just dropped in for a minute
I'm back to the blog world, I guess for a little while... It's been quite some time. I thought I would have written more often than I have lately... It's been an interesting and trying couple of months.
The company I work for is cutting our tax department and we have a few months to find another job... Let me mention I've only worked for this company for 9 months... My previous employer went out of business last year... I wasn't part of the initial group of departing employees. I had a couple of months left to work... There were a few tax matters to finalize before my position was closed - so I had a couple of months to find another job... I was blessed to find the company I work for now... Needless to say I'm shaking my head in disbelief - thinking "I just went through this less than a year ago."
I finally took a well needed break from my graduate program for a while. I needed time to think about my future, rest, and do nothing... I go back in November, so I have to make sure I get some things done in the meantime because when I go back I have to take my statistics class (yikes) :o Well, again, I'm back. I don't have anything really to talk about, I'm just writing today...
Have you ever prayed and asked God to reveal things to you... I mean really just sat in a room and just prayed and said, "Lord, I really need you on this one. I'm torn and I don't know what to do... Give me the answer..."
Well, I've been a bit emotional lately for a few different reasons - more so this weekend (PMS, as if the fellas really wanted to hear that - but ladies you feel me)... My mind has been on a couple of things, one being my career and the professional path I need to take... I was talking with my mom this weekend or maybe last week about an interview I had in another state. I told her I wasn't sure where they are with the decision making process, and I told her I wasn't sure if I even wanted to move to the state I interviewed... They have an office locally that I would prefer...
The director wanted me to interview with both states to get a feel of a couple of offices within his region... They are hiring for both locations, and if placed with either I would have to travel to the other maybe once a year for project(s)... Well, I felt the interview went well. The director/partner is extremely approachable and professional... I felt comfortable discussing my experiences with him... Well, it's amazing how things work, how signs are given, how God answers prayers...
Today I just cried for hours it seems like, for some reasons I know and others I don't know... My hormones were on blaze and I even had to ask myself why am I crying (haha - Ladies you feel me)... At any rate, enough about my out bursts... What I wanted to share is how I felt when I came home from work today...
I checked my home voice messages, not really expecting any messages... Well, I received a call back for a second interview with the company's office I interviewed with out of state... I'm suppose to interview with the local office... For some reason they haven't set that meeting up at this time... Anyway, the message was they want me to meet a couple of more people within the region and interview with them, they want to know if I will come back to the office out of state... I haven't called her back yet... The main reason is because it's after 6pm and the other, I just need a minute to marinate on my entire day; however, I will call her back tomorrow~
It's amazing... I was just talking to my close friend the other day about my interview I had with them... Telling her I wasn't sure what I wanted to do... Then, today I just prayed about it among other things (basically, I just said, "Lord tell me what I need to do, show me the answers to my questions, give me the strength to handle what comes my way)... ...I prayed that I'd make the best decision for my career and my life overall and for Him to show me where this company's interest is in me and show me other things as well... That prayer was today, this morning, and the phone call was this evening... Need I say, God answers prayers... Some people may think what a coincidence, but I know my relationship with my Father and I know when things can be a coincidence and when God has heard my broken cry... (hmm, 'Broken Cry', sounds like an old spiritual hymn) ~Smile~ Anway, I have some things to think about tonight...
I had something else I wanted to talk about, but I can't remember - plus I have a headache from all this crying... :) Soooo, til I write again...

Awwww Steph!!! *cyber hugs* I called you at work today, by the way.
Girl...girl....girl. I feel you. Totally. Yeah, as I was reading this I was like, "We were just talking about this!" Moving to another state without family is a BIG step. However, at the same time, it may be a good experience for you. Shoot....if you don't like it, move back. Sometimes, you just have to take that chance and step out on Faith. But...at the same time, having family near by is sooo important AND a necessity at times. But you've never actually been far away from your family. It might be a good experience. I don't know girl. This is coming from a girl who wants to move back closer to her family. *sigh* But...I've been away from home for a minute.
Also....if you do make that move, you're still a drive away. You'd be able to drive to and from and I STILL would not have made it home yet. LOL *shaking my head*
Girl...is that an advertisment on here? LMAO Damn! They're hitting up blogs now. Damn telemarketers!
I know, these telemarketers are on blaze!! I deleted the comment from my posting - Lol
I don't know... I never thought about moving to the state we talked about. I would rather work in their Michigan office (which is still an option) - or a state of my desire...
I've been thinking about a few different things and what I need to do with my life and situations... I just need to sit back and reflect and make some decisions on some important concerns~
Thanks for your words :)
Hey ,,,,,,,,,,,,,I hope your having a better day today! sorry to hear about what you have been going through. Dont Worry prayer will fix it! God does not put on you more than you can handle...He has already heard your cry ....so all you have to is you have to put it back in his hands , that what he's there for!
He's setting you up for bigger and better opportunities...Pls look at it that way....Although its hard not to ask why me ..... the best is yet to come and you'll understand later when all is said and done!
Although we would hate to lose you here in MI. If it is in Gods plan for you to venture out to another state :( then follow his call...He knows whats BEST for you!
Scooter,
Where do you think you're going? :) I hope that everything works out in your favor. I know that it will. Just wanted to give you a shout and let you know that I had a chance to read your blog thingy. I even started me an account, can you believe that? I'll holla back soon! Hang in there!
Ahhh! You are a very special person and sometime we just gotta cry it all out. I understand the whole idea of just sitting alone and looking around and realizing, 'hey, I've got tears coming out of my eyes like fountains and I feel weird'.
But, God is good as you've already discovered and He will also show you the light. I'm so happy you were fortunate enough to realize His Blessings. Some times he prepares us for our Blessings in ways we just can't understand, but it's all in some kind of purpose...
Love Ya, D
