Life is ever changing.
Some things seem to always be the same and NEED changing and other things change so fast it makes our heads spin.
Many of us are afraid of change and fight it tooth and nail. I venture to say that I am one of those comfort creatures that likes things to be similar and run smoothly. Actually I am all about things running smoothly. I am a planner and like things to be planned out.
I have had that challenged a great deal in the past few years. I did not like it most of the time and I have had to learn a great deal about flexibility. Uhmmm....I don't bend real easily, BUT on the other hand. I am one who MORE THAN ANYTHING is interested in being faithful to God and HIS plan for my life.
SO I bend and I move and I ditch my own plans in the trash while going for HIS plan!
The way I see it, it is ALL a learning and growing experience. It's what we need to be closer to HIM, our source of strength and passion and love and ..............
well EVERYTHING!!!
After a few years of these flexibility lessons, it seems as if He is about to mix things up and after one HUGE change I will be living a much more "planned" out daily routine. I kinda like that idea!!! I think it will be so good for me.
After 13 years of working as an Assistant to an Interior Designer; making plants & topiarys, decorating, assisting, choosing tile and paint colors, hanging window treatments, and pictures, etc. etc. etc.
I have a NEW job!!!
I am leaving the decorating field and entering a new job as a front desk receptionist for a welding company.
At this new job I will have more routine. Things will be far less physically demanding (my body NEEDS this!!!). I will be able to use some of my other talents and abilities.
I am excited!!!!!
This chapter is complete (or it will be after this work week).
Now it is time to see what else God has in store for me, what great things have yet to come.
I am looking forward to it with great anticipation and excitement,
and saying.....
NEXT PAGE PLEASE.......................
Sounds like a great change for you...much lest demanding on your body for sure & you are such a creative person, I know you will keep using those talents outside of work, while developing your other talents at your new job. Congratulations. I am *hoping* to come down with the kids in september (kai is in year-round school, ryan in the midst of his busy season). If it works, we would love to catch up (though I know you won't be as flexible!!!)
