One day at a time

Well, I can easily say that this is one of the hardest posts I've had to write. But I told myself this blog was meant to document my life and for my life to be shared with those that I love, so here it is; the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between.

This is all very fresh, but I figure it's easier to write on a blog rather than have to tell a hundred different times (which I'm sure I'll still have to do regardless, and I'm sorry if you talk to me and I start crying...that's been happening a lot the last day or so.) Yesterday was my last day at my job with the Youth Network. It all come as a shock, but Tony and I talked and he felt like I wasn't the right fit for the job. I could go into detail, but no thanks. He did it with respect and praised my character, but didn't feel like I was who they needed for that job. He even prayed for me before I left, which meant a lot. But all of that said, I packed up and went from employed to unemployed within an hour.

I am not meaning this post as a "woe is me, feel bad for me" plea. But instead, I'm swallowing my pride, letting go, and letting God. Sometimes God does big things to get our attention and He definitely has mine. I don't have a back up plan, but I have some ideas. I'm praying lots, working up at camp still on the weekends and with the Children's ministry during the week at First Pres. I am planning on staying in Chattanooga until I have exhausted every single last option because if anything, Chattanooga is the only thing I'm sure of right now.

This first year out of college is anything from what I've expected, but God has done so much and blessed me in so many ways that I really have to look right now at what I am grateful for. So here's to the next chapter of my life and trust me, I've given up on making plans for it! I'm just taking it one day at a time...

To say I am surprised is an understatement. However, this IS God's plan for you. The door to returning to school is open wide...
Just remember, as you go through struggles in life, you will grow stronger as the result. AND, you are greatly loved.
See you soon!
