Day One-again

Well now I've gone and done it! Today life finds me in a completely new phase of life. Can we have new phases of life when we're 35? I hope so! Over the course of the last year it has become increasingly clear to me that I have been headed in the wrong direction. I keep moving towards a goal of moving up a professional ladder of managing people in big business. I am not entirely sure how I ended up here. I thought to myself that I was really good at it so I should keep going. The only down side was that it wasn't giving me life, instead it was slowly breaking me down. I didn't recognize myself anymore. I felt bitter, pessimistic, sour and down right annoying. And that was from my own perspective!! Who knows how you felt about me! The Lord let me keep moving forward and I believe someday I will understand why He has wanted me to learn so much about that kind of work. But finally we both have said, "Enough is enough."

So now I am working 3 days a week at my current "professional" job and 2 days a week from home honing my writing skills and figuring out what's next. In mid December I will leave the safety, security and stability of my current job and focus on being who I am--a writer. It's very scary. The Lord is certainly asking me to step out on what feels like a shaky branch. I suppose that'd be an olive branch. I am going to get back into this blog and will put up writings, articles, musings, and general thoughts about this journey I am on. I don't know what the next 90 days let alone 90 months look like and it may change drastically in no time flat. The only promise I will make here in print is that I am going to keep trying and keeping searching after what He wants. I know if I do that I can't go wrong!
