miracle

Miracles do happen I guess. I quit my job last week. I put in two weeks notice. I made it through the first week without any of my coworkers finding out. I really did not know how to tell them and I was genuinely afraid of their responses. Some of these women are loose cannons. They complain about things you would never dream are a big deal. So anyway, today my boss sends out an email that mentions my resignation. My heart stopped and I started sweating. Within minutes, everyone would know and I would started getting dirty looks and maybe even death threats, I thought.
A minute later, I hear from over the cubical, "MEGAN BOWNE, what the heck." I start to cringe...here it comes, the you know what has hit the fan. I walk over and say, oh the email? She smiles and says, "hey where are you going?" I tell her and she is happy for me.....HAPPY. wow. Then I think ok, one of them is on my side and happy and understands. This is amazing and I am overjoyed. It is ok now if some of the others are less understanding because one of them is happy for me.
Then Vanessa keeps walking by my cubical. This is what I am dreading. SHe is not afraid to speak her mind and Im about to get it. Luckily I am busy with patients for a bit so she cant interrupt, but no joke she looked in my cubical 5 times.
Finally she catches me alone. She sits down.....and.....SMILES...."congratulations, where are you going? oh that is cool. I am glad for you....I will keep in touch with you..." Really...Me? I thought you couldnt stand me and would be mad at me for abandoning you all. Not only was she not mad at me or glad to see me go, she wants to keep in touch with me...
Ive heard it said that God is mysterious, and faith like a mustard seed can move mountains and such, but I am still in shock and awe.
Way to go Lord.

I am really, really thankful for a positive response. I know you would be strong enough to handle it if you didn't get a positive response but I realize what a relief it is to not have to worry about or think about anymore and being to breath easy. It was also great to get pray with you again (its been a few months) on Sunday. You are a blessing and so I thankful you are being blessed.
