I mentioned in a previous blog post that life is all about seasons. I am excited to say that our little family is about to enter an exciting new season. Through much prayer, my husband and I have decided that I will retire from the boardroom setting for awhile and stay home with my kids on a full time basis. I am absolutely thrilled about this! It has been very bittersweet as I’ve told my boss, my team and other co-workers. I’ve choked up a few times as I’ve made my announcement. I’ve spent the last 8.5 years of my life at this company and have made some wonderful friends! However, I am anxious to be able to savor this time a bit more while my children are so young. I know I will never regret this.
I have no idea how long this season will last. I’m leaving the details to God. He’s told us that He will work them out J I would welcome your prayers as I make this transition to full time motherhood in just a few short weeks.
On a side note, in case you are wondering if this now means that my house will be clean on a more regular basis, I can assure you it does not. My working outside the home has very little to do with its cleanliness. I am just a messy housekeeper and unfortunately that fact doesn’t bother me L
I am so excited for you and the kids Michaela!! Of course you will NEVER regret this decision...how could you with kids like yours to be home with all day:) Love you and your crew!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, MJ! God's got this--He'll let you know when your "maternity leave" is up! I was blessed to have a 10-year maternity leave, and I wouldn't trade it for all the retirement benefits in the world!! Blessings to your sweet family!!!
