Well, I ended up giving my notice on Wednesday. Gave about 4 weeks or more notice, and it's flexible depending on what happens in the future. So the date left for me to leave is January 20th, set firmly in jello.
Anyway, I was talking to a friend of mine, someone who was kinda looking at it as a failure. And I was thinking while we were talking - some of my biggest failures have been my largest successes and some of my largest successes have been my biggest failures. Personally I think of it as a great opportunity, I get to move back to Chicago. Anway, to get to the profound thoughts:
I was thinking of a man who never traveled far in his life. He never won any big games, he never won any major wars, he (according to most) never married, he had a trial that he lost, had an appeal and lost that. In short, according to most of his contemporaries, he was a failure. Yet if it wasn't for his "failure", Christianity never would have been. Meaning, it's not my job to judge what is a failure or success in my life. I lost a job, I wasn't crucified.
I would like some prayers for my dad because he is going nuts about it (we need to sell the house real quick) but for me it feels like a good thing. (Of course it would have been different if I had been asked to leave the premises the same day).
