers when we seek them; whether or not they are what we want to hear, we are given answers. And most importantly, I believe in signs...
I believe that God gives us signs so that we know that we are travelling along the right path to our destiny; yes, I believe in destiny. I also believe that our lives are already planned out.
(Personal Alert)
Lately, I made the life changing decision to leave my job of 14 months, making $16 an hour with full benefits, to go back to being a Stay At Home Mom. Why? Because my children needed me. Before my job, I stayed home with my children while my husband worked. Once our children were old enough to go to school, I got a job. I made a promise to my husband that if it ever came down to having to choose either my family or my job, then my obvious choice was my family. That, is ultimately what it came down to...
Through out the entire year that I worked at my job, I was given the signs. Some were small but there were a few quite obvious ones; all the same, I didn't take heed to any of them. Time went on and though my professional life was fine, my home life seemed to be falling apart... (Major Sign One)
As time further went on, I was able to put back together some of the broken pieces of my home life, only to have my professional life crumble to the ground. The cause: because I did my job too well... (Major Sign Two)
It wasn't something that I instantly jumped into doing. I first wanted to change shifts at my job and when that didn't pan out, I began looking for other jobs. The entire time while I was doing that, I just kept praying for guidance and eventually, my Husband came to me and said that I didn't need to find a job. That I should just take some time to get myself together and everything in order; that I had worked hard enough as it was and that I needed a break. I took that as a blessing in disguise.
What really told me that I was doing the right thing, was what followed next. All the signs were there. Everything that I was doing prior to working, started slowly falling back into my lap once I decided to stop working. My jewelry line, my poetry, me as an editor. Those were the things that I was into prior to and once I decided to leave, I had customers lined up for all of those things. To me, those were my "snowflakes". Imagine how snowflakes fall down; they layer neatly and perfectly one on top of the other, right? Well, that's how my blessings have been falling, telling me that those were signs from God letting me know that I had finally made the right decision after all....
