When Your Job Impacts Your Family
Abby and Eason, Not too far into my marriage, my husband decided I needed to make more money. It was a topic that we disagreed about. My heart’s desire was that we lived on one income and use the money I was making in that season to save for our children’s college, braces, cars, and […]
My 1st Office Job
Abby and Eason, I got married a few weeks after I graduated from college. My husband lived in Austin, so I needed to change jobs again. Honestly, I still didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I finished college, but I didn’t really have a vision for what “work” would look like. […]
