Indecision and Unanticipated Blessings
Many of you have heard that I started a new job on Monday. However, many of you don't know why I felt I needed to find a new job.
I spent this summer working at a wonderful residential treatment center with the most fantastic girls. I was able to see a lot of growth in those girls and in myself. It was so great to see the power of positivity in a person's life.
Plus I the girls I had the blessing to be able to help were fantastic. I have many different descriptions of these girls...they are like toasted marshmallows or tootsie pops or warm cookies...they are a little crusty and hard on the outside but their insides are gooey and wonderful.
However, recently this job has been really hard for me. I am still not sure if it is because I was going through something personally or what changed. But I had been thinking more and more that it was time for a change in my life. It was time to see what direction I was supposed to head next.
And so, I acted on the prompting I felt to look for a new job. I honestly thought that it was going to be just like the last time I looked for a job--a whole lot of job hunting and barely any job finding.
Anyway, I just happened on an ad for an administrative assistant at Younique, which is a makeup company that focuses on helping women find their inner beauty and individual worth. Anyone who knows me knows that I am extremely passionate about these two things. So I applied. And through what i am assuming is a whole lot of Divine intervention I got the job.
And I had to leave my girls. I had to leave a place that has done so much good for me in my life. And I still don't really understand all of the reasons. I know that I am always going to look back on this summer and be grateful for the impact that it had on my life.
But I know, I KNOW, that this job and this timing are not coincidences. I am a big believer in a Heavenly Father who knows and guides our lives. And so, though it was so hard to choose to leave, I am so excited to start this new part of my journey.
