Let me premise this post by saying I am very grateful for the life I have. I am grateful for the very fact that I have choices and decisions to make.
Anyone who knows me and my particular employment situation knows that it has been my hope and dream to work very close to home. But, the odds were not looking good; there have been a ton of changes at my current company and I had reconciled myself that to move forward I would have to leave eventually. I believe that if you are open to the answer you will receive direction. I have had my eye on another company for a long time.
So, a position at this other company is posted. I apply. It is a long involved application process. I wait. As God wills.
Then yesterday, at 4pm - the position in my company at the location I so desperately wanted is posted. I would be able to walk to work. I would be close to my children. I would be so much for accessible for the family. I would save money on gas. My pay would not go up dramatically but I could live with that considering all the other benefits.
This is a highly coveted position. I would be only one of many qualifed people applying but I would emit the fewest carbon emmissions getting to work! That has got to count for something.
And the funny thing is that at this point I have no decisions to make as neither place has offered me a job - this is just the preamble...
So, I will focus on enjoying today. Game day. 5pm. Go Bears Go! And delight in the time with my family.
