And I am shaking like crazy right now. My nerves are just going wild. Haha. I took a deep breath, said a quick prayer, and (nervously) walked into Mike's office and said something along the lines of:
"I have some news; I'm not sure how you'll take it. :) But Tony & I have been praying and we have decided that I am going to be a fulltime homemaker in the very near furture... which means no more pickle company. (He laughed at that). I'm willing to stay for a little while to help train up somebody else, if that's what you want. I'm very excited about it, but I know that it will put a lot of stress on you, so I want to make the transition as easy as possible."
Mike's just as calm and collected as ever and confirms my God given role as a wife. "You know, you are a great worker and we have really enjoyed you being here with us. And it does upset me to see you go. But on the other hand, I strongly believe that God has written His Word for us to take literally. And when you read the Bible literally, and obey it... it really goes against culture, but God will provide. That goes with our finances and everything. It is all written in their for our good; to protect us. I'm sure that you and your husband have sought the Lord in prayer about this. And this is especially good, since you two are really involved in ministry. So congratulations." -- That's just a paraphrase of what he said...
I'm still shaking... haha. "Thank you!"
We didn't talk about the time frame or anything along those lines. He said he would write it on his to-do list, as far as hiring someone else. He thanked me for the heads up. I'm just going to put the timing of it all in God's hand. If Mike come's back and says "two-weeks"... that is fine. If he say's "one month"... that is fine too. It will be God's perfect timing!!! Not too early, and not too late. Right on time!
