Time for a Change (Part 3)

Well in a little over a month my life has drastically changed. I am set on losing some extra pounds, I will have a new job Friday and now for part 3 of my crazy life:

Tomorrow Amy and I will be closing on a brand new house. We had to jump through some hurdles to make sure that we could get the house closed on time, but in less than 2 weeks we figured out a way. I cannot believe it! So we will officially close the house tomorrow and the next day I will begin my new job. I have been so stressed lately, but God has blessed our family so much and I owe him all the glory. I will be posting pics of the house in the next few days.

As I mentioned earlier tomorrow will be my last day at my current job and I have been running through so many emotions lately. For the most part I am thrilled to death that I have been blessed with such a great opportunity. I am sad though that I am leaving this job that I have been doing for the past four years and that I have grown so accustomed to. I am scared that I am entering into a job where I have no experience other than what I have gained through personal study.

I feel that God lead me to my current job for a multitude of reasons. I was considering
joining the Army to support my wife and I. I was thinking about this because I wanted to make sure that Amy was provided for the way that she should be. I took all the tests and had all the medical stuff out of the way, however Amy and her family suggested that maybe I consider all my options. Long story short that lead me to the job at State Farm and allowed me to learn more about Amy's family, reconnect with good friends, and help me to pursue my college degree. For these reasons and so many more I will forever be thankful that God lead me to State Farm.

So the next chapter in my life is beginning, and while it may be difficult to let go of the current one I know that I have to so I can continue to grow into the provider role. I look forward to learning and growing into this new role and getting to know my new coworkers and I cannot wait to begin this new journey!
