A Bold Step???
Well, tomorrow marks my last day at a job that I absolutely despise. No more white lab coat, no more cubicle, no more having to write in either blue or black ink (I was made for colorful writing utensils).
I have to admit, it was a pretty impulsive move by putting in my two weeks notice, especially when I had no other job to fall back on right away. But for the last two weeks, my shoulders have felt 100 pounds lighter. I've even gotten a few really good night sleeps. My head doesn't constantly hurt and I do believe that I have smiled and laughed quite a bit more than previous weeks.
But what do I do now? I quit my job with the belief that God was going to take care of me and provide something...somehow. I still hold that belief, but I can't help but worry. What if I can't pay my rent in February? What if my dog starves because I can't buy her food? What if quitting was too impulsive of a move to make in the first place? What if I can't put gas in my car so that I can see my family? What if they shut off my electricity? What if...
I could go on forever. But rather, I'm going to sit back, drink some hot cocoa, and look heavenward...asking my awesome God to take care of me and believe WHOLE HEARTEDLY that He will.

As long as you put your whole heart and faith into knowing that God will take care of you... he will send you more blessings than you know what to do with. It helpes sometimes to be specific in your prayers but to also remember that God sometimes has a different idea in mind and throws you a curve ball.
But it is sometimes exciting to not know what will happen next, but also very frightening. I know that something 100 times better will soon be on its way.
We will keep you in our prayers

Yup, there's lots praying for you. His care is around you even now (how did you end up this far, anyway?). He will not fail you.

wow! more power to you girl!
life is too short to spend it doing something we hate.
find a job you fully believe in! in order to do that, i had to go back to school and work at a job i only merely enjoy . . .
you can do it!
