Changes & Peace


My dean has asked me to return to Enrollment Services because of the down turn in the economy. There isn't a reason to have a four person Outreach team in these times, so my days of being a representative for the college will be complete at the end of this month. I knew there were changes coming... the writing is on the wall. Surprisingly, I am OK with it. A few months ago I might not have felt the same, but because of what is happening in the economy etc we all have to do what is best to survive. At least, I will have a job, right?

Peace is really important. It is to be guarded, the Bible says. Paul said that he was able to be content in "all things". And Peace is how I know God's will for me sometimes. Because I am at peace with this new change in my working situation, I know that God's hand is on it. I will also have the cheerfulness etc to accept the duty without complaining or bad feelings which is important to my witness. Who wants to see a person pouting etc especially when others need to see someone dodging etc with ease because they know God is on His throne.

I will miss going out with my friends from other colleges. I will miss presenting etc for the college. But I can bring my friends together... I am sure of that. And, God has placed something in my heart to begin "Outreaching" for Him rather than the college. I will explain that later, but it has to do with my church. But the things I do for Outreach at GRCC that I like are because of pieces of my personality... not just because it is for GRCC.

So... I better get rolling. I have lots to do. Have a good day everyone! Tomorrow I will write about the snow that we have had the last few days. :-P Yes, that is right... snow. Where is the Spring? Oh and if you get the chance... check out my cousin Melea's storytelling interview online. The link to it is HERE.

Hi Danna, I am glad you have peace in the change. Lots of things are happening at my job to. I could even go to graveyard and I am sure it would also mean a cutback in hours. So who knows. I know that you will take your pretty smile and love for God will follow you wherever you go. Hugs
