Wow. I just left my job. I have never been unemployed in my life. I have worked since I was 17; actually longer if you count all the years of babysitting I have done. I never realized how we are conditioned to work from the time we turn 6 years old. All day, every day, 5 days a week when we learned to get up and go to school. Then we are expected to do another 4 in college and then 4ever be out there amongst the living working. How the heck did I know what wanted to do or be. I have never NOT worked though. Although I am happily married, I never became a mother so I never stopped to raise a child. I never stopped to simply smell the roses. To enjoy life. To breathe. To simply "be". I have always made a living for myself. Now don't get me wrong because if I never worked I would not be blogging right now b/c I wouldn't have a computer. So believe me, I understand the good old American way. For me and only me did I need something truly miraculous and truly of God for me to stop and question my true purpose on this earth.
By the way I never mentioned that the job I left paid handsomely and was my place of being for over 12+years. And I left it with no replacement job; no savings; no net; no warning...I left it simply because I heard the sweet, soft voice of God whisper as only He could, "It's time".
Jeremiah 29:11
