A day, A year

I am officially starting a new job on July 30 that I am terribly excited about. So many great changes have come this past month, and I can see God working in my life. This past year has been a whirlwind, that has constantly been picking me up and tossing me around. In a darker time in my life, I turned to friends, family and myself for answers. Not God. I have had so much pride, because I just graduated and did not want to fail. I did not want to move home, because in my mind that was the ultimate failure. No offense to those who have chosen that path.

This past month I realized that I only get one life, and I refuse to settle for comfortable. Certain circumstances occurred, and I was floored. I was willing to move home rather then continue with my normal day to day routine. It was time to change things up a bit.

God wanted me uncomfortable, so I turned in my two weeks at my last job of a year. I had no clue of what would come next, but I knew God would lead me. For a week I applied for jobs, and heard nothing back. One of my best friends, Danielle, sent me a job description and I was so excited to apply for it. I emailed the contact, and certainly did not give my hopes up in day dreams.

He contacted me, and a week later offered me a job to be apart of their company. After this past year, I felt as if I was never going to work with kids again, my passion. I had close calls all year for jobs, leads, interviews.... but nothing ever worked out. It was not in God's timing.

God had my hand the whole time, and his path is WAY better than what I thought I had planned. I think about all of the jobs I could of done if I would of paved my own path this year, and nothing compares to the amazing opportunities that I have received through this path from God.
