For this past year, I’ve been working 6 days a week. My thoughts were focused on working a 40 hour job and working at two other one-day jobs. The focus of my life was torn. Mostly focused on getting money and then what was left over went to my family.

But now life has changed. To quote Joseph from the Old Testament King James Bible, while he wept from a heart full of past hardship, <em>”What man intended for evil, God intended for good.” He spoke these words to all his brothers who had placed him in years of hardship, and then afterwards he arose to a mighty and respectable position in the house of Pharoah.
I can relate. What the former boss intended for evil (to get even) in my life God can make good out of and I can spend more time with my children and spend this summer teaching them how to be their best. 🙂
Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last!” Those words rang out loudly and with passion from Martin Luther King, Jr. as he gave his famous speech.
I can relate. I shed no tears when I left my job that I had so many times in the years of doing it, frustratingly threatened my husband that I would not go back to the following day. (Sighhhhhhh. . .I’m glad I know longer work there. I’m through with that dead end job. I kinda feel sorry for the person who fired me. He’s stuck in a career in which he has abused his authority over his employees and misused his power by lying. I suppose he has shown those above him that he can take care of any situation that comes his way. On the other hand, I plan to enjoy my family while we volunteer to help others and I teach them how, firsthand (from me) to be a good honest worker!
Now I’m on God’s payroll. (You might think I’m weird now, since I believe in God’s control over my life so much, but I don’t care what you think!) While I’m at home with my four kids I’m going to work hard just as if I were on a regular job. My intentions are to stay busy and not get lazy all day long. And thank God that I’m with my kids and, I am going to . . .I love this part! . . . take back control of my household. I never, never want to forget that it is a privilege to be at home with my children and from time to time, when I get frustrated or take being around my kids so much, for granted, I want to stop and remember how it was for the 10 years that I had to work!!
They are the biggest focus of my life now . . . Yessssssss!
