I am not good with change. We all know this. So when I went on an interview mid April for a secretary position at the Middle School, I really wasn't expecting much. After all, I was completely comfortable at the Hotel. I was good at my job. I knew the ins and outs of that hotel. I loved (and still do) my bosses and co-workers and they love me. Absolutely nothing prompted a move. However, those same amazing bosses have only ever wanted what was best for me and have always told me to go after a dream. No matter what the dream may be, pick one and go after it. Middle School Secretary isn't really a dream job, but I truly believe it is a step in the right direction. Coping with the complete 360 degree turn my life has taken has been tough; however, I feel it was right. This was made evident by a quote a member from my small group class recently shared with me:
"Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.” ~Charles Spurgeon
Do I miss Chef with every fiber of my being? If you know me at all then you know the answer to that one is a resounding YES. He was and still is my absolute best buddy on the planet. Good thing is, he's only a phone call and ten minutes away. I have talked to him every day. Already been to visit twice. Spent a day at the Soup Kitchen with the rest of the crew. Sure, distance makes it harder. Not having my backup singer for every Bon Jovi/Justin Timberlake/Spice Girls song is tough. Not having someone to laugh with about my insane family or share a chuckle and a nod with over an inside joke sucks, but knowing that Divine Providence led me to a friend for life and now to this place where I have already been able to spend more time in the Word than I have in the past month... I have to believe that this is right. If only for right now.
It's new. It's scary. It's MIDDLE SCHOOL. It's a brand new adventure.
So, join me as I travel the world of Middle School and Beyond!
