Inspiration- You Can Do It

Dear Busy Moms,
How is life treating you? How are you feeling about where you are today? How are you feeling about you? My hope is that your responses were overflowing with positivity and you are in a happy place with your life as it is now. 
However, if your thoughts turned Eeyore (sort of gloomy), I'm here to say I understand... Now do something about it. 
So many times people lay down and allow life to beat the crap out of them. They stick with a job they hate, put up with people who put them down, and miss out on various opportunities. Why? Because they are comfortable or powerless. Because it's what they've been doing. Because the don't have the time or the money. 
Busy moms, I'm here to tell you, "You are worth it." and "You can do it."

Personal Story
I got out of the army in April of 2005. I was a newly web mother of 1... 2 counting the addition of my beautiful step daughter. I began working immediately as a bank teller, but that wasn't my goal. I wanted more. I wanted to go back to school and in August of that same year, I did. Granted , I had to quit my banking job because the hours didn't fit my schooling. I didn't panic. God is good. I got a temp job at a inbound phone call center. Did I mention I was 4 months pregnant at the time? I had AJ in January. I had to quit my job because I was still in school with a newborn and the hours didn't work. God provided. Fall came around and I started working again at another phone call center that was open 24 hrs so I could take day classes or night classes. Spring came around and what do you know... I am expecting again. I continue with my last year of undergraduate school. In November, I gave birth to my son and quit my job. In December, I took finals. In January, I began my internship at an elementary school. Still God Provides. I was offered a job at the school. I accepted it, grateful that my journey put me where I wanted and needed to be at the time. 

Now, granted some of you have done things more difficult than this. Many of you have done it alone. But my story is simply a testament to the fact that if you have a goal and a belief in God, anything is possible.
So if you are not happy with your job, your friends, your location, your life... Plan to make a change. Put God into your plan. Then start working. 
You can do it.
