In the midst of struggles, I've noticed that God often provides some kind of outlet, some blessing that makes getting by much easier.
For me, I've finally been able to quit my second job.
This job has been a blessing in many ways over the past several months, helping us to completely pay off our consumer debt. But since May, the job has gone steadily downhill. I cut back to one day a week, but even that one day has been so difficult. Miscarrying has provided the "excuse" I needed to leave completely.
So, starting yesterday, I have my Tuesdays free to do what I need/want. Yesterday I did laundry, made bread, and spent hours sorting through the local thrift stores to find a summer wardobe. My husband came home to a happy, relaxed wife and dinner nearly finished.
Days like that reinforce the desire of my heart to keep a home and a family rather than pursue a career. I have one more semester of college to complete before that will be a reality. Shh don't tell... but I've already started the countdown on my wall calendar!

Wonderful! What a nice thing to be able to have more time to devote to home making. I have found a happy wife makes a happy husband and I was so happy when I quit my job to stay home!!
Thrift shopping for a summer wardrobe sounds so fun. That is something I need to do too - before summer is over!
