Door closed, Door OPEN

So, I have resigned from Devon, (and I smile). I worked for Devon for two years. That is the longest I have ever worked for any organization.



Just this week Devon was named the 13th best company to work for. I just left the 13th best company to work for, by Fortune's standards. But what about my standards? It doesn't hit quite as high.



I haven't been working for almost a month and a half now. That is the longest I have ever not worked. And what I have come to understand is that I really haven't missed it.



So what have I missed? Passion. Plainly put, I have missed having a Passion about life and work. It was like my heart couldn't go any more. For two years I have been working in a job that I don't like. I changed half way through, but still nothing. I pressed on for two reasons, MONEY and PARENTS.



Notice Jesus is not in there any where. Laura is not in there anywhere. Now I know that lots of people hate their jobs. I know that most people in this world have no Passion, but for some reason only God knows, it really took a toll on my body, heart and health to stay.


But Jesus is good. He renews your heart and mind. He promises to be all that I need, to give me all that I need. He promises to be my right hand, forgiveness of sin, of Restoration and for joy to by my strength.



Pressing on toward the goal. Pressing on!
