changes come

8:00 on Friday night, and I'm home working after a long day of working another job. I'm in desperate need of someone/something to keep me awake. This moment is evidence that three jobs is just too much for me . . . which is reassuring because I quit one of them yesterday. I've been seriously praying about/rethinking my life over the past couple of weeks, which led me to make the decision to restructure my employment. For quite awhile, I've wanted to quit, but because of the people I had grown to love, I continued, but recently, I just had an overwhelming sense that it was time to make a change . . . for many reasons. The decision was not easy, and I really am sad to go.

As for the next few months, I have no idea what I'll be doing for money. I have several editing/writing jobs lined up, but I never really know if more will follow. The work flow has been good over the past year and a half, so I'm choosing to believe it will continue, but I also recognize that it could stop at any given moment. Right now, the tentative plan is to continue writing/editing, pursue more of it, and get a job for the summer with a temp agency. In the fall, hopefully I'll have more editing work coming in, and I'll simply do it and assist part-time at the preschool. All this speculation makes me slightly sick to my stomach, but moment by moment, I'm handing all that nausea over to God, asking him to give me vision, assurance, faith, and hope. When has he ever let me down?

Well, back to work for me . . . I'm a little more awake now. :)

Oh, and happy 1st birthday to my niece, Claira!
