God's Will: This is the Way

 Its been a while since I posted anything. Life has been pretty crazy. I could give a quick recap.

So in February 2021, I moved with my family from northeast Ohio, to north-central Maryland. From semi-rural Amish country to the middle of uptown city life.

I spent most of 2021 working for a small excavating company, but by fall, it was clear the situation wasn't sustainable, and God led me to a job working for a dealership that sells chemicals and equipment to dairy farmers.

It was very lowly and humble work, pressure-washing used chemical barrels all day, every day. Then they moved me around to help fill in some other positions. I was a jack of all trades, and working long hours every day.

This is one reason I've written next to nothing.

In May 2022, I temporarily took over for one of the service technicians at this dealership, who wanted to quit. I was assured it was a temporary position. That was two months ago.

In June 2022, my former boss from Ohio contacted me, and wanted to make me an irrefutable offer to come back and work for him again.

And that brings me to now.

Tomorrow, I will be making the final decision whether I'm cutting ties with my current employer or not.

But you know what I've learned in the last year and a half?

There's not much use in doing anything outside of God's will. It never goes well.

I didn't like washing chemical barrels. But I felt God wanted me to be there. So I went there. I still don't know why I was supposed to be there. Perhaps a testing? But regardless, I was where God wanted me.

Now faced with a decision, it would be easy to let my judgement be clouded by money, or by benefits, or by ego, or by any number of things. But after experiencing all the things I've experienced this year, I can make my choice on one thing and one thing only.

God's will.

Where does God want me at any given time?

That is the question I seek to answer.

And so far, he has blessed my pursuit of his desires. In the last two months alone, a whole lot of big things have happened, each one demonstrating God's faithfulness. I can't wait to see where this road leads.

I'm a bit scared, yes. And somebody somewhere is gonna be hurt when they find out my loyalty can't be bought. That's just how it is. I know I'm a hard worker, and its not my fault I can't clone myself.

But I'm ready to face whatever is in store for me, cuz I know God has my back as long as I walk his path.
