I hate not blogging. These are the days I wants to savor and journal every day every moment because Faith is growing so fast! I am seriously watching her play on the floor right now thinking how the heck did my baby girl get so big!
But lately as much as I Have to say it seems everything is second to one major thing going on in our life. My husband resigned from his job last week. His last day of work will be March 4th 2010, from there....we don't know what awaits us. I can't really say why or circumstances behind the whole thing except let me just say this to get your mind to see how truly passionate he felt about his decision. My husband resigned from his stable job of 6 years with nothing lined up. In this economy with a daughter and a wife he still felt resigning was the right thing to do. I think that speaks mountains if you really think about it.
How I am feeling about the whole thing you may ask? Honestly proud. I am proud of my husband for following his heart. At the end of the day I do think that is all that matters. I wrote a great big blog post about the whole thing ( I was proud of that post too LOL) but I can't really post it but if you have any interest at all in reading it just post a comment and I can email it to you. Its more just about what's behind my husbands heart reasons for leaving.
So yes I am proud of my husband. He is the most passionate man I know and I found great joy recently in being a submissive wife. My husband is following God so I can follow my husband. I love how God protects a woman's heart through the natural way he designed things to be. My husband, as God designed leader of the home and protector of my heart, made the best decision for our family and I can know that and trust that.
I have no idea what the future holds for us. I know the odds of us relocating out of state are high. I know the odds of many big changes in our life are high and I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't a little bit scared of it all but at the end of the day I know that God works for the good of those who love Him, I know He gives us hope and a future and I know with all my heart that my husband made the right decision for our future.
And I couldn't be more proud...
Please keep us in your prayers. For the right situation to present itself to us job wise and just pray for our hearts. Its very hard in this world to go against what is popular. It creates fear and doubt so please pray for reassurance in our hearts and overall peace and joy.

You and your family are in my prayers. As you know, Jay has been on the job hunt too for a few months. I know and trust that God will lead us (and our husbands) down the right path towards our brightest future! He brought us our beautiful daughters!
Wow, that does speak volumes that he felt so passionately about leaving his job, like you said, in this economy.
I will keep you guys in my prayers! I know it can be tough not knowing what the next step is!
Praying for you all, I have had the desire to move on to other "BETTER" things for a long time now, but have not found that courage yet, even though I don't know this situation, I know the general feeling of doing what's right, I'm dealing with it too...maybe one day I'll get that nerve that I need to move on! PRAYING for you!

I would love to read that post. My husband is thinking of leaving his job, and it just scares me. Yes, I know God will provide. But since he decided I could quit my job to be home with our Little Man, I just can't imagine him transitioning to a new job OR being unemployed. I applaud your faith and would love to read your feelings, if you don't mind sharing...

Your faith is amazing and an example to me. Praying that God leads you quickly to the next wonderful chapter in your lives. I would be interested in reading the unposted post (alysonandjason@gmail.com). Keep your spirits up!
Aww..Girly! I am praying for you!!! Oklahoma is a great state..LOL..
Wow! You sound very much at peace with this decision...awesome! I'll be thinking of you and your family for the next big adventure!
I'm so sorry that your husband had such a hard time with his work. I am with you though, there must have been a dang good reason. So my prayers are most definitely with you guys. God will take you were you belong and it will be the best place for your family.
Thinking of you guys.
Definitely will pray. We have been in the job hunt/moving process for 6 months now and while it's been crazy and at times stressful, God has truly given us peace. And, my husband got at job today! So we too will be moving out of state. Anyway, you will be in my prayers.
First of all, your baby girl is getting so big and she's beautiful! Secondly, I can sort of relate to your situation. My husband has been working for the same company for the past 7 years and just recently he has really been struggling with the people he works with. He's mentioned applying for some other jobs, but with the economy the way it is he's not sure what he'll be able to find. I've always told him that I trust him and I know he will make the best decision. I'm trying to be supportive, but it's hard when I start thinking about the bills. I commend you for having a great attitude and outlook during this difficult time. I'll make sure to keep your family in my prayers.
Wow.
Yes, I'm interested in reading your post. My email is onesweetworld67 (at) gmail (dot) com.
Also, I like what you said about "not going with what is popular". So true.
I'm saying a prayer for you. I left my job without notice almost 2 years ago without anything lined up and with the support of my husband. God works in wonderous ways and he will provide.
This must have been a very difficult choice to make; I pray God blesses you both for how you have chosen to honor Him.
I wanted to link to your post "My Heart is Overflowing" in an upcoming post if that is okay. I was really struggling with whether my heart would still hurt like it does now once we adopt. That post really ministered to me.
I will keep your family in my prayers ((HUGS))
Wow! Heavy stuff. I will be praying for you and your sweet family! But if you do move, I would hope that we could hang out just once before you go;)
Sending good wishes your way that everything works out for your family. I hope the anxiety remains as low as possible during this time and that a better situation presents itself for your hubby very soon. Hang in there.
#1. TMI!!! "I found great joy recently in being a submissive wife." You probably wrote more after that, but my attention was fried.
#2. May I suggest Madison, WI? I hear it's VERY nice.
I'm interested in reading the post. My email addy is Brianne.leolani at gmail dot com. We have also made a huge move back to my childhood hometown, which resulted in me quitting my job (and I was the larger inco
e) but it was all to ensure that kaua grow up around family. The adjustment is tough but I have faith that it will all be good because God has lead us here. I know He will also be taking care of you.
Since we love and care for you all I would like to read the post you couldn't post.......
