EDIT: to change Sometime's to Sometimes in the title. Clearly my mind is preoccupied with other things. But, WHEW!, glad I caught it!
For many months I have been praying for God's direction regarding my many jobs. With number two on the way, I knew from the beginning I needed to let something go.
Yesterday I received my answer. I resigned from Highsteppers.
It certainly was not the answer I thought I would get. Nor the answer I was hoping for or wanted. But I know, without a doubt, this is His answer.
I never prayed for MY answer. I prayed for HIS. The hardest part is that our answers are different. And He always knows best.
So now I find myself asking again- What do I do? How will this affect us financially? Do I stay where I am? Is there something different for me? Do I add more hours at the office? Stay the same? Decrease them?
There are more details to the story. I have very mixed feelings about the whole situation. However, the more I think about it, the more I know this is God and the more I understand that the less important the other details are.

Wow, Lauren, I'm sure that was really hard... yeah, tell me about it, I know just what you mean about His answer can be different from Our answer (or what we hope for!) I am experiencing that with working right now. But I DO know that He will always work things together for our good, so trust in that & I will pray He leads you in all your decisions and provides for your every need and gives you wisdom as you figure out what is next. Change is always so hard! Lots of love to you all!!!
Lauren, you are amazing. Isn't it nice to know that God is in control?
I've been right where you are. Knowing it was HIS answer, but worried about how I was going to feed my 2 children, what I was supposed to do, and so emotionally overwhelmed I couldn't think straight.
I love how you ended this post...the more you dwell on the fact that it was HIS answer, the more the details don't matter. You are so right. Rest in HIS arms and find peace.
You are in my prayers.
Lauren, you are in my prayers. I remember so well the day last year when this story was Melissa's. She had planned on the money for the rest of the year and did not know how she would pay her bills or anything! GOD did provide her an answer and HIS way always works for our good. It was just such a shock to her the way it was handled and the fact that it was, today is your last day!! You are in my thoughts and prayers,
