For such a time as this...

It seems to me that my blog is starting to take its own direction. Which is cool. Just not expected...
"For such a time as this." This is another one of the key points that I have picked up in my bible study. There is a point in the book of Esther (4:14) when Modecai tells Esther. "...And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" I love that question. Which is good because it seems to be one that I cannot escape lately.
There are days where I get up for work and every part of me just wants to say, "I quit. I want to be the mommy again." But I drag my protesting self up the stairs and start my routine that gets me out the door. Then I sit at my desk and look at all the photos and art work surrounding me. I study the little figurine of Dorothy from "Wizard of Oz" and the handwritten note from my husband that hangs next to her. It reads, "This little girl sits at your desk reminding you of your quest. And when you feel lost and alone just remember, your loved ones are waiting back at home."
And I think to myself, 'For such a time as this'. I may not like the fact that I gave up being a stay at home mom sometimes, but I cannot help but think that the path of my life has led me to this job at this exact point in my life, 'for such a time as this'. And I am pretty confident that Beth Moore would agree with me when I say, "THAT, my friend... is providence"
