Happy New Year

Well, its that time of year again. A time of resolutions and of new beginnings. I haven't written in so long and it's been even longer since I wrote regularly. I admit this feels a little daunting. 

At the end of August I took a job as a secretary in a doctor's office. There are so many stories I wish I could tell, but privacy keeps my page blank. So, I've struggled with what to write about. Which is something I've never had a problem doing. Ask anyone...I never shut up. 

I've also been embarrassed. I'm not working where I thought I would be. When I went back to school, I truly felt called, and assumed there was some amazing plan for my new career. God has another plan in mind. I take comfort knowing he's not done with me yet. And I'm hoping the path I see now is what He had in mind. Sorry, that's all I'm giving you on that front. 

All this leads me back to what to write about? You must have seen or heard about people filling a jar with their blessings? Well, since I'm working in a job I don't always feel grateful for I decided that I need to constantly remind myself of the good things in my life.

So, from time to time I'm going to blog about things I'm feeling particularly grateful for.

Tonight I am especially grateful for my amazing husband who I've been with for nearly 10 years!  Tomorrow is his birthday! I don't know what I'd do without him! He's the love of my life.

Happy Birthday Baby!

A Thankful Heart

I had an amazing day yesterday! I woke up to find I've lost 3 lbs this week! I managed to revamp Being eLLe and finally get my post up. A little later I received word that I'm finally getting a regular job with my husband's cleaning company. I'll be working 2.5 hours daily from Monday - Friday and 5 hours on Saturdays.

It has been such a struggle to wait for God's timing in this. Looking back I can see where God nudged me to get through my struggles. Seeing forward is a mystery to me and so hard to trust that everything will work out when I can't see the way through. God can see the path clearly and after a day like yesterday I am so thankful and beautifully reminded of God's love for me even when I am afraid.

Oh, in case you're wondering, yes, I'm quite pleased to have any job right now, especially one that works with my family. I haven't given up on my career, I'm still trying to discern what's next for me in that department. That's a whole other post that I will get to soon.

For now I'm just happy that I'll be working again and that I'll be contributing financially to my household.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend full of God's richest blessings!
