I cannot believe my morning today. First of all, I had an amazing night last night receiving counsel from some amazing men from my church. I came home feeling renewed. Yes, this is hard... but good things are to come from it. I KNOW this to be true.
I prayed one night this week to please let something go in my favor. Anything. Just something to help give me a sense of direction. So this morning I receive a text from a photographer that I met while doing a wedding a couple months ago... he told me that he has a job opportunity for me and would like to know if I'm interested.
Um, really? This job could not be any more perfect for me. The hours are super flexible. The pay is wonderful. The people that work there are super awesome (I met some of them at the photography workshop I did this year.) This job is actually a very coveted job by several photographers in this area. And the fact that HE CALLED ME... is beyond words amazing!! In his studio he even has a separate area that he made for kids if I ever had to bring my kids to work. Can we say perfect??
When I got off the phone I immediately went to tell my mom and her and I both started crying. I've struggled so much to know whether to quit my photography and go out and get a steady income job so I know I can support myself and my children. But the hardest thing about it was to leave my photography behind. This enables me to work with like-minded people and to continue on that artistic path. I feel so blessed.
The job is located an hour and a half away from where I currently live right now so I'm going to spend my weekend looking around at my options of where I can live.
I'm on the fence of what I should tell my H because I feel like where I go should be my own decision and not based off of what he wants. I want to do what's best for me and my kids. Thoughts on this? I don't think I'll be telling him about the job until everything is really set in motion.
The feeling I have right now is a huge sense of relief and a lot of happiness coming my way. I finally have a way to embrace my independence and love what I'm doing and still be a part of my childrens' lives.
