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 coffee

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a
