Inspiration Point
There’s a change afoot in our household. Eight days ago I resigned from my job. I have been there a year and believe that it has not been a very good fit. The need for travel is intense, and with the HQ being on the US East Coast, the demands for late night calls very high. I could have discussed reducing these two stressors, but then I would have been a bottleneck in the name of progress. There were other factors that contributed to my deciding to leave, but the main ones were mixed up priorities and not being able to focus on the family. My last day is June 23rd. A few days later we head back to Canada for the summer. We return the first week in August. Shortly thereafter I will begin work in a similar capacity in another company, still based in Hong Kong.
Spiritually, I laboured forever over joining my current company, concerned that I be following God’s will. Similarly, I deliberated this departure for quite some time. I still haven’t figured out if spiritually I made a wrong turn or a right turn a year ago. A friend of mine gave me some very good advice when he said, "In many ways this is a petty decision. It’s really all about what you’re doing with where God places you, not so much where you think you should be or not be." Therefore, I am on the road again. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months. Speaking of being on the road ~ it’s officially cottage season in Canada! We’ll be staying at Fintry for several weeks this summer. In honour of the season officially opening I have posted a picture of Sebastian from a few weeks ago… he’s tubing at about 25 knots in this picture.
