Where the Amazing Happens

Some would say this post is perhaps a little premature. Or just too early. This is very much an 'inconclusive' post.

Essentially, I’m in a period of transition at the moment. The long and short (or probably long) of it is that I’m trying to make a slight career change. Nothing too drastic, just a little change - long because job applications are just short of asking for your ancestral DNA these days. Which is not good. Having said that, I’m applying for different roles, most of them within my comfort zone, which is comfortable and easy.

A few weeks ago, as I sat in thought on my commute to work I wondered what life would look like if I changed jobs? I like stability and being a homeowner with a property and bills, these thoughts do not come lightly. However, deep in my waters, I felt the urge for change.

Yesterday (admittedly after SEVERAL prompts from God and others), I took the plunge, searched back through my emails back to Aug 2019, came across an old email and called a recruiter in the Pharmaceutical industry and just wanted to have a chat to see what was on offer and partly to say ‘I’d done it’. I’d ticked off what God had prompted me to do, and that would be it. I didn’t leave my comfort zone - back to regular programming. Big Pharma? Was that really me though? I did not think so.

Fast-forward less than 24 hours later, I have an interview. Do not ask me how I got there, I wouldn't know what to tell you. It just all happened very quickly. Now, I don’t have the job yet (a good opportunity it seems) but I’m curious to see what will happen next. Hence the first line of this blog - this post could be very premature. I could be assuming. It could be too early. This could just be a stepping stone - who knows. I am definitely putting myself out there with this post. I'm stepping out. Whatever the outcome, that's ok. Either way, I’m good.

Why is it ok? Because I know my Father. I know that all my moves and steps are divinely ordered and placed. Every single thing. Why are they all planned? Because I asked my Father to handle my business - I asked Him to manage my life some years back and He has not disappointed. Have I felt disappointed? Yes. Many times. But I can’t rely on my feelings - I must go with what I KNOW. I must stick to the FACTS (weirdly scientific!). Please see said fact below:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

My Father has good plans for me, they’re not disastrous. Good things will come my way because my Father has it all under control. His track record is pretty impressive.

He’s not a detached figure in the sky that won’t come into your lifeless ordinary - He’s your Father too, so trust Him with your next moves - the amazing will happen.

I trust the keeper of the stars - He holds my entire world.

If you’re a believer (or not!), breathe a prayer for me - I’d like to see where this all ends.

Perhaps check back in with me in a month's time - things could be the same or very different - but I’m not wavering.

Here's a song that captures my sentiments:
