The season has definitely changed! My oldest son has moved out on his own, my middle son is a junior in high school and that then toddler is almost 11 years old. We've bought a house and the economy has changed drastically from when I started my part time job. Now I am at a crossroads. I need a full time job to help our family live a bit more comfortably and put away a little more for our future. The flip side is entering back into the full time rat race. I saw one of my former (and favorite) supervisors the other day and we were talking about retirement and he says, "What's wrong with work if you love what you do?" It made me realize that I need not only a full time job but also something I love doing. I tend to be my worse enemy when job searching. I'll see something that I think is perfect for me but then I talk myself out of it before I even apply. Part of it is fear of the unknown, fear of starting over at some place new and stepping out of my comfort zone. But the time has come, time for a new season. I know God will put me where I should be be. I need to just shake the fear and step out on faith!
