... is faithful.
My heart feels full today as I look back over the last 8 years, embrace this week of rest and reflection, and look forward to the excitement and opportunities of a new job starting next week.
How do I walk away from something I've know for 8 years? Something that felt comfortable and known and gave me a sense of security.
Working for a growing business has its own challenges. I saw many people come and many people go and some that stayed constant the whole time. There were many days I fought to get all the work done, but it was interspersed with fun, laughter and teasing (of which I gave and received my share!). Good food was definitely a part of the experience - treats brought to celebrate birthdays, donuts (my favorite) made by an employee's wife and generously shared, holiday goodies from vendors, chocolates (by the boxful!), and the list could go on...
I learned much over the years in relationships. In an office of more than a dozen people, primarily men, there were many challenges. Learning to work together as a team, to value others input but also not be afraid to give my own. To be able to give and take, know what was my responsibility and what wasn't, to hear the other person's heart and also share mine. I've learned (and am still learning) to value the men in my life and the goodness they have to offer.
And now I'm moving on... not without some sadness for the good things I'm leaving behind but also with excitement for the good things God has for me in the next phase of my journey.
He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23
