Ok, so we're 2 weeks into the new year. It's supposed to be a year of new beginnings, new starts, and new experiences, right? Well, I have a feeling some of that might be coming my way this year. I *did* land my first book contract just before Christmas last year. However, that excitement was recently dampened by news at work that really laid a heavy blow on me.
I've been there for 10 years, and circumstances resulted in me not getting the promotion I'd spent a long time working to earn. I even trained the woman who ended up getting the position. She wouldn't have been able to do what she did if it hadn't been for me. What's worse is her attitude about all of it. She makes no attempt at all to hide the fact that she's only where she is because she can't stand working for someone younger than her. She has a "bossy" mentality and "control" issue. Everyone knows it. She'll be the first to play nice to your face then turn on you when it's convenient for her at a moment's notice. The spirit is present when she's there at work. It's just not a pretty picture.
So, anyway, I've said all that to say this. Dealing with something like that is difficult enough. Dealing with it alone is even harder. Yes, I have God to offer me support and encouragement, and I know the situation would be far worse without Him. But having you would make it 10x better and easier because I could just lean on you for comfort and support. I wouldn't even really need to say much of anything. You just being there would be enough. Knowing I could share the burden would make the road less harder to travel.
Wherever you are, I pray your path is blessed despite the uphill battles. Be thinking of me and know I'm thinking of you. God has a divine purpose for both of us and when the time is right, He'll bring us together. Our relationship will be more amazing than either of us could ever imagine and our union will be blessed beyond measure. I can't wait for that day!
