I'm thankful for our jobs
Chris and I are blessed to be able to do what we love, and what we feel God is calling us to do. Chris, unfortunately has to work a lot of long hours and do a lot of extra work for me to be able to stay at home with our kids, but since it's something we both value very highly, he is selflessly willing to do it for our family. I won't say it's not hard and there aren't times we wish we had more money or more time together, but we are extremely grateful for the jobs God has provided for us and ways that He has provided for us outside of our jobs.
Obviously my main job is full-time mommy. As I have stated many, many times, this is a dream come true for me and I love my job. And it is a job, that's for sure. Not a paying job, but a job nonetheless. Many of you may not know, but I also have a little part-time job. I work at our old church as the bookkeeper. I go in one morning a week for a couple of hours and bring the kids with me. They eat snacks, play in the nursery or draw pictures while I do the deposit and pay the bills. It really is a great job for a stay-at-home mom like me - flexible and kid-friendly. Chris is in his 10th year of teaching and he also coaches girls basketball. As we look back on our married years, we can see God's hand in each and every job, either well before He knew we'd need it, or right at the time we needed the extra income.
Working is part of life, enjoying your work is a gift from God (Ecclesiates 5:19).
