When the Ladies were born I made a vow to the Lord that I would not take their childhood for granted. I desperately wanted to be a stay at home mom and the Lord granted me what I asked of Him. When #littlebit started school I wanted to get my degree and work outside my home. And I did so.
I enjoy working. My mind goes nonstop from the time I wake up until it finally crashes at night. I swear I have an undiagnosed attention span disorder. My first job after being a stay at home mom was in an insurance office. I loved my time there. Then, if you’ll remember with me, I took a job with Dad. I spent about 6 months with Dad before I landed my dream job with the Midwest City Chamber of Commerce. My Chamber job encompassed all of my passions! I was out in the community I love, talking about places I like, with people I know. It really cannot get better than that! I had an office with a window and super fab decorations. But….
I realized, not too long ago, that I was missing things with The Ladies that I did not want to miss. I was having to sacrifice cheering time at ball games. I was having to rely on others to get them to all the places they needed to be. I felt rushed and scattered all the time. I spent about two days in deep conversations with Jesus and He again reminded me that they’re only with me for a short time then I have to send them out into the world and pray I have prepared them for success. So I made a decision that I trust He will bless. I quit my job.
Taking that kind of faith jump is TERRIFYING! I am trusting Him that He knows what He’s doing. I have met with all the appropriate people (lawyers, CPA’s, bankers) and have a plan but I am still skeered. I know I have made the right decision and I know that The Ladies will be the benefactors of such an unconventional decision, however, I am a little nervous. I will still work only now I will office out of my kitchen. I will have many plates still spinning but I get to set my own schedule. I’ll be owner, manager, CEO, mom, maid, cook and taxi driver. Stick with me and see where this adventure takes me.
And my new business name:

Because I don't know what I wannabe professionally.
