Which Way Do I Go?

So much has been going on with me this past month, and alot of it I am still processing. But, I am beginning to see the cloud and fog lifting. I finally had that "good cry" and I am ready to move on. I am beginning to understand what has had me so down. When I found out that my job was ending, I told myself that this was the best thing that could happen to me because I got the chance to be whatever I wanted. I was getting a "do over", a "begin again". And after months of trying different avenues and seeing them end in dead ends or in frustration, I have begun to finally realized that I loved my engineering job. I love what I did, and I want to do that again. I don't need a new career; I just need to do what I'm good at and be content with that. I have tried several different jobs, and I have learned that some jobs are just plain hard. Lots of people work very hard and receive little compensation and little thanks for what they do. I have learned that you have to love what you do because the true reward is knowing that you've done a job well. I am still thankful for this time of transition and soul searching because it has made me realize that every person is important; every person has a story and most are dying to tell it. I am still praying that God will lead me where he wants me to be, and that I will willingly follow. I have no idea where I'll end up but I know it will be perfect because he is planning that for me. I'm trusting him.

Baseball and stuff

Mr T is playing baseball this year for the first time and those little guys are so cute out there in their uniforms. I don't care if he ever wants to play again; it was totally worth seeing him in the uniform. Too cute.

The last game, the coach called all the team in to give them a pep talk and say a quick prayer. Aren't we blessed to have a county team coach who wants to pray with the kids? The coach reminded them to watch the ball, play hard, do their best, and most importantly to have fun. This is when my little guy has to add, "And don't cheat." I don't know if I should be proud that he knows not to cheat or be worried that people think cheating is an issue in our home. :) Too cute. Just a side note, he also has to slide every time he reaches home. The only problem is he runs across the bag then slides. We might or might not need to work on that.
