As I start this day, I am happy with my decision.
I decided to move on from my current job to pursue others interests. *I smile* And after this last four hour shift, I will exhale and find a state of relief. This journey has been long. I fell into this particular job, and I began to love it. I have represented all kinds of all-natural food brands, from ketchup to skin care to juice cleanses. I've learned so much about the food I eat. It was time well spent and it is time to move forward. When I shared the good news with one of the friends I met on the job, I was taken aback by his response. I told him that it was my last day at that store and I wouldn't be doing demos anymore. I told him that I felt good about it. It was my time to go. His response, as a man of God, "That's not what God's saying to me." I looked at him. And as a women of God, I responded, "God doesn't have to go through James. He doesn't have to run anything by you or tell you anything about my life. He told me that it's ok to leave and that's all I need. I trust him and I'm leaving." THE NERVE OF HIM!
I'd taken some time off of the job for the holidays and when I showed up to work he commented on how balanced I looked. I'm so balanced because I haven't been in this place lately! And then he tells me that my season for working there isn't over. God already told me that it's my time to go, sorry bro. I'll admit it, sometimes I start to question it and rethink and reanalyze my situation, but I'm going to stand firm in what I know is true. As we stood in awkward silence, James then brought up a coworker who has been complaining for almost 2 years now and how she says that "her time to leave is coming, she can feel it." Me too girl! I felt it. I listened. And I'm outta here! Sometimes you just have to trust what He tells you and walk in it. No one else can tell you what God has told you. And sometimes no one else will confirm what God tells you. Oh well! Trust God and trust yourself. I know my time is definitely done because I can see how much I've grown at this job. I would have felt insecure and weary about my decision and began to question myself had that interaction happened two months ago. SO. Stand firm in your decisions. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Don't let anyone talk you out of your dream. You are the only one living your life. Trust yourself. I may be in a transition right now, but I'm sure I'll have lots of good things to report back to James after I'm gone ;) I trust that I will.

Psalms 119: 97-99 ♥ Britt T
*Psalms 119: 97-99 97Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. 98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. 99 I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. *
