Transition

Every so often it seems God brings us to a time of transition in our lives. This is one of those times for me. About 3 weeks ago, I submitted my resignation at work. My last day was last Friday. While it would have been great to have another job lined up and ready for me to step into, that didn't happen. So why did I do it? Glad you asked.

For about a year now, I've been disappointed and frustrated with the work environment. Over the past few months, my frustration intensified, and I began earnestly asking God for direction. His response... leave in May. Ok, but what if I don't have something lined up? Leave anyway. Ok. I think I can do that. I'm tired of it. Wait, what if I'm hearing you wrong God? Is it wrong to ask for affirmation? I'll do this without affirmation, but affirmation would be great. Ok, I don't think I can do this without affirmation. So the affirmation came, maybe not in the way I would have liked, but definitely affirmation. So I quit. (That's the short version of the story.)

What's next? Well, when I resigned they immediately asked if I would be open to doing contract work, to which I immediately gave a resounding yes. So for now I'm doing contract work. Not sure how long or how much I will have in the days to come, but for today, we're ok.

I still struggle with what I want to be when I grow up. For now I"m just seeking God's direction and looking specifically for ways I can make an income within our community, whether that be working from home or working somewhere close by.

Every once in a while I have a nervous moment, but for the most part I am completely at peace and my stress level has dropped dramatically. I don't know what God has in store, but I'm excited to find out!
