I Get to be THERE!

This weekend just highlighted why I love working from home.  I got to be THERE.  Yep, THERE... for everything.  My daughter's concert, my friend's big news, my surgery, my son's camp out, my family movie day, etc.  I got to be THERE and I didn't have to scramble to get time off from work or figure out babysitting... I was just FREE! Free to be THERE and it's awesome!

I really enjoy the money, too, to pay for the surgery, the camp out, the movies and tonight my husband is taking our girls to the Carrie Underwood concert that is in town.

Six years ago, I was at a crossroads.  I wanted to feel fulfilled and have a wonderful life of fun, travel, friends and extras for my family.  It really has been the amazing life I always dreamed I could have.  Every year my girl friends and I take our Beach of the Year trip and my family travels to Hawaii.  Taking trips and doing fun things with my family and friends are the gauges of my success... not my bank account. If I'm traveling and having fun planning to travel, then I am at my best.

Being THERE is what I believe we are all called to do.  Just be.  It's so hard to be in the moment for me.  My friends tease me because I will plan a trip and in my mind, I've already been there and back, had a great time and I'm planning the next adventure.  I have to learn to live a little more in the moment.

God is so good and His plans are perfect!  I am learning that whatever happens, He is in control and the bigger plan will play out and we will be so amazed.
