Things are changing. Tomorrow is my last day of work. Next week is my last week of class. The last time that I will ever be in school for the foreseeable future. The last time I will ever walk into the office and see the faces I have grown to know and love.
In the midst of all this change, only one thing is certain.
I am not the same person as when I began.
My work style, thoughts, knowledge, reactions and heart have been transformed by these people and experiences. And for that- I am forever thankful.
Before interviewing for my job, I spent time praying for God to open this door if it was His will. He opened the door and has been there at every twist and turn. He provided beyond what I could possibly ever imagine, not with money or power but with people, relationships and experiences. Co-workers that have turned into dear friends and mentors. A front row seat to learn from the best and the brightest.
He provided in the way that only He can. Looking back, it is so obviously all from God. He knew me better than I knew myself and provided accordingly.
My overly sentimental self craves moments like this where I can look back and see the ways in which God worked throughout each chapter. The ending of a chapter allows you to reflect in a way that you just can’t when you are in the midst of it. It brings meaning to what might have felt mundane. It is sentimental moments like these that make me so excited for the moment when Jesus will be able to explain to me the meaning behind all of those painful or confusing moments of life.
Until then, I am just going to enjoy being overly sentimental.
It's so beautiful to see how aware you are of God's over flowing blessings in your life!!!
