Decisions

For a few months now I have been trying to make a decision. I have been working since July, at a little gas station Corner 22. I wanted a job so that I wasn't home all day. You can only clean so much.
This job is great, and the people are what make it that way. I love the people that I see everyday. They just make my day. I was working 3-4 days a week, but after being sick for a week my hours have been cut to 1 day. Kind of frustrating. I have talked to the owner and asked for more hours, I have given her a list of days that I can work which is every day if needed, and still only 1 day a week. In a way it's good because I am able to be there for my kids when they need me.
After thinking about this all weekend I went in on Monday to quit, and on Tuesday, but she wasn't there. While I was there yesterday I ran into my brother Tom. I told him that I had come in to quit, and he gave me some advice. He said that he didn't know what my situation was, and if I was quiting for my family, but that if I loved the job I should hold out for a couple of months. So What to do.
I have some friends who don't think I should work, and have kind of been vocal about me working. They try to make me feel bad that I am not at home. Other friends understand and are great about it. They know that my kids come first and if it came down to it I would drop my job if it was getting in the way of my family.
I have prayed about this. I have learned that when trying to make a decision that is important, and this is what it has come down to. If I was ment to quit the owner would have been there when I went in to talk to her. Also I wouldn't have ran into my brother. SO for now I am going to keep working and seeing all the wonderful people that I love so much.

I agree - it's important to include the Lord in your decisions. If you feel that for now you should keep going - then go for it! I support you either way - but I'm not your family! ;) Good luck!
