Well there's so much to say...which has kept me from writing in the first place. I've been on a lil vacation of sorts. I knew I would be leaving my job soon, but it certainly didn't happen the way I thought it would. And to put it lightly, I was released from my duties. I was prepared to fight at first and when I saw there was nothing I could to say to change things. I let go. This is definitely a first for me. It was like the first time I failed a class. Being the type of person who was used to doing things well and being praised for them, the fact that someone found fault in my work was hard to accept.
But then there came the peace of God. Letting me know that everything was going to work out for my good. And what I've come to find is that maybe I settled so much in that job because it was comfortable I wouldn't have left without having been forced out. So with no restrictions or obligations, I've allowed myself to be open to whatever is available to be done. Being there to help with my church or help my friend move or go out of town to see my family wouldn't have happened if I didn't have this time available.
And it came in perfect timing for me to attend Word Explosion which is a yearly conference held here in Tulsa. I feel so much more empowered by going this year.
I do have a position that I am interviewing for and I feel really good about it. It has not come without a fight. Whereas I thought it came really easily at first, it has been a test of persistence. Never underestimate the power of persistence.
Now the vacation is coming to a close and I still have lots to do. Here we go!
