Just like that..it all turns around

Its funny how you can feel like
you are climbing up a hill..
like you might never get to the top!
and all of a sudden
you are there!
beautiful view..
clean air
and you look back and wonder
what took you so long?

This past few years has held many moments
of climbing the hill...
many moments of standing on the top...
and many moments of finding myself sliding
head first down to the bottom!

Today however,
I am standing at the top!!!!
In an amazing, God ordained turn of events..
before I really had my time to get my feet wet
in the job hunt;
I received an email about a job!
I showed up with resume in hand..
was scheduled for an interview this morning-
and left with a perfect job!!

A job that will allow me
to drop my kids off at school
and pick them up!
A job that allows me to do what I love;
teach!
A job that will help me get my degree!
A job that allows me to provide!!!

I really feel like crying!!
Its good tears
but also pent up tears...
tears that have been waiting to fall
but I was scared that if I let myself cry;
I may never stop!

Now they want to fall..
but there will be an end!
There is such relief
and excitement..
and relief!!
Did I mentioned how relieved I feel??

So, this day ends on a wonderful note..
and one week from now
I start a new phase in my life
and take the next step
in this remarkable journey;
called life!!
