Me: It won't be the most fascinating work, but --
Steve: We're not in this for "fascinating."
It's true. The name of the game has changed.
Trade the extra hours spent working for more hours spent loving.
Trade the stress of billables and meeting client needs for the stress of chasing around a child and raising her in the Lord.
Trade "I'm a [insert desired occupation here]" for "I'm Hobey's wifey and Bathands' mommy."
Trade cancelled vacations and working holidays for treasured memories.
Trade rising power and status for status that matters.
Trade the job for life. Family and community is life.
Do what needs to be done, even if it's uninteresting and/or tedious. We're not in this for "fascinating."
On the other hand, watching Bathands dis cover and learn everything could prove to be pretty fascinating too! :) I hear you though.
