Update.

I just wanted to update everyone on how I'm doing post working-world.  Well, I'm still in the working-world.  BUT, I'm getting much more sleep.

I'm working at the nursery, where I'm blessed to be able to take Jovie.  I'm also continually blogging for a real estate company - and still learning the ropes there.  I'm taking pictures.  And..I've put up my etsy shop! Sounds crazy, but I do those things during normal business hours...and Jovie is always with me!

In the meantime, since quitting, I have much more patience with Jovie and with Rhett...but I admit, I'm still working on it.  I still get upset if we don't get things done on our to-do list.  

That's because...the news world is a world of getting things done...now.  You're always on deadline because you're going on TV whether you're ready or not.  I've had that mentality for about 4 years now, if not before then...throughout college as I was preparing for a job.  

I hope Jovie doesn't develop that same characteristic - always go, go, go.  I'll be honest, I make myself so busy I hardly do quiet times with God, lest I need something.  I find I always pray when I need something, so when I don't need something...I'm almost embarrassed to come to Him.  And because I'm so used to things being on deadline, when God doesn't answer right away, I get frustrated.  That just sounds ugly coming out...but it's the truth and I know God loves me even though I have that issue.  We all have issues.  I'm working on it though, I promise.

I hope that soon I'll be able to slow down mentally.  Meanwhile, Jovie isn't slowing down because she's growing up SO fast! 

 

Today, I'm thankful for God's grace.  I know I need it.
