Overjoyed to share this news. On 2/1/21 I resigned from my corporate career. In Oct I went on a medical leave of absence to care for things at home & my own stress related illnesses. I did a ton of soul-searching, begging, & pleading w/God. As 2/1 & return to work approached 1/?
The thought of returning to work while being a 24/7 care person left me in tears for weeks & weeks. Stress skyrocketed. Sleepless nights returned. Exhaustion when I have not been exhausted for years. Mentally drained. It became overwhelming clear to me I have a choice 2/?
A difficult choice, but one fully made clear through a recent study of Ephesians & many hours of prayer. Paul asks in Eph 5: Is it good, right, true? Does it please the Lord? And then I realized, living life so stressed out is no good for me, for my family, for anyone...3/?
And so I took the biggest leap of faith giving up the security of a very lucrative career for a new income of who knows what? This is the biggest decision our family has faced in our journey of recent years. Do I trust a paycheck & live unwell, or do I trust God &...4/?
His provisions? It all became perfectly clear, & thru everything He’s taught me in this joyful journey of healing...HE will provide. It’s time to fully 100% put faith & family first. I’ve never been motivated by money, but I repent of my lack of faith & all the “what if” ?s...5/?
I regret I took too long to get to this point. Stress is a beast. God does not want us to live this stressed out. And so I release one of the dresses in my life and trust God to continue to light up this joy fueled journey I’ve been on for Him. I’ll be full time... 6/?
In a job for Jesus. What’s that look like? I have some ideas & I’m sure it will be exciting. Best of all, my son will be well cared for, I can take him on more adventures, & I’ll have time to serve the women I live with hope for healing

My husband will be happy I’ve stopped crying all the time! If you have extraordinary stress in your life, DO NOT BE AFRAID to make changes. Sometimes fear paralyzed me, but fear is a liar. KICK IT to the curb. Now, another thing I’ll be doing is reversing the damage done END.
END.
