Stay-at-Home Mom.
It makes me giggly just typing it and saying it in my head. I'm so excited that I want to go meet someone new just so when they ask what I do, I can say "I'm a stay-at-home mom." <insert silly grin>
I'm sure that it's not going to be all rainbows and butterflies, but at least on those bad days - when I get nothing done, my house is a wreck, and I've been having a battle of wills with Baby Girl - I will know that I'm where I'm supposed to be. Gone will be that nagging guilt that I'm not with my baby. Gone will be that ache reminding me that I'm not living my dream.
As usual, I have big dreams of what my new life and schedule will look like. I see daily craft time and reading time, a consistently clean house, and clean laundry that doesn't stay in the basket for a week. In reality, I know that it's not going to be picture-perfect...but it will be perfect for me.
I also know that this new phase of our life is going to require a new kind of faith and trust in God. We'll be relying on Him to provide me with enough freelance work to cover our bills. We'll be trusting Him to remain faithful in sustaining Daniel's job.
But, if Daniel and I's almost-five years of marriage have taught us anything - it's that God is Faithful, Constant, and the Great Provider.
Life is definitely a journey, with ups and downs - but I'm pretty pumped about this leg of it!
