My First Thought

Today's thoughts is about Decisions! Every decision affects someone. Some times it affects only you. Other times it affects others around you, especially those close to you. Recently I made a decision to leave the teaching profession to seek a career change. This decision would not have been so dramatic if not for the fact I did not yet have a another job already lined up and in place. So now I am seeking new employment. Thinking this decision of mine, would save my mental health (already an improvement), I did not realize the impact it would have on my wife and family. Before I started my most recent teaching job (I held this job for 9 years), my family and I struggled from pay check to pay check, barely meeting bill payments and putting food on the table for a growing family. It was a hard time, but GOD always took care of our basic needs and helped us through it. Now it is a possibility we may be back there again, at least temporarily, until new work comes through for me. I don't think I was selfish in my decision, but I really hate the position I put my family in. --- So before you make a decision you think may only be about you, think again...and realize those you love may also be affected. --- Wish me luck on my job hunt!
