Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy

"Good luck on the job, mom!......."

I am at the threshold of a "tear-sowing joy-reaping" experience I just can't miss sharing. Amidst an already demanding scheduled week including opposite spectrum emotions (my youngest turned one while my grandmother is grasping at the doorknob to eternity) I was handed an incredible gift - an amazing job offer opportunity for a temporary, full time position. Though humbled and honored my instinct is no; I have 4 children. Slowly throughout the day however, provision to take the opportunity began to be revealed. So I threw my hat into the ring. My kids know that I'm struggling to do the right thing; wanting it, not sure if I'll get it, not sure if I should take it if I do get it. Since they have really been encouraging me to go for it; "we'll be fine, mom!" I was teasing them as to why they were so anxious to get rid of me. I found this note on the table tonight after they were all in bed.

Good luck on the job, mom! I am sure that you will be the one with the job! Thank you for applying for this job! The #1 reason we want you to have this job is so that we can pay for all of needed items! I am surely positive that this is one of God's plans for our family future! If you end up with the job, maybe there will be a person who needs Jesus, and you will be the one to lead them to him. Since you are a talented, smart, amazing, and beautiful woman, I am sure this job will be yours!! Thank you once again for applying, and many thanks for being our mom!!
We love you!
Love,

(and they each signed it, except the baby of course!)


Guess I better get busy updating that ol' resume!
(Am I a blessed woman of the Lord or what?!)

Ok, I cant use Post-Pardom as an excuse anymore. That made me cry. But I am excited for you!
