NWR: Cold feet

LeahVB2011

I told you all back in January that work was not going well and that I really wanted to quit. Friday, after a lot of thought and prayer, I finally have a peace about leaving. I plan to put in my two weeks notice on Monday. Even though I know I'm doing the right thing, I am soooo scared about what's going to happen. I mean it's fast food. The turn over rate is ricudlously high and so leaving should be no big deal. For the past 5months I have not given myself the option to quit and now that I not only have the option but I'm taking is leaving me with a lot of doubt. I know I'm doing the right thing I know leaving will be best for me in the end and I know I am following God but it's not always easy. Thanks for listening to me vent

I am happy for you! I remember when you were stressing about this in January. I will keep you in my prayers all Monday knowing you're giving notice - let us know how it goes! Following God can be a scary thing sometimes, just think about how much scarier it is not to follow God he's watching out for you always.

I've been in your shoes before, Rachel.  It's difficult to take that step to leave the job, especially if you aren't sure where you are going to land ... I've been in that position twice now.  I have told myself I'm going to stick with this job I just started on 3/7 until the end of the school year, and after that, I'm doing some serious looking.  I'm not happy, even though the pay is better and it's full-time with benefits.  I will keep it as long as I need to, but I also have to make a change.  I think this issue with my job is what kept me sick this entire week (and had to take sick days).  Granted, it was "walking pneumonia" which is no small matter, but I think sometimes we can bring illnesses on ourselves just by letting mental / emotional battles land in the physical.  

I'll keep you in my prayers as you forge ahead to the next step.  My feet are just as cold as yours and right now mine are frozen until the end of the school year... but as soon as this contract is up, I'm getting out the hair-dryer and getting my feet the heck outta dodge!

Thanks I'm excited but nervous too. It's funny and ironic to me that my last day will be April 4. Exactly two months until I get married! haha but I  am a lot more calm about it but stil nervous
