One year ago, today I left my place of employment after fifteen years of service. After all those years I honestly thought I would retire from there.
It wasn’t an easy decision but one I had been praying for in earnest for almost two years. I was asking God to move or to move me. As a result of listening to Him, I took that leap of faith and stepped out on the ocean and God caught my hand among the waves and he never let me sink.
I left the most hostile and toxic work environment I had ever been in. Don’t get me wrong, the university I worked for was fine, but my department became too much to bear any longer.
But God had an amazing opportunity waiting for me. One I never could have imagined. One where I am supported and encouraged. One where my experience and knowledge are valued and appreciated. One where my co-workers have become friends.
So many wonderful things have happened in my life over the past year, and it is not lost on me they were all orchestrated by God. I gave Him full control and listened to him as he gently whispered over me what to do.
As I’ve said before, God’s timing is perfect. I am thankful for his provisions and his blessings upon me and my family.
I’m praying the next year is just incredible as the last one has been.
