Today i had to make a very hard decision, one that my husband and i have been thinking about and praying about for, for sometime now. I have stuck it out for as long as i can.. and it's time....
For those of you have been hearing me whine and complain about my day job.(sorry!) will no longer be hearing me whine about that.
As of today, i have resigned. My last day at IBA will be September the 12th.
I am blessed in so many ways. I was blessed in having such a great job to go to each day. (even though i complained so much.. :-( I was blessed in getting to know the people that i got to know, as i did develop some close relationships with my work colleagues along the way. (even though some of them were a little different!) haha....
I am blessed for having such a supportive, loving and sacrificial husband. I love you Dan, so very much.

I have no regrets. I am thankful to the Lord above, for providing me with such a great opportunity at such a young age, when i joined the Public Service. He took care of me from day 1, and i don't doubt that he will not continue to along the way. Some would say i am silly to throw away such a great job, which pays reasonable money, and has the best conditions. I say, it is just a personal sacrifice that i NEED to make at this point and time in my life. I know in my heart of hearts that it's the right thing, otherwise i wouldn't have done it, today.
There are far to many more important issues, and things in life to think about, and deal with.
Plus, i'd much rather be happy in the job that i have to do. I have stuck at it for many years, hating having to go there... hating to get up every morning and go to a job that i didnt enjoy anymore.
Maybe i will regret it in a couple of days, weeks or months. But that is my road to travel down, and to learn from. Life is all about learning, and drawing from experiences in life and learning as much as you can from them. I learnt alot in the last 5 years of working there. At the end of the day, there were a number of issues that were pointing to me leaving... and i just had to do it. Sooner, rather than later.
For now, i have a peace in my heart, that passes all understanding. For some, that will be hard to understand. For me... it is not.
The plan for the next couple of busy months is to keep busy at home organising things, and finishing off things that need to be done! That will be a HUGE Burden lifted off me also.
I am sure it's going to be a HUGE adjustment for us, but one that is manageable. If we can't adjust, then i will be back at work again as soon as i can.
We must always remember, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me..."
In closing.. I hope you all have a lovely week!
Talk soon...

God bless your courage. God bless your husband for his strength. God bless you both for your faith. Congratulations! For more Christians to step out in faith like you are doing! Brings a tear to my eye.
I think you both made the right decision. You will now be able to focus on being the wife and homemaker that I know you desire to be. :-)Even though a lot of women juggle a day job and their home duties, I am convinced that the most important job in their lives cannot be done as well as it would be if they spent their days at home.
God bless you in this new phase of your married life! :-)
Im happy for you Sweetie!
Big hugs,

I'm happy for you! :)
