I can relate--it is so hard giving up things that we are good at (that God has truly given us a gift for), but so freeing when we can let them go and trust Him to fulfill and reward us in these busy seasons of life. Good for you for making wise decisions! :) <br /><br />One thing I have noticed from reading your blog is that you truly have a gift for bringing beauty to all aspects of your life--your home, you children's clothes, your homeschooling, your blog--everything. SO...even though you may not be getting "paid" to do this in an official capacity, you are still bringing your Heavenly Father a smile on His face by using the gifts He has given you in your everyday life. I will pray that He will continue to confirm in your heart the path He is leading you on. :)Abby Huttohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056073914465107866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-18224941473443946292010-09-21T08:23:34.849-05:002010-09-21T08:23:34.849-05:00Thanks for representing in DC!

You are so lucky to be able to quit (and by that I mean reprioritize as necessary and put what's important first). I don't know a single mom that REALLY can "do it all." I know lots of moms with fab jobs that have tons of help and lots of moms that stay home and are WONDERFUL wives and moms, but to truly do it all?? I work {during tax season I work a lot}, and just about every single day I feel inadequate at one or the other...or both. Most days I'm a C+ mom, employee and wife (sadly, in that order). And I did NOT make C's in school :) So, good for you! I'm proud of your decision, though I know it was a difficult one to make!Rhonda Hennessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897696321934614173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-48290586599194386422010-09-18T21:03:49.457-05:002010-09-18T21:03:49.457-05:00Call me a space cadet, but all this time I had no ...Call me a space cadet, but all this time I had no idea that you were doing freelance! Wow, you did have a full plate. I'm praising God for you obedience to go where He is leading, even though it is hard, and I trust that you will find both blessing and peace in His place.<br /><br />I can't wait to hear more about your trip.<br /><br />Tell Sister that we cried at the end of the Little House series too.<br /><br />Jenn, you are a blessing to me.

Definitely bittersweet about little house, but you will LOVE Anne of Green Gables-we do!<br /><br />3. Freelance-had to pick my jaw up off the floor! So proud of you. I know that was such a hard decision and I totally understand the ego/pride issue. So excited for you and your family-definitely a new season! <br /><br />4.

In fact, to take a break from my pregnancy books, I pulled Green Gables off the shelf the other day and plan to re-read the series before baby girl comes.

I feel that way about singing right now.<br /><br />I still remember going to Missouri when we made our big trip back east. I was 8 years old and I was addicted the Little House on the Prairie books. We got to visit all the historal sights and see Ma and Pa's grave. It was so special to their home and really feel like they were real people.Stacie, A Firefighter's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14195223939229023945noreply@blogger.com
