In light of this unintentional life reflection series I thought I'd continue my thoughts until... well until I run out of words.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8(ERV)3 There is a right time for everything, and everything on earth will happen at the right time.
With all my heart I believe that everything happens when and how it's suppose to happen. I find myself in this particular season of unemployment (again). Yes that's right I've this isn't a new thing I was in a similar situation before but my reaction to being laid off then was the polar opposite of how I felt when I was laid off in July. At that time I worked for a company that created gift baskets etc. When I lost my position there I was crushed, there had been A LOT of devastating things going on in my life that I hadn't even begun to heal from and to lose my job on top of that was just the last straw. I'll talk about that part of my life in another post it's kind of a difficult thing to explain so bare with me I'll share that story with you soon.
Being laid off this time around I actually felt relieved I talked in detail about this in my post What am I Going to Do with My Life? . The funny thing is that I remember some time last year while working at my previous job I felt this nudge to walk away and I thought to myself how could I possibly do that ? This is NOT the holy spirit..couldn't be, I cannot just quit! The whole thought scared me so I ignored the thought every time it came across my mind. Fast forward to July 2, 2014 ( not quite sure of the date) and BOOM no job! Honestly if I hadn't been laid off this past July I would have never left and I would've remained in my "safe" little miserable bubble of complacency. Through out this year I actually prayed for change and the opportunity to work and make a living within my purpose. I just didn't know that "the change" would be so sudden! lol The truth is God knows me well and He knew that I wouldn't move until He moved the things I was holding onto out of the way. This situation is forcing me to rely on God fully.
My prayer is that I use this time wisely and that I can rest in the fact that God has set the path ahead of me. I tend to be a "worrier" and I hate it ! I fight with self doubt every single day and I second guess every decision. I don't want to continue with this mind set so I am placing all of these thoughts at the feet of God and taking this new season one step at a time. Pray for me folks! lol
Up NEXT I will talk about what I'd like to do in a written vision board of my dreams moving forward.
Love,
