I was nervous about quitting my job. I'm not sure what I expected or feared, but I'd never quit a job before and am at times overly concerned about disappointing people. God is incredibly faithful though. My boss was incredibly kind about my resignation, and has reinforced at least a couple of times that I don't need to be bashful about my decision. I have support that I never expected.
As I walked in to the plant on Friday morning, some members of the management team were standing between me (in the parking lot) and the door. I hoped that they didn't know about my resignation yet because I did not feel prepared to talk with them about it. They knew though, and were also incredibly supportive. They even seemed excited for me! One thanked me for my work with the company and for giving me so much notice, one told me I had a lot of courage, and another told me that he's going to give me a contact at a giant missionary church somewhere that he says I'll need if I decide to do missions work full-time after this DTS. I was so surprised and so blessed. The Lord has given me so much favor in my time working here... I never expected this.
Once I made it to my desk, I told my office-mates so they wouldn't hear "through the grapevine." They were also supportive and encouraging - even celebratory with me. Throughout the day I got to talk with quite a few more coworkers about my upcoming adventure. Everyone is so encouraging! I'm blown away... God is good. I'm really excited about my time remaining here, and pray that it will be a season of blessing for my coworkers as I'm wrapping up/handing off projects and tying up loose ends.
If you make a habit of talking with Jesus, please ask Him to help me finish well. To Him be the glory! :)
