Why is it that sometimes in life all you can do is dream of all the changes you wish to see in your life and pray for the day when they finally come, and other times it feels like change never stops? I feel like it is never ending for me, and not gonna lie, I kind of like it.
First school ended so I am now a university graduate. Crazy. Now my job is changing. I am now one of the assistant coordinators for the City of Abbotsford's Summer Day Camps. Basically I get to plan camps in June and then hang out with kids all summer in the sun, driving them to the wave pool, sleeping over and having girl chats, and building relationships with these lil strangers that will be my new lil buddys by the end of the week. Needless to say I am stoked.
However, this new change didn't come without it's share of difficulty. I was burning out from serving. I do not know how people can do it full time for so long. I have been there for 2 years and there were too many moments of losing my cool and I was not liking who I was there. However, the money is really good there so you kind of get trapped into it. As well, the people there are great. But I knew it was time to move on, regardless of the pay cut that I was going to take. I was going to have to leave eventually and this job just all fell into place and I would be silly to ever pass it up.
So I have now quit my job, booked a plane ticket to Montreal on Saturday to go visit my best friend and her fiance, will come back, hopefully go to Whistler for the weekend for our year end youth leader retreat and then start my new job June 4. So excited to be working with amazing new people and to be starting something that I have never done before.
If you could pray for a safe trip to Montreal filled with quality time with my best friend and lots of rest so I am refreshed for this new position, I would really appreciate it. No one ever said change was easy and I am in no way expecting it, but something that I am really learning is you can't always do it on your own-no matter how badly you want to.
