yes its true . I quit my job of only 2 days 
I kinda of knew it'd happen .
I felt a bit embarrased but then that is so totally me learn from experience 
I was so gald the readings are St.Paul lately he and St. Francis help me know its ok to be the fool .
I am like St. fRANCIS i'D KEEP GETTING ON THAT BOAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN EVEN IF IT KEPT SINKING .
ask an angel to pick me up save me from drowning ask God to forgive me . Then I remember what my mission is
I was already having to argue with ds 17 to help babysit 1/2 hr on his day off . then I found I was thinking ds11 and ds6 would need to be alone for ceratin amounts of time . ds17 here but sleeping as he works nights . I was thinking well they've got thier computer games . they love rune scape but that means they'd be online alone ( I have our computer right here in our school room where I can see them ) . I was thinking of what kind of junky treat I'd buy them to keep them happy . So I felt uneasy all weekend about this job . Then I prayed . I said God yes I remember God remined me of my delivering flyer job .I'd be making the same amount of money as that job . All my flyer money went to was junk food and cigerettes it was our worst summer ever and I'ma summer person . the only thing different with the clothing store was the cigerttes were gone 
I then said to God yes my job doing flyers all I enjoyed was walking and raying for others . If I take this job now our praying walks to church and around the nieghborhood will not happen I know it .
My dream job has always been to travel and pray .My calling and mission work is intercession
why do we forget .
the world tempts me with money all the time this is my weakness .
So now we do have to stop computer and cable and go back to using the church computer which is a good thing . I might figure out internet cafe place but really this brought me home and helped me re-focus again
I think the biggest sign was the tattooed maager and selling clothing to transgender people that was the final sign for me though
no big deal I just kind of chuckled and said to God of course only with me
so nope i'm a working mum missionary who is not getting a single dime for it and loving it
Thanks so much for your prayers and yes like St.Francis I to feel on the brink of insanity some days
Much Love , Roxie

I've had, still have, this same temptation. I'm very impressed by your humility. You are a great example.

Oh Roxie - I'm sorry it didn't work out, but God is so good isn't He - to be so patient with us. You were open, and instantly recognized that all of the excess noise being generated by this job would intrude on your family peace and possibly be a danger. There is so much joy in simplicity isn't there?
Speaking of simplicity...I need to get my head out of this computer and get busy doing some sewing projects with my dd! Many hugs for you Enjoy your time at home today!

I have to laugh. You sound so much like me! Of course, my problem had always been that as soon as I went back to work I ended up pregnant. Then again, those two things might not be related since I haven't worked in 7 years and the babies keep coming.
I glad you discovered quickly what was right for you and your family.

Yes Jennifer I was thinking again today how I may be simple but I'm not stupid and it is the same with God he is always simple and well we know he is not stupid
Jesus confirmed for me today I am on the right track
Oh Rachel I have ahard time with humility it takes big falls sometimes because y ego can be so big
this is why I know I must always remain small
I spoke with my good friend Mary this am and we are meeting on fri. to fly kites with all the kids !
She also informed me she and her dh met with my priest last night and he is going to help her enter into returning to spirit and with thier marriage !
Wow is God awesome or what . Fr. leaves the parish in two weeks he may not have been able to have seen them for quite awhile yet .
My falls are not quite so hard now that I am accepting they need to happen
Thanks again for putting up with me
Much Love , Roxie

Roxe, sorry it didn't work out but you are so wise to think of all these areas of concern. And I enjoyed a smile - you sound like me - I tend to leap before I look!

Sorry Roxie it didn't work out for you. But it sounds like you can see clearly that life would have been hectic with it... thanks for your humility.
