I am relearning some old life lessons since putting in my resignation at work.
Sadly, I have seen this with both friends from our formal church ... and once again with soon to be ex-work colleagues.
I find it amazing how people can write "I am so happy for you" and "Oh you will be so missed" and then completely write you off as a person... almost as if you didn't even exist or your years of service and dedication meant nothing.
Your friendship meant nothing.
Life can be cruel and I am reminded how broken we are as humans. I am constantly meditation on the fact that as a Christian I know that I am to be persecuted.
I imagine Christ felt abandoned from his friends and colleagues in the end... He already knew what Peter and Judas's true colors looked like. He knew and he washed their feet anyway.

This week, I am struggling with this. I want to rise above my hurt feelings and show up like Christ. Because the end of Christ was the beginning for us all and I want to be more. I want my true colors to shine through... even when it's the hardest.
