It is crazy to say I no longer have a job. Friday was my last day with Fource, whom I worked for the past two-ish years. This was my first “big girl” job out of college. What an experience it was.
Friday was like any other day, answering phone calls, managing projects, etc., but my mind and body were somewhere between excited and sad knowing it was my last day. I made rounds hugging those who impacted me and was shocked at how much I will be missed and how each coworker truly valued me.
My mind usually gets the best of me, I use to worry and think no one at work liked me, or I was continuously messing up or not doing well enough. That was proven 100% false Friday. Each hug and warm goodbye was threaded together with kind words of affirmation, admiration and love. My heart overflowed with thankfulness and joy. I just wanted to hug everyone over and over again and tell everyone how much they meant to me.
My last goodbye was truly a God-sent blessing. Our lead designer, Tiff, made me a beautiful business card size bible verse (Ephesians 6: 10-18). This was scripture God placed on her heart for me. My eyes filled with tears of thankfulness and I tried to hold them back as she proceeded to read the verse to me and pray over me. I can’t express the love I felt in that moment and am forever grateful.
I was taken aback that my coworker felt safe enough to pray out loud over me. This showed me, though I wasn’t perfect, I was a light for God at my job and I was more open about my faith than I thought. I was so thankful for the revelation from God.
Work was never easy and often stressful, as many of you know. I can promise you however, if you lean into God and try to serve him through your job, you will see him show up.
“Well done my good and faithful servant.” -God
