Today is my last day working for my employer in TX and possibly the last time I work in the mortgage industry after a 10 year run. I continue to be amazed at God's provision and timing of which I definitely could not have planned. We left Dallas at the end of April for Chicago and I was graciously allowed to work remote during our transition which was a huge help in many ways. After several weeks of no hits on the resume fishing line I had multiple interviews but one stood out above all the others. After taking a technical test, talking to the talent team then hiring manager and enduring a 3 hour interview, I eventually received an offer. God's provision was spot on. I was able to stay with my current employer for exactly one year (362 days), received an offer at or above my current pay range, the new office is within a 5 minute walk (which is nice since we don't have cars), and the new company has some sweet perks. I had caught a big one!
Although I really have not expressed it externally, I have been extremely grateful and thankful internally. God has provided in ways that I could not have asked or imagined. After my brother (Daniel) released his E.P. a couple of months ago a chorus was stuck in my head from a song called "Far More."
Would you do far more than we could ask or imagine
Would you do far more than we could ever hope or dream
Let your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven
For the glory of your holy name
As I reflect today, I am humbly reminded that I could not have written this story on my own. It is part of God's story embedded into the novel of my life and this is simply the end of one chapter and the beginning of a bright new one that will begin to unfold soon for the glory of his holy name.
