Back to Work

I have officially started working again. Granted it is a part time gig, but I am having a great time so far.

The past two years, I have been blessed. I have been able to stay home and care for my son, taking myself out of the work force. It was a great couple of years, and I hadn't planned on leaving the home. Then, it happened. I wasn't looking for a job, but one presented itself in the form of part time customer service for a local insurance agent. At first, I blew it off thinking that it just wasn't something that I was prepared for. The longer I thought about it, though, the more I was impressed that I should take a second look. It was time that I listened and responded to the prompting that I felt; the prompting that could have only come from God. How do I know that it was from God? Simple...it wasn't an easy decision, or a comfortable move. God was presenting a new challenge for me, and I chose to take it.

I have now had about a month in this new job, and I can honestly say I love it. There are still challenges that I am facing, as I am still learning al the ins and outs of insurance, but this is great. It is just what I needed. I feel that God is blessing me everyday...I am looking forward to going to work, wondering what new things I will learn; what new challenges will I face. It is exciting, and I never would have thought that insurance would be this exciting! Ha!

This has taught me a great lesson as well. I hate to admit it, but I am usually one that looks for the simple answers. This has been anything but simple, but I am being rewarded for it. God loves to stretch us. He wants us out of of comfort zone, and growing. Well, this is just that, and I am so glad that I listened and responded to the prompting I felt from Him.
