Hi kids. I'm Mrs. Peek

Today is my last day as a stay at home mommy and tomorrow I start my new job as a 3rd grade teacher.  I have so loved being home for the past 13 months with my baby.  It was 10 months longer than I even planned on getting to stay home.  They were a true gift from God.  Now, God has blessed me with the opportunity to do what he has called me to, teach!  As thankful as I am for this new opportunity, I am taking it on with much resistance.  I am not ready to leave my baby.  That being said, every big blessing in our life has started with me resisting God and the blessing he's given us.  For starters, I never wanted to move to Sulphur Springs.  As it turned out it was better than I could have ever imagined.  I made great friends, grew even closer to our families, and was led to the doctor that helped us get sweet Baylor.  Then when we moved last year, I again met that obstacle with great resistance.  I wasn't ready to leave my family and my comfort zone.  God again though blessed us beyond measure.  We made new friends, found a new church home, and I even got to stay home with Baylor which I would not have had we stayed in Sulphur Springs.  So with this new journey, I have lots of new reservations and concerns, but ultimately I have to remember that God has a greater plan.  He has not called me to be miserable, but to thrive and be an active disciple for his kingdom.  Please pray for us...for me...as we start this new journey.  Baylor will be in the best of care while I am at work, but it will still take time for both of us to adjust to our new routine.  God has brought us this far, and I know he won't leave us now!

Zephaniah 3:17
"The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
