On account of my new job...

I am extremely excited! It's official today: I will be leaving my job as Regional Sales Manager at Color Press and will be embarking on my new career path in two weeks! I was just hired as an accountant at the conference (Southeastern California Conference) and am just thrilled! Yesterday I saw this quote and I really felt like it summed up what I was feeling at the time:


"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."
-Nora Roberts


Lately we've had alot to celebrate about. My husband (I'm so proud of him!) recently finished his degree and was promoted to Assistant Department Director on the spot. He's worked hard and it was gratifying to see him rewarded, not only for his degree but his contributions to the Evangelism Department as a whole.


Around the same time, we also found out of many applicants, I had made it on the short list for consideration in the Treasury department at the conference. Today it's official; I'm in! And I'm humbled and honored. Although I will be relinquishing my flexible, at-home work and schedule, I am looking forward to establishing my accounting career as I head towards fulfilling my dream of becoming a CPA. Those tests begin this summer, and I know they will be the hardest thing I've ever attempted, but for now I'm basking in the warmth of answered prayer and new opportunities. Thank you Jesus!
