Speaking of her husband:
"I knew he had a calling in his life from God, but I didn't' know how I fit into it." - Carol Johnson.
Her words really touched me because that she put my thoughts into words perfectly. It explained how I thought of my relationship with my husband. Nathan has always been an exceptional academic. Graduated over an 4.0 in high school and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Indiana Wesleyan University with a majors in Computer Software Engineer and Mathematics and a minor in Statics. I was there for the college years and experience his intelligence with the few classes we took together. I didn't excel in academics like he did. I didn't have the passion to learn and struggled throughout the 4 years. I am proud of his passion and dedication to continue learning. Since his education years are behind him he excelling in his career. After graduation he accepted a job at McDonalds corporate in the Computer Security position. Although, it wasn't in his field of study it was such a opportunity and he learned a lot about the world of business. After 8 months he was offered a job that was exactly what he wanted to do. Although it was a hard decision, Nathan quit McDonalds to pursue this new job. Nathan signed on to be a Computer Software Engineer for Comply 365 Solutions a company he interned for during college and did some contract work with before accepting this full time position. After 2 years has been promoted to Lead Software Engineer - Web Team. I understand these are just words and titles and on a resume they look great, but Nathan has a calling on his career. Its goes beyond his title, at 25 years old he is very knowledgeable and professional. The way he presents himself is admirable. He is such a hard worker and a dedicated employee. He loves his job and that is such a blessing. Comply was a start up company a few years back, but it is constantly growing and Nathan is blessed to be apart of its growth and success.
Now how I fit into his career calling... well I always wanted to be a wife and and mom. I went to college to be a nurse, but per previous post I am a full time wife and mom now. My goals and aspirations are not academic or career based. My husbands are and I have figured out I fit into his calling by being his wife. My goals have basically been met, but now I am helping Nathan reach his goals. By being his helpmate. To support, encourage, and be at his side everyday. Each evening when he walks in the door, he gives me a kiss, gives Leila a kiss, and I ask how was your day?? I hear each and every story as he vents out his exciting days, his rough days, his busy days, stressful days, fun days, smooth days, etc. And I have learned how much I am supporting my husband just by listening to him (even sometimes the content goes over my head) :).
Nathan is just beginning his career at 25 years old. He has many more years before retirement. I am excited to see where God is going to take us as he continues to pursue his calling. Sometimes I feel like I am just along for the ride, but I am ok with that. :)
