I’m so glad that Friday is finally here. It’s been a long week. Every day it’s like stepping onto the set of a real life soap opera when I come to work. There is so much drama going on here and if it wasn’t for the fact that I just got a good raise and will probably be quitting sometime in the next 8 months anyway I would probably be looking elsewhere for work.
As far as the job situation goes I’m very nervous to tell my supervisor (who also happens to be a friend) that we’re planning on moving. I’m planning on having a meeting with her on Monday to let her know as she’s been out all week with sick kids. The company just awarded raises and most people people got just a 2% raise and I got a whole 9% (and no, it wasn't may supervisor that's a friend that gave me that generous amount, it was the VP of the company that made that decision) so I feel really blessed. Because of that I feel really bad that I’m essentially saying “thanks for your generosity, it’s especially nice since I won’t be around much longer.” Of course that’s not my heart and how I truly feel, but I’m worried that it will come across that way
We haven’t really told many of our STL friends that we’re leaving yet. In fact, it’s pretty hush-hush news as we haven’t even announced it to our church yet. There’s supposed to be a big announcement during this Sunday’s service, so just a few more days and the cat will be out of the bag. Because we’ve been trying to be sensitive to everyone’s feeling our senior pastor thought we should wait a few weeks to tell the congregation that we would we be moving since everyone’s barely getting over the bombshell that their associate pastors will be moving. Because we’re so relationally tied with Chris & Christina I don’t really think everyone’s going to be completely shocked that we’re going with them (just look at my record with them, I’ve already relocated across the country once with them), but I think there will still be a lot people surprised nonetheless. Luckily for me there’s not really too many St. Louis friends that read my blog, so it’s not like I’m giving a spoiler alert or anything.
Anyway….all that to say I’m ready for the weekend, and even kind of ready for the weekend to be over. Really I’m just ready for this season of complete chaos to be over. I will be so relieved once we finally have our house ready to put on the market. That’s been my main source of stress lately; in a way it’s kind of a blessing in disguise because it keeps my mind off of all this drama that’s going on at work.
At this point all I can really do is just take one day at a time and rely on God’s grace to carry me. As stressed as I am I can only think back to some of the crazier stuff that I’ve walked through in life and remember that God has always taken care of me in the past. That’s what gives me hope for the present and my future as well.
