Lately my husband has been struggling with his job and just being unhappy there. He's actually been trying to "make it work" for over a year of the last three years that he's been there. Being a full time student, employee, husband, daddy, & worship leader takes a lot of work and devotion. It's hard when God's voice is not clear. When you're searching and asking and you still don't know His answer.
The passion in me says to let it all go. That if it's not the right place for him then it's time to move on. I don't believe in being miserable and suffering just because there are "responsibilities" attached to my husband's job. Don't get me wrong, I understand that we have bills and babies to feed, but I believe in CHASING AFTER DREAMS. In FREEDOM. And sometimes I just want to throw caution to the wind for the sake of living...really living. And I believe that God calls us to live passionately for Him and to spread His love. I believe in Joy and Living and Grace and His Peace.
So we are Serving and Loving and Praying and Reading and Searching for His will the best that we know how.

we have been there, and God has asked both of us to leave jobs, not just once, but a few times. I wouldnt trade it for all the security in the world...learning and truly understanding how HE meets us when and where we need it is the most valuable treasure. I just prayed for peace and guidance for you guys, and for God to be clear.
Oh I love that verse by Robert Frost ... nice to find your blog :)
well said...praying for peace and wisdom :)
I find it hard to hear that voice or see clearly which way he's pointing, too. Best to you in these big decisions.
Thanks for popping out of the shadows over on my blog a couple weeks back. I'm terrible at keeping up with things, but wanted to pop over and say hello.
I love you, Willow Girl! You're ability to "see the little things" is what makes you such a wonderful friend...you always seem to know what I'm thinking and feeling, then respond in such loving ways! You are a blessing in my life and I'm so happy you've found a way to bless the multitudes with your insight, talents, beauty, thoughts,convictions, feelings, wisdom, honesty, strength, and love!
