I am the type of person that always has wild and crazy dreams of things I want to do someday in my life. I see a job advertised in the paper and immediately I'm thinking... 'hmmm... I think I would like a job like that' then, for that split second I seriously contemplate the idea of applying for it. I start thinking about what it would be like to have a job like that. Then, as fast as the thought came, it's gone- never to be thought of again. I've been distracted by something else that I'm reading now in the paper. I see an ad for a trip to the Caribbean. I start thinking, 'hmmm... I could get the time off... I could go...'- then, I see yet something else that distracts me. That is how my brain works. But, the honest truth is that it is very rare that I actually act on any of these ideas. They are just that, ideas. This week was different, though. I acted on an idea. And as usually follows some action like this on my part, the immediate pang of fear overwhelms me. Did I do the right thing? Was this just another idea that I should have left as just a dream? Then, the overwhelming peace. Yes, this is the right thing and I know the many reasons why. Yesterday, I gave my notice at my job without any job to replace it yet. I have some very good leads, but nothing definite yet. But that doesn't matter, this is God's will for me right now. I am totally confident that He will provide me with the right job. But, it is a bit scary to think of what I've just done. Yikes. |
