Reminder

Today at work, we had a companywide annual update meeting. Because next month is my "one year" mark, it's my first annual meeting.  We got an update on our finances, our retirement plans, and had "story time" with some of our employees.  I work in the corporate office, so I rarely get to see or hear about what goes on outside this office unless it's negative. These stories about the families and lives we're changing literally brought me to tears.   I've been passively looking for a new job.  After applying for the HR Generalist position, and a payroll position, and not hearing anything back, I made the conclusion that I would be stuck in my assistant job for a while.    After today, I realize why my efforts were nothing more than passive... why I never felt pressured to get out and look... I love my job. I love our company.    I look at this picture from my first day of work where I was overwhelmed and exhausted and oh... overwhelmed. I laugh.

  Sometimes, God gives me very subtle reminders as to why He has me where I am at any given moment.  This is your mission field, I once heard someone say. Sure this company may not provide me my career... it may not be the place from which I retire.... but I'm here now... for this season of my life... and I am so richly blessed.
