So amazing

You know, as I walk through this journey called life I am still utterly amazed by the learning and growth potentials that abound.

For some reason, I thought once I got older, I'd have all the answers, and life would just continue as normal.

Well...I'm a little older now with more experience under my bealt, and believe it or not, I'm still on a learning journey.

I woke up this morning with such an anxiousness. Nothing really inspiring happened as of late...so of course, I'm wondering where this feeling of wonder stems from. I don't know what life has in store, but I can feel it changing.

I think I mentioned in a previous blog about the winds of change blowing. Well, Monday I got some news that shows I was right on point. I was preparing for a business trip, and my VP tells me he needs to speak with me. I was engaged with someone, so told him I'd get with him when I was finished. 10 minutes pass, and he's back at my desk looking antsy...so I conclude my convo, and follow him into the conference room.

Now, at this point, I'm like...something's up. He looked at me and said..."later today, an announcement is going out. The company is being acquired by a competitor."

Ok, so...at this point, my jaw drops and he laughs. He's like...close your mouth....I was in absolute schock because this came TOTALLY out of left field. He didn't find out until a week prior...so the higher ups have definitely played this one close to their chest.

Well...the next bit of the conversation was about what next. Then of course, reality sets in and I'm thinking...what about my position? Of course he didn't have any real answers. But deep down, I had a feeling of calm. I knew at that moment that everything would be fine.

So fastforward to today. I still feel calm and peace about the situation. I've spoken with colleagues here in Europe and back inthe US, and everyone is concerned. And rightly so! These situations are never easy to deal with, and you really can't make assumptions.

But, like he always does...I see God working it out. He's already put people in my path to network with...and they just happen to be from the acquiring company. They all are in the upper echelon of the organization I'll be working for. I even have a lunch meeting scheduled with one in a couple weeks!! How cool is that?!!

God is truly amazing. He is working on our behalf in the background even when we don't feel like he's there. I see him orchestrating a path and a destiny that supercedes anything man would try to put in my path.

I don't know what the future holds. I have no idea how things will pan out. But I know that God is quietly whispering to my spritit that he has it under control and my life is in his hands.

I can feel the change happening. I'm like a marthon runner on the final stretch. Tired, a little achy, my muscles hurt...but I can see the finish line, so I break into a sprint and press on.

I was reading something earlier. The person being interviewed said that life was like the bridge of a song.

There's high notes , low notes, key changes and the like. But ultimately, the bridge brings it together and makes the song beautiful.

Life really is... so amazing.
