When did work become more important than family?

I had to make a choice today. . .

At a job I love and have really enjoyed, I was made to feel that I should choose it over a very special family event upcoming in June.

Was it a hard choice? not at all

Was it life changing? somewhat

Are we made to feel that employers come before family? YES

Would I make the same choice again? YES

Did my husband support and encourage me in the choice I needed to make? YES

See, to me family is everything. If I am put in a place to choose. . . .and it between you and family & you are not family. . .so sorry. The world today has jumbled it's priorities. My husband is my best friend, my kids are so special to me, my grand-kids are a rare treasure. I could not even fathom missing the arrival of my precious granddaughter!

So as freaked out as I am. I know that God will take care of me. He will guide and provide. He is ever faithful. If it weren't for my God, I would probably be insane by now. Because left to my own devices, I would freak out & worry ALOT.

The worst part about today. . .my character was brought into question. I was told I was not dependable and that I was demanding. Well, maybe according to this person, but, that is not true. So, I stepped outside of my usual "don't ruffle any feathers" mode and stood up for myself.

So. . .here I stand at a new crossroad. . .I am very interested in seeing what is up around the bend. . .AND I get to now spend MORE time with my precious Ava when she makes her entry!!!

I LOVE BEING A GRANDMOTHER!!!!
