What a weekend...

Saturday was a very sad day indeed, with one of my friends' dads funeral. It was beautifully done and a lot of people were there. My heart is aching for what she must be going through, and I find myself very melancholy the last two days. Please pray for the Stoeckel family...

I am getting some good ideas from people for stay at home work. I am blessed with people everywhere who are thinking about me....thank you.

And yes readers, I quit my job! My last day is August 28th. I feel a weight lifted, and I am ready to follow my heart and my soul, wherever it may lead!

Oh Megan I'm so glad for you...In situations like what you just faced (w/ quitting your job) I think of the Indiana Jones movie (dork, I know) where Harrison Ford is at the edge of a canyon and his map/riddle is telling him to STEP OFF the cliff, even though there is a drop off to his death if he does. He closes his eyes and steps forward, only to realize it is solid ground, a camoflauged path. Sorry if using I.J. as an example of faith is rediculous, but I just always think that's what God calls us to do sometimes. Deep breath, QUIT, and he provides. Can't wait to see the ways this is great for your family...

Like Jenni said, sometimes you just have to take that leap. Somehow God/the universe/life will show you the path you are supposed to turn down. That leap is not easy, but worth it in the end. GO MEGAN!

God knows the desires of your heart and He will always provide a way:) Blessings to you for taking that first step out onto the water with your eyes on Jesus!!!

Hey Megan- was that Brooke's Dad? How horrible--I just saw it in the paper.

CONGRATULATIONS MEGAN! When I quit my job over 4 years ago it was the same thing. I explain it as having to jump in completely, feet first in order for God to know I was truly committed to following His plan and not mine! Today I sit, 4 children later, happy, humble and provided for. CONGRATS!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...
