For the past three years I have been haunted by a strange dark shadow. Everywhere I would go this shadow would follow. It dictated every part of my life. I scheduled my entire life around this shadow. Freedom was unheard of and chains were in abundance. To break loose required much more than strength...it required faith.
Hmmm...I'm sure you can concur to these feelings of frustration. The right to live your own life swallowed up by an evil monster. The boogey man could not compare to this evil little creature. It's name I dare mention. For uttering it from my lips may cause me to scream. Surely, you know who I am referring. Yes, you've got it! The 9-5!
Our jobs demand so much more than the 8 hour shifts we put in from day to day. And to be honest, I just couldn't take it anymore. No, I'm not saying I'm too good for a 9-5. What I'm saying is a 9-5 is not good enough for me!
So here's the story. After months of harassment and embarrassment I took a leap of faith and leap out the door. I was gone with the wind! I told my co-worker "I hate doing this to you- wait no I don't..." and with that I grabbed my purse and was in my car in no time.
Some may say that the decision I made today was not wise or smart, but I beg to differ. I have every right to live out the calling of God on my life and when I know that what I'm doing is not in accordance with that calling, I by any means necessary, may alter whatever it is that I am doing. So yes, I made some alterations today. Call me a seamstress!
Now I am free! Free to chase the dreams God has placed within me! Today, my adventure begins!
