Hello GEA Fam!
On October 10, 2024, I was laid off from my day job. While it may sound surprising, God had already been preparing me for this moment. For the past few months, I had been getting organized and trying to tie up loose ends, not because I knew I was going to be let go, but because I sensed that my time there was coming to an end. God had been nudging me for a couple of years to focus on God's Essence, but I kept trying to figure out how to replace my six-figure salary. Yet God was whispering, I have so much more for you. Trust Me.
Fast forward to that October day—I wasn’t angry, just a bit disappointed by how it was done. But more than anything, I felt relief. I realized that God had to step in because, honestly, I probably would have stayed. The long days, some stretching up to 18 hours, had consumed me. I’d put everything and everyone on the back burner to keep up with the demands of the job. I loved what I did and found joy in helping my team grow, but in the process, I neglected building the God’s Essence team. I didn’t carve out the time to truly lock in on the vision He had for me. So, God gave me the push I needed to step fully into what He’s been calling me to do.
There’s so much more I could and will share later, but for now, I’ll leave you with three key lessons from this transition:
Trust the process. No matter where you are in life, trust that God is in control. As a believer in Jesus Christ, I know that God has never failed me yet, and I trust He never will.
Love people, no matter who they are. Whether it’s up close or from a distance, love covers a multitude of sins. In other words, keep a heart of forgiveness and kindness.
Protect your peace. Set and maintain healthy boundaries to guard your peace and well-being.
I’ll be posting consistently now (smile), and I’d love to hear your thoughts.
