6 Months Already

I cannot believe that I have been working at the Westin for six months this September. Time has passed by rapidly and I still feel as if I just began. There have been many changes in this last month, which are beneficial to me. I've been given the coveted hours of working Monday through Friday, 7am to 3:30pm. It beats rush hour, I get to see friends and family more often and weekends off are hardly something to complain about. There are at least four new faces to the front office staff, replacing some older employees who have received promotions, and the front office management is always looking for new employees. The sales department has experienced an almost complete turnover and I now feel like a seasoned veteran.

But along with new staff members, new hours, the same wool/polyseter blend, green suit as my uniform and the six month mark having approached, I still wonder what is next. Having chosen not to work in the field of social work for now has been life changing in a sometimes not so welcomed way. I feel as if I don't have the answers, and the questions what should I pursue next leave me feeling confused. I have many interests, and many things bring me joy; having invested nearly all who I was in college into the field of social work and now not making this my vocation leaves me no place to turn but God. I continue to invest in my job because that is where I am now, and I continue to invest in myself, learning more about who I am and my other strengths beside social work. It has been a joy and it has been hard.

Let's not be discouraged when we are unsure of what is next. Let us continue to do with all our might our work as if unto the Lord.
