A New Job, New Changes And New Chances For Personal Evaluation
Three Mondays ago, I began a whole new routine in life. I was hired to work at a new job.
Here it is again.
Here it is again.
Change.
Change, and a new season.
I've experienced so many changes, "setbacks" and new seasons in the past five years. I think drastic changes have accounted for the fact that I notice them in my recent years more so than I had in my past. These new changes have brought with them some strange and new reactions that have startled even me. But the best thing that came out of these succession of changes is that I am learning how to navigate them all with God's help. Most of those changes only He could see me through. And the delight that occurred as He became my closest friend in my times of trouble, helped me anchor my heart to Him even more so than I ever had before.

This new job.
Life has a way of doing what it does. Sometimes we don't know how we will react until we are faced with this thing or that. I've encountered so much change that I almost find change to be a well-known friend that challenges me to embrace what comes and find that the challenges lets me see my inner progress as a person. I have been very happy with the person I've found myself to be in this newest job - without straining to try and be someone I'm not.
I always have wondered what it is like to be a genuine person with good character on the inside. And all the recent years of heartache and pain, with suffering and sorrow and even the sense of darkness in all that - became a friend....all of it God used to change me deeply on the inside.
I sometimes suffer a little from insecurity in situations I don't feel comfortable in. I'd rather not be the person I was back in the day. That person who was too much in the spotlight with a large social network. I shy from all that is the grand ideal in this life. Finding God alone to be my true and personal Savior in everything I go through is the greatest joy of my life. And if suffering and change and the challenges that all those things bring, brings me to God - this is why my new job brings with it joy. God has to bring me through all this yet again. Another challenge He wants to help me in and be my Savior in.
Change is good.

God uses these shifts to sift out the old and pour in anew.
