He's quiting his JOB.

So, my husband is quitting his super stable, super steady job at A&M to make Iphone Apps with his friends with their new company PHODDER and I'm really surprisingly excited! I love that he's excited to begin with. He's been staying up until 2AM on average to do his Phodder job after working at A&M all day.. and though that's getting tiresome (LITERALLY) he is still excited when he talks about the stuff he's working on. I'm thinking that's a really good sign.
It's actually not as scarry a leap as it could be on a lot a levels.
First of all, I really like the guys he's working with. They've already proven that they are willing to turn down a LOT of money to do apps that they have any kind of moral hesitation on. Their ultimate goal is to make enough to live on while working less/more flexable hours so that they can be more involved as daddies. I love that! I am not really SUPER confident that their hours are going to be shorter.. at least not right away. I have been given some experineced input that entrapaneaurs usually work MORE than everyone else.. not less and I can see why. No one else does your paper work, your taxes, your payroll, figures out your insurance, sets up meetings for you... at least not this early on. They are their own bosses.. and their own secretaries... maintnance staff... PR reps.. etc, etc, etc... But, we are in this for the long haul.. and I think their is a potentially awesome long haul, so we are trusting and praying and gearing up for the transition, which I'm sure will have it's bumps.
Other reasons for my excitement are that this business is already rolling along REALLY well. We're really excited about how much work they already have lined up. They've actually had to start having a lot of conversations about how to bring their work load down a bit (a very good sign that they aren't hurting for work). They've also been approached by increasingly bigger companies, making me confident that both their exposure and credability are growing and succeeding, so that is exciting.
Lastly, we are excited because we were just kind of ready for a change. I think Dave and I have felt a bit stagnet lately. It feels good to be doing something that takes some faith and some vision. Dave recently said, "I haven't prayed this much in a LONG time." It's funny how it so often works that way. I guess it's really sad that it often works that way, that we tend to get comfortable and start to forget to consider if our lives are meaningful for Christ, if our lives are really serving any greater purpose than paying the mortgage, accumulating stuff, and growing in status in our communities. I think this has been a call to Dave and I to start thinking again.. to wake up and look up and ask, who is our life about? Phodder may come, and Phodder may go. Time will tell, but I hope that as we move into this next year Dave and I are growing closer and wiser in the Lord. I really want our life to be about more than this short time that we are here on this earth. We would love your prayers as we start this new direction. Thanks.
