I was talking with a friend the other day about making decisions. We briefly spoke about making decisions and receiving confirmation from the spirit that the decision is good. I expressed my relief and comfort in having the spirit to make decisions. As well I noted that I didn't know how people made decisions - huge big decisions without this confirmation. I suppose if you've never had something you don't know what you're missing, but I am so grateful to have a loving Father in Heaven and to have a relationship with Him. I am grateful that He cares enough for me to give me quiet, calm assurance that a decision I'm making is a good one. One that has His seal of approval.
Today I filled out the online paper work to extend my leave. I am eligible to take a one year infant care leave in addition to my maternity leave. There will not be any additional money of course, this is an unpaid leave, but I do not as yet have to walk away from my job. I can change my mind if I want to, and request to come back early, but as it stands right now my leave will continue until May 19, 2015. I feel so good about this decision. A little scared, but mostly just good.
I love my girls. I love being a Mom. And I am grateful to be the wife of such a good, hard-working man that supports me, and will be supporting me for the foreseeable future!!

I LOVE the Canadian laws for maternity leave! I'm so happy you get to stay home with your babies for so long :) and I love this post. I don't know how people make decisions without prayer and confirmation from the spirit. I would constantly second guess myself!
