Here's to a new adventure!

Today was not this first day of this adventure. I chose to walk out of a job that I’ve always known…where I was somewhat comfortable, loved and known…THAT…was the first step. Today was more of the 3rd and 4th step. I think I can say that I’m officially on my own. I am in a job that no one but God gave me and brought me. I am in a Bible study class where no one really knows me. There are a few people that I know, but not like what I was immersed in for the past 7 years of my life. This is a lonely step of faith, but it’s also one that has to be done. I have to go into survival mode and keep pressing forward. I have to keep my eyes on the One that does know me, because He’s all I have at the moment. He keeps me company and doesn’t leave me alone to my thoughts. In some ways, I feel like most of me is missing, but I think God is just replacing that missing part of me. To be honest, it’s rather scary and I feel very vulnerable, but at the same time, this is such a huge opportunity! It’s an opportunity for me to grow on my own (by that I mean without my friends and family to rely on) and to become more of the woman God wants me to be. A woman I need to be. I’m not sure what the next year is going to look like, but I can’t think about it that much. I need to take in each moment as it is. One thing I’ve learned is to never plan too far ahead…it never turns out the way you think or the way you wanted. That’s not really a bad thing, just can be discouraging at times. Tomorrow is day two of this new experience…I hope it goes well! Good night world.
