As the road turns... so are the journeys of my life.
I look at my (our) life right now and I smile. Things have changed. Yes, things are hard and we face new challanges every day. Don't we all? I can say that I am happy. We own a business that supports us and that not only allows us to have the freedom to be our own boss but allows Matt and I to both go to school. Along with that it allows us to spend a lot of time with Will. In this economy this is a big deal. I am proud of us and I am very proud of Matt. He works very hard to keep everything going and he never complains about the long hours or the little stresses about the business. We are blessed.
I finished the FOCUS seminar and I can truly say that it has changed my life. Not in a magic pill way but rather a lifestyle change attitude. I view a lot of things very differently and I have found a freedom to live my life the way that is best for me and my family. With that I am able to throw myself into my work and my family. I am loving where I am at. I love being in school and getting somewhere. It is challenging and I am remembering how I love stretching myself this way. The exciting thing about this school work is that it is all focused specifically on what I need to become a proficient and knowledgable midwife. I am involved with a homebirth practice and I feel like I have found where I am suppose to be. I wouldn't trade what I learned from the amazing women who gave me all that they could in the birthing center because it has set the foundation for the midwife I am becoming. I thank them for the skills and experience that I could not have received without them. Now that I am on a different side of things I do feel that homebirth is more of who I am.
Life is a journey and if there is one thing I have learned is that I can't plan. :) I can try, I can want things, I can dream and still only God knows the path that is set before me. It is what I choose to do with that path that makes all the difference. I thank God for all the people He has sent my way and for giving me the persistent spirit to not give up and to desire more out of life. I truly have been "ruined for the ordinary" (to all my YWAMers!) SO... here goes the next chapter of my journey...
