We are due to have our fourth girl in just a few days. I should, based on the number and frequency of my contractions, be asleep. Instead I'm here with you folks contemplating time.
When we knew we were having this bundle, just after a recent miscarriage, I knew I needed to cut back. My husband and I were expanding our real estate horizons searching out new property prospects, I am homeschooling two pre-schoolers and cyber schooling a 3rd grader, I'm working on my first children's book, I had several business writing clients, and I volunteered for our church's Sunday school program.
I usually leave these things out of my business blog, but I am a Christian, and I know everything happens for a reason, and in it's season. I had to cut back and my writing seemed the best place to do so. But what about the missing income? Yep, that was a concern, but God provided, just in time. For how long, we don't really know, but for now the cash rolls in in just about the same amount as I was making.
Now, when is the right time to jump back in? When I do, do I woo my old clients or search for new ones? Will the break in the action severely affect my skills, my prospects?
I guess this matters little in the grand scheme of things. God is in control after all, and a baby, even the fourth one, changes everything. :)
