I'll weigh in... I tried the career ladder thing and got burnt by a bad boss. I was forced to spent 3 months away from my 4 month pregnant wife and 15 month old son because of that boss. In the same year, my grandfather passed, a year later grandma passed, we had some minor complications with both children..... My grandfather told me a week before he passed "enjoy life, enjoy your wife and enjoy your children. It goes fast." and he was 90 years old when he told me that!
My wife and I wanted more out of life. I cannot believe that in the next 2 weeks my children are going to be 2 and 4 years old.
We bought our first trailer just about 2 months ago and have been gone 3 weekends since the beginning of April... and when the kids cry when we leave the campground or ask "can we come back next weekend that was so fun!!!" my eyes well up....
Work hard, love hard and by Gods Grace We're going to enjoy this life! Its going to have curve balls and hard times but that's why the call it life :)
John 10:10 tells us: The thief comes only to seal kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full"
I'm going to plan for tomorrow, work hard and by all means I'm gonna enjoy life!
