This morning, I may have freaked out a little bit. I am leaving my job 😳 Yea, I made a rational decision based on evidence that it is time for me to leave. Yes, I know that I know that it’s the right decision for me, and this is the time that it needs to happen. But…I’M LEAVING MY JOB! What’s next? What’s the game plan?
In the past, I have been a chronic over-thinker and worrier. I say in the past because I refuse to wear the badge of a worrier. I’m in recovery for overthinking.
As I was melting down, I sent my friend a message that said that skydiving seems like a great idea until you’re standing at the OPEN door of a SAFE airplane waiting to JUMP, hoping your parachute opens. She laughed, said this was WAY safer than skydiving and reminded me that God is in control.
For way too long, I’ve forgotten that GOD IS IN CONTROL. Not me. I’ve forced things to happen. I’ve walked through doors with huge danger signs because I couldn’t wait. I made huge life decisions rashly because I didn’t want to make other people uncomfortable.
Well…Friday at 3PM, I’m jumping out of the proverbial plane. Will there be tears? Yea. Will there be regret? No. You see…I made some good friends over the last 5 years. My life has been touched so deeply by so many people in the past 5 years. I hope that I’ve deeply affected a few people positively over the past five years. Friday st 3:01 PM, a new chapter begins. Please pray for me…and come along on the journey in which I discover what God has created me to do!!

I too have had my share of “act before praying” decisions, some of them for very “good” causes. If you’ve really prayed through it then you are in Good hands (capitalization intentional).
I’ve been praying for the right time for a while. I know I’m in Good hands…but my control freak self peeked out her ugly head for a few minutes today.
