I had two very different careers before becoming a stay-at-home-mom. I was in ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at UNH for several years and then I transitioned to a job in fundraising at Phillips Exeter Academy. I did a presentation tonight at church on God and the Workplace; it went well and I was thankful for the opportunity to share my experiences. I shared about building your faith outside of work, finding fellowship on the job, viewing work as an act of worship, and sharing your faith with co-workers. Stella hung out in the nursery and had a great time.
When I got home I put my daughter to bed. For the past few nights I've gotten pretty emotional before laying her down in her crib. I pray for her while she sucks her thumb and she rests her head on my shoulder - she would stay there until she fell asleep if I let her...sometimes I do. I don't ever want those moments to end. I love my new career.
Love this.
