It has been over a month now since I have worked an extra shift. I think I have mentioned my work situation before…I am scheduled to work two days a week and i anticipate picking up an extra shift every two weeks (for time and a half). For the last year, they would call every day to see if I wanted to work an extra shift, we were so short of nurses. Well, we’re not anymore. They hired a few people, people came back from maternity leave and so on and now we have too many nurses. So they never call.

It is possibly an answer to prayer. That is what we are thinking and hoping. We have been praying since Ethan was born that I could work less or not at all and currently I am working less. It is awesome. However, we are kind of depending on that money I was bringing in. So either God is going to provide us with money in some other way or maybe I will get to work extra again in the near future. For now, I am trying to enjoy every minute I get to be home with Ethan and appreciate that I have been blessed with this little break.

Hoping you get a ton of special moments crammed into those days you’d normally work! He’s such a sweetie, I can’t imagine how hard it is for you to leave him on the days you work. The Lord will provide, I am certain of it.
