A change of perspective...

For the past couple of months I have been training in Alexandria for work. I had come to love the people there and the commute was great. Then at the beginning of March I was moved to my permanent location at the company headquarters in DC; I was NOT excited! The commute was 3 times longer and more expensive, I would be working with the executives which would be more stressful and I didn't want to leave the great people I had been working with. To sum it up, I had a really bad attitude about it. I finally came to the conclusion that I must need to be in the DC location for some reason unknown to me and so I slowly came to terms with the fact that I was going to work there.

After finishing my second week at headquarters, I am humbled and grateful that Heavenly Father knew what was best for me even when I was SURE that I knew what was better.

I have the opportunity to work 1 block from the White House; I can see it out the window each day. One of my clients is the Princess of Spain!! I am sharing the gospel with my interested co-workers. I am able to watch a blind women make the same commute that I do, always with a smile on her face. The list goes on and on.

I work in the heart of the nation's capital and see miracles around me everyday and amazing people that have overcome life's challenges.

Yes, I am commuting longer and paying more, but I have learned that the Lord compensates you 10 fold for that which you lose. I am grateful for this "unanswered prayer" that has made me more grateful for what I DO have.
