where do I go from here?

It's a bittersweet time for me.  I am leaving the first job that I actually enjoy getting out of bed for.  I don't hate it there... I don't hate the people... I don't hate the work...I don't hate it at all.  But - now that Jane is in the picture, I do hate being away from her.  I hate not knowing what she is doing.  I wasn't there when she held her bottle for the first time.  I wasn't there when she started sitting in the "sassy" (one of those door-jumper things).  I don't want to miss any more of those little firsts....and I want to remember to take a million photos along the way. 

I have so many dreams for Jane.  I want her to serve.  I want her to love.  I want her to sleep through the night.  I cherish my sleep.  I know that most moms would love to have a baby that only gets up once, but really... I want to have a baby that gets up no times.  :-)

But really... how do I get where I want to go?  I have so many ideas floating around in this head of mine.  I don't know which of them are do-able.  I don't know which ones I have time for, and which ones I don't.  Here are some of my ideas:

  • a book of letters to Jane from her mom (and sometimes dad!)  I want her to know what was going on while she was growing up... and I want this to be a special gift years from now...
  • some sort of grocery business... shopping for people, couponing for people, teaching classes...
  • or... another way to bring in a little income for us
  • exercising
  • blogging
  • reading
  • serving
  • cooking (this has ALWAYS been my passion!)
  • intentionally getting to know three echoers and living life with them
so, where do I go from here?  I do know, however, the answer is not too far away...I serve and love a God who is faithful and won't let me go too astray.

love wins,
rebecca
