Jobber

Last night Ryan and I labored over the decision to either quit my job, or continue to stay on part time. We ended up deciding I would quit. Dad and Jenny gave me that amazing gift so that I would not have to work. Okay. This was what I decided and I would walk in faith. And then I woke up this morning and felt like it would be okay if I stayed around. The belabored decision has been completely unmade.

Mike and I went to a friend's newly bombed apartment to decide the design of the remodel. He actually listened to me and enjoyed my ideas. It was great. The client really listened which is always good. I had thought I would talk to him on the way home, but I just didn't feel like it was the right time.

When we got back to the office, there was a resume on the desk of a woman looking for a design job (she had been referred by one of the canvas guys). At first I was resentful. Nobody wants to be replaced, but I decided to take it upstairs to Mike myself. We had a couple things to go over and then I spilled the beans.

I reminded him that Friday would be my last full time day. I showed him the resume. I let him know I was on his team and was willing to do anything to help. I understood the trouble it takes to train someone. We brainstormed together about how to make this better next time. I let him know I was available to help out and if this girl did not work out, maybe I could come back in Spring.

Essentially, it was his choice, and we left it that Friday would be my resignation. I know he still wants me to work there. I know I have learned so much. This is the biggest blessing. He made the decision and I think we both feel great about it.

Thank you Lord.

All things work for the good of those that love Him.
