Last night (Monday night), I worked my last shift at the restaurant. Hubby and I decided that it was time for me to quit that job. And then he had to convince me to do it. I'm a little stubborn. ;) We decided we didn't need it anymore, but I'm stubborn and kept working anyway. So I put my notice in and worked my last three shifts.
Monday afternoon, I was feeling pretty neutral about my last shift. Once I arrived at the restaurant, I started getting excited. It was a good night at the restaurant, but I'm so glad to be done.
I texted my mom and sister as I walked out at the end of the night. I talked about one chapter closing and another exciting one opening. God is blessing my photography business and put on my heart the desire to start sewing and selling scrunchies, barrette scrunchies and other things. Both of which I am excited for.
I drove home happy and satisfied.
As I unlocked the door to get into our apartment building, I thought about the fact that I was now down to one paycheck. The thought brought relief, gratitude and excitement. A weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I wanted to cry. I'm excited to have my Monday night back and the energy that goes with that. I am excited to have my evenings back and do with them as I please. (Yes, it was only one night a week, but the next evening, I would spend it on the couch tired). I am grateful for this past season and what it did for my family, and I am excited for this next season and what God has in store for my family.
I am also proud of myself for holding a second job for a year and a half (banquet hall for six months and then dishwasher job for a year). And I am proud of myself for putting in my notice and walking away.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
