I am so blessed by your story and reminded that having complete faith and trust in God is KEY to living a life for His glory. I am so excited about what this year will hold for you and I know that you'll be such a great teacher AND mother in this stage of your life! So incredible how the Lord works in us and through us and for us. He is faithful. Staying home is already a conversation that we've talked about and are already trying to plan for. Thank you for the reminder to pray about every decision. I want to be right in His will. Yay, Cait! So excited for you!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518014035115413679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331519254072473245.post-63437836196431030722012-08-01T12:01:12.466-04:002012-08-01T12:01:12.466-04:00I was on my husband's username earlier and pos...I was on my husband's username earlier and posted on your blog and then deleted it. haha. This is what I said, Congratulations! It's so awesome that you can do what you love to do and also still be able to spend time with your babes.

I would love to find a way to us to afford for me to work part time, right now it just doesn't seem to be in the budget.

What a wonderful testimony to just how powerful He is! I am so very happy for you. You deserve this wonderful blessing and I know you will be such a fabulous art teacher and stay-at-home Momma. I have loved staying at home with Emerson and consider it one of my very biggest blessings! Unfortunately our budget will change tremendously when we move back to the States so it just might not be an option anymore. I am going to remember your story and hand it over to God. I know for sure that He knows what is right for our family, just like he did for yours.
