A Step Of Faith

Today, I quit my job at starbucks. It was time. As I mentioned in my sickies post, my hours there have not been good. Part of that is the fact that the hours at my store changed, and part of it is the fact that my availability is not too good either (got to give the hours to the husband, who brings in significantly more an hour than me).
Well, the first week of December, I had 4 hours. Yes, folks, FOUR. It gets better. This week and next I had ZERO hours scheduled.

This caused me and Jonny to have to do some hard thinking and praying. Mostly me, as Jon had put the whole me working at sbuxs thing in my hands when I went back after maturnity leave. Talk about a hard decision! I agonized and lost sleep over it but finally knew that I couldn't keep working there.

I have struggled today. I know I did the right thing, but I kept feeling like a failure, and I kept worrying about how everything is going to work out. But, if I truly believe that God led this (and I DO!) than I know I can trust that He will work out all the details!

In the end, I am happy to know that I will get more time with my family...especially Jon. And, I am working more at my church again, which is nice too. I am grateful that the Lord made clear the path I was to take and gave me the courage to do it.

Way to go girl. You will grow in your trust and confidence in
God's timing. Enjoy the time you have been given. No amount of money can replace that.
