I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do in the future. Justin is in school to be a teacher, I know I want to be a stay at home mom once we have kids if its financially possible. I've felt a lot of pressure to go to college even though I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, or if it would even be worth it to go for four years and spend thousands of dollars and then be a stay at home mom as soon as I graduate. I was feeling really torn about what to do and wanting to please everyone but also do what was best for me. I was just kind of out of it all day thinking about it. I was shopping in the mall and saw a friend I hadn't seen in awhile, an older woman I look up to and respect very much. She asked how Justin and I were doing and asked if I was in school. I started to say the usual "Oh I'm waiting until he's done." (which isn't really true.) but then changed my mind and said "You know, I really don't know what I want to do. I'm still kind of deciding, I may go to school when he's done, or I may just not go to school and be a stay at home mom." She looked at me and said "You know what? There is nothing wrong with that, staying home with my kids was the best decision I ever made." That one little comment just completely made my day, I was amazed at how God works and how he had worked that into our conversation, and how I had run into her out of the blue, and how she probably didn't know and will never know how much that meant to me. God is awesome! :)
