The next chapter

I quit my job...after I had an offer from SPI pharma in Grand Haven. I really didn't expect to get a job in this economy with good benefits, but I did ask God to part a sea for me and he has, in more ways than one. I'm very nervous though. The last few weeks has been very difficult, leaving my Hines Corp comfort zone. All the negative thoughts have crept in...what if you don't understand the job, what if you don't ever get it, what if you can't do the work?? This keeps me up and night and makes my stomach hurt during the day.

I cried during my exit interview last Thursday and it was difficult for me to say goodbye to the Hines group. I'm worried I'll be in my new office asking myself what on earth I was thinking leaving that place. My prayer is that this won't happen and once I've adjusted to this new postition I feel at peace with my decision to go there. I wish I wasn't such a worrier.

"Don't worry about tomorrow, today has enough troubles of its own", I think thats from the Gospel of Matthew, I need to really let it sink in. Theres a bigger picture to this all, I need to remember that. But for now....

God, give me peace in my new job and a mind to understand the tasks ahead of me. Give me wisdom in doing whats right. I want to do a good job, please be with me so I'm able to do this. I ask that you go ahead of me and prepare the office and the people I'll be working with. I pray my boss is patient, kind, and a good teacher. i pray we have a good working relationship and genuinely like eachother. I pray that he is satisfied with his decision to hire me. I pray God that I perform well in my job. I pray that wherever I fall short, you fill the gap for me. I pray for your guidance, your blessing, and your spirit to dwell in this office. I pray most of all that I serve you well and you are pleased with me. I will give you the credit, the glory for all good things to come. I know that you parted this sea for me, and I will not forget.
