I am different; We are different

Not sure how it is possible that 9+ months have gone by with this terrible Covid Pandemic. Its seems to last forever, but also goes so quick.

So much has happened. My life is so different then it was in March. I'm different, we as a people are different.

This situation really helps you learn about how people cope in a crisis like this. I learned a lot about myself, my family, my friends and my community. It remains true that my children and family are my #1 priority and I have learned how to keep/make them that way.

During these past 9 months, I have taken on a wonderful, but demanding job that I absolutely loved. I gave my whole heart and soul and every ounce of myself self to it, and looovvved it! BUT the time, effort and emotion and it took was more than I could give- so I neededtomake a change. This is a huge growth for me as I was able to realize it and accept it. Of course the hardest part for me was worrying about those that I work with & what they might need from me. It could have been an amazing opportunity for success, but I chose to step down into a less demanding role. In a way, a self demotion. It was hard, still is, but I believe it was right.

Now, I will be able to spend more time with my kids, teaching homeschool, church and life...

Sometimes it is hard to make decisions, especially those that have to do with money, but I am thankful that God has given me the blessings that he does, and a husband that supports my priorities. I truly believe God will make us uncomfortable in situations we should not be in.

2020 has definitely proven to be a challenging year! There has been a lot of sadness, loss & hurt but also growth.
