Funny post...yet long overdue. It has been almost 5 years since I've had a regular job. Yes, I am now working as a freelance writer. I am grateful for that employment but I've been floundering nevertheless. I've drained almost all my assets just to stay alive.
It has felt like a voyage with no end in sight. When I left my last regular employment in January 2012, I was expecting to get another position quickly. I didn't realize when I relinquished my ability to go back to that job what I was getting myself into for leaving as I did. All I understood then was that God was pushing me in another direction.
I have had my eyes open to many things I probably wished I didn't know about or seen. I have had my heart opened to the needs of the people around me. I have realized that there is more to life than work. I still recall the tear stained face of the woman I passed while walking in Baltimore Harbor. She had nothing.
I know now that I am rich in what matters. I can see daylight breaking through around me. I can imagine the sails blowing forward in the wind as they propel me towards the goal of full time employment. I have a good hope that I will have that full time employment. I will treasure it.
