For the last few weeks, I have been training at my new career! I was recently hired at an animal emergency clinic. Although I have no experience with animals (in fact I don't have much appreciation for them either) my reception experience coupled with my maturity (finally my age is a plus!!!) gained me a position at the reception desk. It also helps that my sister has worked there for a while. She is a trained and experienced Veterinary Office Assistant.
Through all this training, I am learning so much. The job is not just reception, but a VOA in training. How blessed I am to have this opportunity. Just a while ago, at my current job as a waitress, I mentioned to a coworker that if I were 39 years old and 364 days and still waitressing, I would have to walk off the job as I refuse to be serving in a restaurant at 40. That is still a few years away, but close enough to warrant the thoughts towards a career change.
As excited as I am, I feel totally exhausted. Doing both jobs, and pullin' up the bootstraps on homeschooling is taking a lot out of me. I'm also trying to get my priorities in order, by spending more intentional time (not just emergency) in Gods's word and resting in His presence. Add to that the desire to see a more healthier me by adding a little exercise and nutrition into my day and I find myself busy. Kind of like the Veggie Tales song...
So for now: I'm busy, busy, horribly busy, but not too much busy for YOU!
I hear ya on the feeling busy thing, but I guess it's good to busy doing the things God has called us to and not just randomly busy.
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up, your priorities, straight, your nose in the Word, and all that "busyness" will start paying off with huge blessings!!
Way to go Renee! It must be something about being in your thirties and needing re-evaluate life!! It sounds like you're definitely walking the right path for you:) congratulations on the new job.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that in your busyness, you still have time to sit and share a coffee with me.
