Time for a Change (part 2)

So I have not been talking about a big change in my life, b/c I did not want to jinx it. I put in for a job as a Major Gifts Officer with the Make a Wish Foundation about a month ago. It has been a long, arduous process but I finally got word that I did get the job. I am proud of this accomplishment b/c I was the definite underdog going into this process. Thanks to personal studying and the best mentor/friend a guy could ask for I felt fully prepared to go in and get the job. It is a great feeling to know that I edged out a lot of people for this job that were more qualified on paper than I was. Now it is up to me to prove that the people hiring me made an excellent choice, and I dont intend on disappointing them. They took a chance on me, and I want to prove to them that it was a good chance. It is difficult leaving a job that I have become incredibly comfortably with, but I know this is the kind of career that I need to continue moving forward instead of staying stagnant. I put in my two weeks notice which was incredibly hard to do from an emotional standpoint, b/c my boss is wonderful and I work with some of my best friends and my sister-in-law. The boss said that he was incredibly proud of me and that if I were to ever have the opportunity to better myself he would not stand in the way. He said if you get the chance to have a job that not only benefits you here (pointed to his wallet), but benefits you here (points to his heart) as well he could not be upset at that. It was awesome to know that there were no hard feelings and is a testament to what a great guy that Bruce is. I look forward to starting this new journey and I ask prayers b/c everyday that I am on the job I get the chance to truly make a difference in a sick child's life.
