Tomorrow is officially the end of my work at Cie Studios and the start of a new chapter in our lives. It's weird for me to think about our future as a family without a job. For me, a job has always been about security and stability. With a job, you have that steady paycheck every few weeks, and the knowledge that even when you aren't performing your best, there is always food on the table. On top of that, we have been very blessed with additional luxuries like insurance, vacation and sick days. But all that is going to end real soon, and I have to admit that it's a little intimidating. It's intimidating because the next time I get the flu, we lose money for every day I'm sick. It's intimidating because of the inherent uncertainty of finding new work as a contractor. It's intimidating because, when I slack off and am unmotivated, it directly and immediately affects my family.
But for all the uncertainty of what could happen, I'm pretty excited. It's not just excited because I'll be able to see my family more, although that is a huge blessing in itself, but rather because I feel like we are truly stepping out on faith to pursue what God has for our lives. When Cortney and I first started talking about it three years ago, it was always in the future, something that would be cool if we could do "one day". Now it's something we are actually doing.
