After coming back from my mission trip , I really was thinking about how I could apply what I learned and felt in Haiti back to my community in PA.
I know I came back with greater faith, a new lens and new perspective on my daily life. I once complained about things that I dare not complain about now. More than anything I wanted to make a greater impact for Christ.
I stayed very active in my church, active in my community, looked at my work differently, etc….. and then something started to happen. I felt like God was about to start shifting some things.
Words like preparation, transition, influence …..were starting to circulate in my heart and spirit.
I was starting to feel an unease and restless, like there was more that I was being called to do.
I prayed and prayed and God spoke.
I felt God telling me that it was time to transition from job. I prayed that God would prepare my husbands heart as I revealed this news to him. I wrote down pros and cons to leaving and just shared my heart and what God was saying.
We prayed about it that week and then were in agreement that it was time to move forward. That next Monday I resigned. Due to having a higher position I gave a two months notice in order for there to be a smooth transition.
I had speaking engagements that were to come later in the year and I felt God telling me to cancel them. So I did.
It felt like God was clearing the room for something. Something big. Our job was to be obedient and have faith and God would do the rest.
Mission = Faith.
