So, my life took a little unexpected turn yesterday that I wasn't really expecting. Going into work after having 2 weeks off, I am told that I either need to pick up more hours or they are going to have to let me go. Well, the hours they wanted me to work would be the time that I am home with my family. I never got a job intending for it to take me away from my family, only for something good for me to do while my kids were at school. So, I declined, they let me go and I was on my way home. I was pretty upset. I have been at this job for a year and a half now, I have really enjoyed it. I didn't even get so much as a thank you from the owner, which kind of hurt my feelings. So, now what?? I really don't know. Someone wise told me that when God closes a door he always opens a window, so now I am looking for that window. Is it another job? Am I suppose to be at home right now? Do I look for something I can start myself? Where it is the end of school, I am looking forward to a summer of fun with my kids, having them home. But when school starts again in the fall, I know I am going to be feeling like there has to be more to my life than this. This job was just so perfect for me, the hours and the place, I couldn't have asked for a better job for ME. Will I find something like that again? Who knows? My dear, sweet husband helped me to see that there are lots of things out there that I can do, I just have to find what it is I want. I know that I want to be home when my kids are, I know that I would enjoy doing something that I can do part time while the kids are at school. I like making a little of my own money. But, I am trying to look for the positive. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for me, and I trust him to direct my path, whatever that direction is. And that makes me feel a lot better.

What is it they say about life handing you lemons???
