I needed prayer, so I went to my best friend, I knew I could count on her, and she didn't let me down. I have been torn apart this last few weeks. I have been seeking an opportunity to work for a company that would put me back into Real Estate.
I loved my job where I would help so many people to regain their ability to take care of a defaulted loan. This was not an easy job by no means, and it takes a person with listening skills, and know when your being taken for a ride by the client in most cases.
I was in the middle of accepting an offer that would pay me for the hours worked, with overtime as this is a new start up business. I was torn between walking away from friends I had made over the last year and a half, and I am always scared to death of change, and start into a new job. I thought it over yesterday morning and really knew I could not go to work without knowing my best friend would be praying for me. I couldn't sleep that morning so I wrote Cyndi (my wife) a note to please pray that I could have some peace on making the right decision. I came home last night and she said thank you for the note, and assured me she was praying.
Long story short, I made the decision to take the job. I hated giving notice as this company will literally give you an exit interview, and at the same time have your manager box up your belongings from your desk, and you would then be ushered out the door.
I was given the opportunity to talk to both my manager and supervisor, and an HR person, along with the President of the company. They all stated that if things do not work out, the door is always open. My heart really was in pain at this point. My two supervisors were teary eyed, and I could not stand what I was going through. I hate making others hurt.
I was questioning my decision as I walked out the door. Once in my truck to come home, I chatted with my wife, who assured me I had done the right thing, you see she too had worked there with me, and had left six months ago. She knew what it was like, and she also feels we did make the right decision. Over dinner I knew it was the right way to go. A heavy lift off my shoulders happened and I felt like I had lost ten pounds.
Monday I start my new job. I will be trained to do one thing, not a multitude of duties as I was doing up till today. I am excited and also scared, LOL.
Just wanted to let you know that I cannot do this stuff alone, nope, cannot do it, don't want to do it that way, and I am thankful for having my best friend with me during this time.
If you have been following my blog you all know what Cyndi has gone thru, and I am here to tell you all, she is amazing. God has allowed her to get back up on her feet and started back to work and is doing well.
I hope to be as good of an asset going to the next job, as the one I left. I give God the praise for allowing me to do my best for Him.
It's a wonderful thing when your spouse is your best friend. I know, because I had it wrong the first time, and then I did it right =) In between, I knew that's what was missing from my first marriage... to the father of my daughter. So before marrying again, I was praying for God to send me someone who was my friend first. And God is so cool. My husband was right under my nose, as one of my friends, for 2 years before we started dating. We dated for about a year and a half before getting married. We celebrated our 10th anniversary a few months ago. And his prayers are the most powerful too! When God puts people together, He really does it right. =D
I'm so glad that Cyndi's doing better. And I hope you absolutely love your new job.
