Today was bittersweet. I had to give notice to the company I've worked almost 11 years for. They've been good to me. When my husband was sick, they were understanding about my hours. When I went full time at the church, they kept me on part time and never complained that I didn't do as much as I had before. I've gained a lot of knowledge and experience there, and met a lot of great people. So, the finality of giving them my resignation letter was a little scary. Today, I took a leap. It's a little scary to leave what I know and where I'm known and respected and go where I'm unknown. There are new things to learn and new rules to follow. And, even though I work with teens now, it's a little different setting.
Don't get me wrong. I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing and where I'm supposed to be going. I'm sure once I get started I'll be fine. But, the transition is going to make life interesting for awhile.
So, where was God today? I'm pretty sure He helped me write that letter. And, then He was right next to me during my meeting with my boss. Beforehand, I was nervous for some reason. But, when I went in there, all of that disappeared.

This morning I wrote on facebook about making a difference, doing a random act of kindness, or an intentional act of kindness and encouraging others to do something today. I realized today was also the birthday of someone who I always think of when I mention "Random Acts of Kindness." He was always very kind to me and somehow, he knew when I needed help and he was there. I try to pay it forward now. So, when I do something, I think of him. It's my way of thanking him since I can't say it in person. I miss him.
Matthew 5:16 NLT
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
Blessings,
Jennifer
