In two short days, I am leaving my job. The one I have had for the past three years. Where I have the ability to serve kids, and families, and help them through the difficulties in their lives.
It was a difficult decision to leave, but ultimately, I want to spend more time with my family. This time is fleeting, and even though I am taking a pay cut, I am moving to a job where I will work 2.5 less hours per day. This means 2.5 more hours with my baby boy!
I LOVE my job. I love serving others in this capacity and getting paid to do something enjoyable. It is hard to go. I have independence and flexibility and a work family. I have support and encouragement. I am asked to do things here that challenge me and give me an opportunity to grow. I love that.
But, as they say, "a baby changes everything". He does, and he changes me in the best possible way. I've come to accept that while I love my job, I love my baby more. And as Mumford and Sons likes to remind me "where you invest your love is where you invest your life". I am choosing to invest my love in my son, and therefore, I invest in life...and his.
Wish me luck ;)!
