Emotionally Draining Weekend

I had hoped to post more in the past week, but let me tell you....it's been one of the toughest weeks I've ever had. Some may be thinking busy....as that can make weeks rather hard, but I'm talking more emotionally difficult! For quite some time now I've been praying that the Lord show us if I am to take another job. I know He wants the absolute best for me and wants me to be happy in my job.

I went into my current job with every intention of staying there. However, with time I learned that my heart was not there. As much as I wanted it to be, it just wasn't. When I was in college I learned that sales is a field I was very interested in. After working almost two years in the agriculture industry, a career in sales became even more evident. As many people do, I kept my resume updated on Monster, as I never think that hurts. Not all that long ago, I received a call from a recruiter who was very interested in helping me find an agronomy sales position. I was open to the idea and so began my search. He came to me with many options, however many of which I had to turn down due to location and not wanting to relocate. Then one day, he came to me with a job that sounded ABSOLUTELY perfect!! It was not only in the area we wanted, but also offered everything and more. I prayed that the Lord lead me in the direction that I was to go and that it be clear to me. I've learned that God's plan for me is the VERY best, so I want exactly what he has for us....not just what I want. As time went on, and interviews were made.....I was feeling very good about this position. Finally, last Friday I received a call that literally had me jumping with joy! They had offered me the position and all the benefits I needed and wanted. God is SO good!!

Now the hard part came this weekend when I had to break the news to my employers, who are also my family members (two uncles and my grandpa). I care very much for them, and in no way wanted to disappoint them or make them angry. It was an emotionally draining weekend having to tell them, and so far just have one uncle left to tell. It's been one of the toughest things I have had to do in my life....but know that I am doing what's best because it's where God is leading me. He will take care of everything that comes my way! He always has, and He always will! My complete trust and faith is in Him!

I am now officially an agronomy sales specialist!! Yeah! Praise the Lord!! :)
