This has been such an interesting season of life for my family and I. We’ve been trying to get pregnant for about a year now and although that may not seem like a long time for some people, it has felt like an eternity for us. In addition to having fertility challenges, my job will be officially ending at the end of next month. Although I will be starting a new season with my doula work, the thought of not having that “corporate stability” that I was used to is scary. As much as I hate it, in order for one to grow, we must go through different seasons of life.
We’ve also added something new to our plates. We’ve decided that my husband should put himself back on the market for a new job. His job pays well and is literally 3 minutes from our home, but with us losing the insurance that I had as well as my income, we felt like we needed to explore some other options. We’re praying that God will lead him in the right direction and will open any doors that He wants to open. I know…so much happening right now. We’re trusting God for strength and wisdom as we walk this path.
I’ve had many different seasons in my life and no matter what, everything always works out the way it’s supposed to. Even when things seem to be going completely crazy, God still shows up in an amazing way. I may not always get what I want, but I can’t deny that I ALWAYS have what I need. Everyday I remind myself to cast my worries and cares on God because he cares for me. He always has and always will.
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
