My last day at Deloitte will be April 15th. I've quit a job that pays extremely well, that provides great benefits, and that challenges me every week. All this has been done under the guise of returning to school, but I'm not sure that is going to happen. This decision to resign seems more stupid each time I consider it. I have left complete security and financial stability for the unknown.
In preparing for this shift, I have been reading for the first time in months and came across the following quote. "I wonder at some points if I'm being irresponsible or unwise. But then I realize there is never going to come a day when I stand before God and he looks at me and says, 'I wish you would have kept more for yourself.'" How true that is! All the security and affluence can never compare to knowing God as a provider. Yes, the unknown is scary and not without struggles, but I am looking forward to it with hope and with joy. For it is high time for me to decrease and Him to increase.
Haynes, I have so many "sayings" I would like to share with you. The first two that came to my mind as soon as I read this was " ALL I HAVE SEEN TEACHES ME TO TRUST THE CREATOR FOR ALL I HAVE NOT SEEN' and 'WEALTH IS NOT MEASURED BY WHAT YOU HAVE BUT BY WHAT YOU HAVE FOR WHICH YOU WOULD NOT TAKE MONEY" Oh, just one more "WHEN YOU SACRIFICE YOUR CONSCIOUS FOR MONEY....YOU BURN THE PICTURE TO GET THE ASHES'. The best advice that I can give you that I wish someone had told me at your age is that you have to respect authority in your job regardless whether they are right or not. Just remember never to be disrespectful to anyone and try to express how grateful you are for the wonderful opportunity they gave you and leave on good terms, Finding out what you do not like is just as important as finding what you do like. Just realize nothing is perfect. I have worked many places and found good and bad in each one. I pray God will bless you with the wisdom to find HIS way.....and that might mean you decide to humble yourself and ask for your job back until you have a peace about what you want to do, whether it is going back to school or another job you know you would like .Trust in God and do the right and you wlll be just fine. I love you, Mama Boo
