Starting something new...

Next week I will be starting a new job. While it is not very "new" in a lot of ways, I am still very nervous about the change. It is not very "new" because 1 - it is just across the parking lot from where I have been working, 2 - it is still working with the same population, 3 - my job description is going to be very similar to my current one. I am nervous because working at my current location has been a good experience that I am sad to leave. What if I do not like the new job? What if I give up a perfectly good job and then can't get it back? It's a chance that I am going to take...

Actually I am not usually so fearful of change. This is the first time in my life that I actually remember making a decision and then actually "looking back". I have been praying for God to lead me in the direction that He wants me to go. I feel that we need to listen for God's urgings daily and not just in the "big" decisions. I am taking his leadings day by day and trying and praying to live in his will. In making this decision, I have already learning something. I have learned that no matter what choice you are trying to make, there are going to be people that give you advice and opinions that lean both ways. In the end YOU are the only one that can make the choice.
