I was contemplating quitting my job literally after three days. I was feeling pretty miserable working at the job just because it didn’t feel like a good environment. While driving to San Diego to go to Aeron and Alanna’s birthday at Green Flash Brewery, I called friends that I trusted to get advice. I spoke to Jeff, Mike, my sister, Aeron, and Carlos. All the advice came back with similar responses. God probably has you there for a reason to be a light in the market place. It’s too early to think about quitting. You need to persevere. Give it some time. I was appreciative of the advice and it brought me back to earth before making a rash decision.
That’s why God says in Proverbs 15:22:
14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
It’s easy to be pulled by your emotions so you need people you respect and trust to get wisdom. My mom also chimed in and gave me some great advice as well. I told her I wish my bosses actually cared about my well being and her response was, “Why don’t you flip that around? Why don’t you think about you actually caring about them?” That completely changed my mindset. Instead of thinking about my own needs, how can I best serve my bosses? That was a game changer.
Today, was actually a good day at work. I had a meeting with my boss and I got to just connect with him a bit for the day. I also got to connect with the Director of Ops too. I felt like she didn’t like me or something but it was good just talking to her.
At the end of the day, I’m trusting the Lord throughout this process. I’m been literally clinging to the Lord each day. I’m completely out of my element and I need the Lord’s provision or I don’t think I’ll make it through this. I know God has a plan and I just have to learn how to trust Him daily. I’m praying for favor like Joseph with my bosses. I’m praying for wisdom like Daniel. I’m praying for God’s leading that he gave Moses.
I want to see God’s hand all over this so I can point back to His goodness. I’m also praying for wisdom so that I can teach the next generation. I’m praying for major breakthrough and I pray that this opportunity sets up the other plans I believe God has for my life. Through it all, I need to trust the Lord.
