I have always sought after things that cannot be taken away (knowledge, confidence, security) or ripped from my life in a moment. The lessons I have learned in working I will certainly carry with me for the rest of my life. Whatever the future may hold I can trust that God has a plan. There is a perfect plan involving a perfect criteria involving people, time and events which must first take place. More importantly, there is a specified time to every direction God leads.

When God's time is fulfilled everything seamlessly meshes, creating an overwhelming, endless desire and unquestionable clarity of direction. God has perfect vision. He puts people and circumstances in our lives that are perfect for us: Perfect Friends, Perfect Families, Perfect Careers, Perfect Loves, and even perfect enemies. All are perfect pieces fitting God's perfect puzzle whether or not we see the full picture. Sometimes the road to joy is quite rocky, and occasionally we all need help to build a bridge,
(or 2 or 3?)

I will always be grateful for all the many things I have learned as the direct result of working. There is nothing quite like the dignity of performing up to one's potential and feeling exhausted and accomplished at the end of the day. For me, the road to career has gotten a somewhat later start. I chose to marry, establish my family, (and ultimately divorce), prior to even seeking a qualifying degree. I have been blessed beyond measure in being given the gift of working with companies and individuals who were able to see the talent, potential and vision within me even before I was able to see it for myself. Here is my tribute to career—the begining steps of a long and prosperous road that defines a small part of who Iam and what I am striving to become .
