As I tried to prepare my kids for what God was preparing me for I noticed that they would nod their heads and say things like, "So, you'll be home more?", and, "You're doing CIU full-time?" But I realized that they didn't really understand what that would look like.
See, (from what I've read) usually when someone steps out into entrepreneurship they have a concept of what their revenue will be like once they start that business full-time. They're most likely making enough money to make ends meet at that present moment. So they take the leap and go into full entrepreneurship mode. Me on the other hand...well I just leapt. As the weeks go on my kids are constantly asking for things as if my income hasn't changed drastically (I left my full-time Upper Management position at the end of July)! I'm like, "Hello! What do I look like? Wells Fargo?" They don't care though! I guess kids will be kids. My son (12) wants every pair of Jordans that come out. Negative! My oldest child (16, young lady) wants everything Anime that Amazon has to offer. And then there's baby girl (6) who also wants everything from Amazon (because of her big sister of course) as well as books, every dress she sees, toy kitchens, Frozen plush dolls, and the list goes on. Meanwhile I'm over hearing trying to make sure the house is in good standing (so far so good!) which can be worrisome sometimes. But in this season I know that God is our provider as He was in so many seasons before. And I believe this season is different because He deliberately called me out to do this magazine as well as publishing. If you are in a place where God has called you out but it makes absolutely no sense-Go for it!!! Mz. CIU
