Yesterday, I quit my job. Really, I did it and still can't believe it. We are in the worst economic times since the Depression and highest unemployment rate in 26 years, people are getting laid off left and right and I quit my job. It was a tough decision, not because I dont want to be at home with Pierson but cutting out an income is a HUGE decision. Nate and I both have a strong desire for me to be at home with Pierson so we are stepping out, stepping out on faith and asking God to provide. This is the biggest step of faith I have ever taken for sure. I think it is amazing how much more you depend and trust in the Lord when you are scared or anxious but when things are great, you tend to think you can do it all on your own. So, if you are reading this, please pray for our family.
Side story...I left work yesterday with a stomach ache and went to pick up Pierson from my parents house. When I got there he was wide awake. I went over and said hi and he just kinda looked around. I then said, "Guess what Pierson, mommy quit her job today so she can be at home with you all day!" and he looked right at me and smiled HUGE! At that point I knew we were making the right decision and I dont want to miss another one of those smiles!

Melissa,
I am so encouraged by your post today that I just had to write! Your stepping out in faith shows such courage! I know that the Lord will honor your decision to stay home with Pierson, to be the one who gets to teach him everything. And I'm sure as a new mommy, there is nothing more exciting than that, even in the midst of where our country is financially. I will be praying for you, Pierson and Nate, that the Lord will continue to provide, as He always does, and that you truly get to enjoy being home with your precious baby boy!!! SOOOO excited for you!!

Praying for yall...
(and I still have your baby shower gift in my car - ahhh, I swear one day I'm gonna get that shipped off to you!) Much love!
Melissa, I'm sure you will be amazed by the Lord's provision for your family and you will never look back and regret a day you spent with Pierson instead of work.
