Trials and awakenings

I have worked with children almost all of my adult life.  As I lost a daycare client this past August, I questioned my choices and myself quite heavily.  This family chose to leave after a conflict I brought to their attention for my well being and the mom, who I had befriended, immediately cut off all contact with me.  This became a personal wound as well as a financial problem.  I felt lost.  Where do I go from here?

My children have always been the most important to me.  I began staying at home while I was pregnant with Sassy and until this point never looked back.  Now I was faced with the real possibility of HAVING to return to work, even though James won't go to school until September.  Thankfully God had me in his sights already because he had led me to a great group of ladies in a lifegroup at my church.  My faith in his lead and trusting and following his path have definitely been tested but being able to check in with these ladies has helped me to keep myself on his true path for sure.

This story does not yet have a true answer, I have just added a new client and have some other possibles as well.  I have sent resumes and had interviews but staying home still feels right.

Out of my trial my trust has been reawakened!
