Time to Move On
I’ve been working for the same boss for 9 years now but pretty soon I’ll be needing to look for a new position. All good things must come to an end I suppose.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been dealing with all the normal feelings that accompany pending change. At first I simply had to grieve the loss of such good friends I’ve made. I had to evaluate what I can do and perhaps more importantly what I want to do next. And now I’ll have to adjust to a new boss and prove my worth all over again.
Basically I understand how the process works from here and I’m doing the right things to make the adjustment, but the emotional impact is far from over. That’s where I need the prayers and support of my friends and family. As long as I can keep my head on straight and not let my passions overpower my rational side I’ll make it through this intact.
One of the ways I’ve found so far to keep me stable is to focus on the day to day living. Fretting about the future can be a serious pitfall. I try to think about what needs to be done each day and focus on doing that well and in accordance with God’s will. I continue to serve at church, I continue to do quality work while updating my résumé and I strive to be a good husband and father to my wife and little girl.
I am extremely thankful for all my friends and family for their prayers because support like that is very powerful. One of the best passages from God’s word that was shared with me recently was this one from Paul’s letter to the Philippians:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
my sister gave me a wee small glass frame thing with that very scripture in it and it's very comforting and challenging indeed
I hope you're excited about the new thing that's coming your way :)
I really am excited about it and I think that is a very good sign. And things continue to change also especially now that some folks are starting to jump ship now. That will require the company to adjust assignments.
I think the main thing is to be ready to go when the right time comes. Stay tuned at the same bug time next week and the same bug channel ;-)
