It Is Time

As the teacher wife of a part time youth minister and mother of two amazing kids, I am always looking for ways to make more money. This year is particularly bad. With a $75 raise in our health insurance for The Rev. and our kids, a $100 student loan payment that must now be made, and two kids wanting to be involved in activities, we are feeling the budget squeeze.

So, as I did 6 years ago when I began coaching, I am beginning another part time job. This time it is something even more out of my comfort zone than coaching sports I've never played. I am an independent Arbonne consultant.  

Network marketing has always terrified me. I've always gone to parties and thought man, I wish I could do that to make some extra cash but there is no way I know enough people. However, the newest regional Vice President has assured me that it is easier than I think.

I am terrified, I am anxious, and I am excited. I am terrified that I will fail, I am anxious about meeting new people, and I am excited that it might actually work.  How crazy would it be if I could actually spend a year of my life at home with my daughter and being my son's home room mom?  Ultimately when I think about my reasons they come down to something much more emotional than needing extra money or schedule conflicts...it all boils down to wanting to spend more time with my children. I've missed so much of their lives with work that my heart aches when I think about the loss.

I having been praying since making this decision that I can at least make enough money to quit the coaching job that takes me away from my babies every afternoon but in all reality I should be praying to make enough money to take time off from teaching to spend it with my kids.

I ask that you might pray for my adventure to go beyond well. Thank you!
