I have had to rethink some things lately. Recently I have felt led to change companies. This has caused me to reflect on my career history and the involvement of God in my life choices.

I have realized that I have put way too much faith in money and companies to provide for my financial welfare. No company can provide for me the way that God can. He owns everything and whatever He decides to give me will come my way because it is His will, not mine.

Many times I have applied and landed a job and I don’t feel the presence of God in the company. Sometimes the companies have claimed to be Christian but they struggle to be honest in their business dealings.

Whenever I leave a company there is a bit of sadness. Leaving my present company has been very difficult because I really care for the people who work there, as well as the patients.

On occasion, in the past, I have been terminated from a job and I remember feeling so condemned and worthless. Although I have not been fired very often, in every instance, I knew that God did not want me there. Maybe I should have left sooner so that the company would not be forced to push me out the door.

It is always difficult to change and many times when we are forced to change we think we have failed in some way.

I want to propose a different way to view this. I think that God moves me in and out of circumstances, companies, and relationships to fulfill a purpose. Sometimes this purpose is to teach me a lesson, sometimes it is for me to change the dynamic of a company through the wisdom that God has given me and other times it is for me to gain a friend. Occasionally I score in all three categories. I think I have scored in all three with the present company I am leaving.

When my work is done is it not important for me to ask God where He wants me to go next? In my current circumstance God helped me so much. He opened up another door for me to walk through before I had to close the door to the current company I am working with.

I admire people who work for a company for 10-20 years but that is not how God made me. He made me eager to seek new challenges and adventures and He has given me a life which has been full of such blessings. So I am letting go and moving on and thankful for every step along the way.
