Reset Button?

The last few weeks have been really difficult at work. It seemed I could do nothing right. No matter how hard I tried to do my best, it was not good enough. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not in the right job and the department is not a good fit. I'm still sorting out my options but finding a new job is one of them. I would like to stay with my current company and there is a position that sounds intriguing. The only caveat? The position is not in Spokane.

Over the last year or so, I've felt disconnected with a lot of things here and slowly, over time and for various reasons, my commitments have been completed or not renewed. A friend pointed out this evening that I'm getting an opportunity to reset my life, a "do-over."  Remember those from grade school gym class? She recently went through a life reset herself and survived to share her story, which gives me courage and hope for my own story. It is hugely daunting but also exciting to see what is around the next bend. (note: feel free to remind me that I did say the previous sentence!) And to realize that all the changes will happen rapidly and will be significant.

We sang this song as the gospel hymn at church today & it just touched my heart. It seemed handpicked for me during this time of uncertainty. I hope it touches yours as well. If you remember, please say a prayer (or two or three...) for me that I am open to God's leading &his plan.

Anna, you are in my prayers. I am so wanting for you whatever is God's best. What a dear friend you are, thanks for sharing your heart so that I can pray along with you. Praying that as God leads you in the decisions to be made that it would be a most beautiful journey. Love you my friend!

Anna, I echo what your friend above has so perfectly said: "I am so wanting for you whatever is God's best."

I am continuing to pray for you friend.
