Just Counting my Blessings

Its almost Sunday morning (officially) and I am reading up on some devotions. I am staying up way too late the night before church but my husband has a lot of company left (card game going on) and I dont want to be a bad host. At any rate it gives me time to catch up on my bible devotions. And some time to reflect. God has really blessed my life and I want to publicly thank Him for that. This time last year I was working a miserable job with miserable people. I was the only christian there and all I wanted was to be at home with my girls. As I grew in my relationship with Christ he rewarded me with showing me that He knows the desires of my heart and wants me to be happy in this life. I prayed and prayed for answers on what to do about my job situation. I thought that maybe finding a new job was the answer and I started looking around. I applied for a job that I thought I would like better and had a interview lined up. I was still really confused about what direction to take and wasnt really sure this new job was right for me either. I think that the real issue was that in my heart no job would be the one I wanted. The real job I wanted was to just be Mommy 24-7 and devote my time to my family. Financially however it just didnt work out (and I tried to figure it out nearly every day). Well, two days before I was scheduled to go to the job interview I took a pregnancy test. I really didnt think it would be positive but I was late and wanted to make sure. Much to my surprise I was pregnant. I called and canceled the interview and kept praying for answers. I sat down one more time and worked out a new budget. Much to my surprise it worked this time! I talked to my husband (Frog) and he agreed that I should quit my job a couple of months before the baby came. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. God not only answered my prayer but He gave me such a wonderful gift. Even on the days I think I am going to go crazy because the Princesses are driving me nuts I still thank Him for this opportunity.

Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.Psalm 37:3-5
