As I put in my notice for my job, I knew there was going to be challenges...
Hard goodbyes and missed opportunities.
Fears and doubts.
Bitterness and resentment.
But what I found out through this process was how unimportant I was on some levels, as I was told they wouldn't be filling my job.
As my job tasks started getting distributed amongst the remaining team, I was struck with the impression that my job was relevant and unimportant. I certainly know may not be true but it was a humble reminder.
Jesus doesn't want us to make idols and he certainly doesn't want us to be prideful in the things we do or the things we have.
For me... a good career, a good title, a nice paycheck are idols.
For me... Getting praise and glory from others are idols.
When people brush me off so easily, I wonder if I was ever important and why people didn't see my beautiful idols. Ha.
This process is reminding me... In many ways .. it's not about me. Throughout my life journey God has to keep reminding me that I shouldn't care so much of the things of this world and I really need to fix my eyes on things above.
God is slowly making me into a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit. I certainly can't let anything stand in the way of that.
So during this transition, as God reminds me to throw away the idols... I choose to not care so much about being distributed and unimportant.
