Working Mom?

I graduated in May with a degree in Social Work. I haven’t gone to work yet. I was so excited about finding a job. I actually interviewed for a child welfare job and was offered the job but I declined because it sounded so demanding that I didn’t think I could be the Mom and wife that I want to be with all the demands that are required of a child welfare social worker. There have been other jobs come up that I think are more suitable for me but they always go to someone who is already working, usually in child welfare. I have decided that I may have to work in child welfare in order to be in a position to apply for other jobs when they come up. There is a position coming up in Blaine County. I think I am going to apply. I may not get the job but I need to at least try so I can begin to build some work experience. I am concerned about how Katy will react to me not being here when she gets home from school. She doesn’t get off the bus until 4:15 and I should be able to be home by 5:45. Clint will be here most of the time. I will have to figure out what to do about the times he can’t be here. I really want to have a job where I can make a difference to those that need help. I just wish it was a job that ended at 3:00 or 4:00. I have been in prayer about this for a while now. I know that God will put me where he knows I should be and we will work out all the kinks.

  1. Mom, I have been praying that the "right job" will come available for you. I know it is tough decision, but God will let you know when the right one comes along...
