I know I have shared with some - possibly on this blog - that I wanted to be sure I was doing what God wanted me to do with my life - careerwise. Well, I have taken the first BIG step toward this - Monday I resigned from Wells Fargo effective Monday. There has been a lot that has gone on this past year and while I am very thankful for the job I had with Wells Fargo, it's time for me to move on - and take a little time for myself to do some soul searching. You are along for the ride to see where this adventure takes me and how God leads me to my final destination.
I need to do some more serious soul searching and spending time in prayer to come up with the field of work I want to be in - the desires of my heart - to honor God and the talents He's given me. I know I have always had a heart for people - children especially - and animals - so we'll see.
A week or so ago I received a flyer in the mail from Medi-Share, a Christian health sharing organization, and started thinking about wanting to carry my own "insurance" so that health insurance never would be an issue. Never even thinking that a few days later I wouldn't have health insurance. While I truly like what I see with these health sharing organizations, unfortunately I'm not sure they will meet my needs, so I may have to purchase a regular single insurance policy. Stay tuned.
I love my pastor and his wife - they had time to meet with me this morning at 9:00 a.m. to pastor me, help me learn to have a better daily walk with God, to seek His will and cry. I told them next time I'd bring my own Kleenex :) But while meeting with them I had an "aha" moment or as I shared with them later today in an email God "whacked me upside the head" to realize something that was very important. Message received :)
Two things I've said different times since Mike passed is that I'm almost 50 and I'm the only one that's here to take care of myself from a financial standpoint. Well......I am almost 50 and can't do anything to change that and that's ok......but I'm not the only one that's here to take care of me - that's God's job and that's what He wants to do as my heavenly father, I need to have the faith to let Him.
So - all prayers, positive thoughts, well wishes, and of course hugs will be appreciated as we all start this journey.
BUTLER UPDATE: you knew I couldn't blog without a Butler update :) I came home from my errands this morning and all was good. Speedo wet, everything covered that should be covered and nothing messed with in the eating area. So when I had to go out this afternoon I sat down in a chair, took Butler by the face and talked to him telling him I was going to trust him and not put a Speedo on him, etc. I came home and no pee on the floor - yes. Then I turned to look in the eating area and he had pulled almost everything off the kitchen table which included what was left of Mike in his heart-shaped container along with the tablecloth. I just looked at him, told Butler he had knocked Daddy onto the floor and laughed.
