A big day...

Following in a good friend's footsteps, today is "quitting time". That is why all the secrecy the past few weeks. What I've been writing about every time I've been vague has been my job. For various reasons, (that I am WAY too tired to get into right now-you're lucky I have the strength to blog at all) I haven't been able to write about what's been really bothering. But now, because I will be giving my official resignation in 2 hours, I can write about it. Let's just say that this decision to quit my job was never made lightly. I sought a lot of advice from my husband, talked it over with a good friend of mine, asked for prayer about it from our Sunday school class, and for close to 2 weeks straight, every spare moment in my thoughts was spent thinking about if it was a good decision or not. Could I wait just a little longer? Could I just hang on for X amount of time? Needless to say, I feel more confident about this decision than I have about any decision in a very very long time. I actually feel like I have gotten confirmation, peace and assurance from God through this whole thing. I am very grateful that He has spoken to me so clearly.

So today I give my resignation. Next Wednesday when I leave work, it will be the last time I leave work as an employee. Please pray for me that I might leave on a very good note, that I might show characteristics of God in my last few days and be a good witness for Him to my co-workers. Please also pray for other job opportunities. The goal is to continue working through the year. I have 3 interviews/possible interviews already and will most likely make a decision among those three. Please pray that my scardy cat tendencies do not hold me back from making a good choice about where my next job should be.

**Big sigh**So here I go...hi ho, hi ho, off to work I go...
