You know that saying, "when one door shuts another door opens" ??? Yeah, well.. it's true!! I have been working at the St. George Children's Museum for the past two years now. It has been the biggest blessing in my life and for my little family. I have loved working there. I have been able to use my talents and abilities there! I've been able to paint murals, design rooms and exhibits, create lesson plans and teach fun classes to children, all while being around guests who are almost as happy as the guests at Disneyland! I also have been maintaining the museum website and social media platforms, designing flyers and posters for the museum, and writing the museum blog and monthly newsletter.
When I got pregnant I was sick for quite a few weeks and the museum was so good to work with me. Then when I had Lila they let me take some time off, all while doing some work at home here and there. I went back to work when Lila was barely 10 weeks old and that was HARD. It broke my heart to leave her. Not to mention I think I've suffered from a little bit of postpartum anxiety so I was super anxious as well always worrying about her and what not. Well after some time I got the hang of being back at work and being a mom. It turned out to be quite empowering knowing that I could do it all! But it also took a toll. Now, 6 months later after going back to work I have realized that my time there is done.
It hit me all at once one day while I was working. I had the strongest impression that it was time for me to be done. Like, I couldn't leave work without giving them my two week notice, so I did just that. It was really emotional for me, which surprised me! But afterwards I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
A few days later I got called to be the YW secretary in our new ward! So do you see what I mean?! When one door closes, another one really does open! I am really excited to be able to serve in the YW. It's been a dream of mine and I hope that I can be an instrument in God's hands.
I'm also very happy to be done with work at the museum so I can focus more on my precious Lila and so I can also have more time to do artwork.
It's amazing how life unfolds.
Love,
Kate
