T...Oh I identify with you Rachel in *so* many ways. The transition to being married is such a difficult period even though it is what you want. Changing your location, changing your name, delegating responsibilities, adjusting to living with your spouse, experiencing the things that the love of your life does that rubs you the wrong way at times.<br /><br />And then you aren't working. I had to stop working in the middle of my school year before we were married because of my health issues. I was a speech language pathologist in a early childhood devleopment center (Preschool) where all the kids had disabilities. Over the years it has been a huge grief. And I know what you mean about identifying yourself as a teacher. And though you aren't preparing yourself for a teaching job right now, you will *always* be a teacher, even when you are not teaching. <br /><br />It took a long time for me to realize that I am a speech language pathologist still even though I haven't practiced in 5 1/2 years! It was my heart. It was what I felt God wanted me to do. But no one else would see me as that. I have to fill out silly surveys sometimes and there is no box for me. Am I unemployed? Am I a homemaker? There is no box that defines me.<br /><br />I'll be praying for you, that God's will be done. I pray that He brings you comfort and peace along the journey until you know what the path is. And I pray that he will help you two as you are navigating your financial situation. <br /><br />Love you and I'm always here if you need a listening ear!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08108693618454457329noreply@blogger.com
