Doing What Ya Gotta Do

Over the past few months i have been starting to feel like i am not the person for the job i have been doing……………..i get way too frustrated at the politics and the systems and feel like i just can’t compromise my framework any longer……….for example…………..working out of a risk management (fear based) framework…………instead of one grounded in love and life………………just one example of my frustrations……………so i decided that it was all over and i was pulling the plug……………..it was a big decision and i did this with a morgage and other financial commitments…….. having no job to go to…………..for about 6 weeks or so i had been looking and applying for jobs……i had set some criteria………..local area………….3 days a week…………..NGO…………this was a bit bold considering that there aren’t many places in my area that would have jobs fitting this description………..i chose to trust God even though i was a bit scared and unsure…………..then about 4 weeks ago…………..by a freak accident…………..a woman who runs a local NGO found out i was looking for a job…………..she rang me………….asked me to come in……….basically said i just want you to work here…………i don’t care how much…………… you tell me when you want to work and what you want to do and i will make it happen……………i had only met this women once before……………..obviously made a good impression……………..so i am now working 3 days a week…………..in a little NGO five minutes down the road from my house………………i am working as the community cultural development worker……………in an organisation known as cascade place which is under the cerebral palsy league in QLD………………cascade place is an arts based centre………..working with adults with cerebreal palsy within a social enterprise framework……………it is an amazing job and one that only God could have planned……………i know stuff doesn’t always work out as nice as it has for me this time…………..but this is just a story about how taking a risk and trusting God is definantly a good idea 🙂
