I finally got up the courage to quit my engineering lab job. I never realized how big of a step of faith it was until I got to the entrance of the building where my boss worked. I stood still for the longest time, frozen with fear...but I reflected back to what I prayed this morning for this moment, I asked for courage and boldness and sure enough in response..."When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted" (Psalm 138: 3)...and I remembered that God was good, a basic truth but yet sometimes so hard to wrap your mind around...
Done...
I cried as I said goodbye because before in my mind I was saying goodbye to a job, to work, to money, to time that should be spent else where...but I forgot I was saying goodbye to the people as well...I love my boss and my co-workers but one must move on...
Peace...oh the sweet joy of peace and knowing that I just obeyed God, he is pleased.
That was hard...so what is next?
my word
read and enjoy what God is teaching me everyday as I strive to be an imiator of him and as I long to live life to the fullest until the day that I will stand...no lie facedown...before my King, my Father. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." ~ 1 Peter 1:8
