The past few weeks have been absolutely insane. So much has been happening and I am beyond excited to announce… ( drum roll please ) that I am moving back to DALLAS next week! Crazy I know! God is so good!
Let me tell you a little bit about what led up to this amazing moment. In May of 2015 I graduated from Dallas Baptist University. After graduation I had the honor to travel quite a bit, so I made the decision to move back home to San Antonio to spend some time with my parents. After my travels I began the job searching process, which is so fun right?!? 😉 Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned in months. I was exhausted, and so frustrated. Everything in me wanted to stay positive but there were some days that were harder than others. I decided to keep trying, and attempt to not get discouraged by the unanswered emails, the rejected resumes, and so on. I had to learn that it DID NOT define me.
During the holidays I made it my goal to find a job before my birthday, January 25th. So everyday I was on the computer, contacting everyone I knew, filling out all the applications I could, and asking God to please lead me to the right place. The week before Christmas one of my old bosses from Dallas Baptist University contacted me asking me if I would ever be interested in going back to DBU and working there. Now this is something that I really had never thought about. I loved the University, but I thought that after graduation day my time at DBU had ended. For some reason I had instant peace about it though, and replied yes to him. During this time I also had a few other offers coming in from the Dallas area. After a while it became quite clear that God was wanting me to move back to Dallas. This past Wednesday my mom and I drove up to Dallas early that morning so that I could have my first round of interviews with DBU. That afternoon before I walked in, I sat in my car praying that God would make it instantly clear if I was supposed to be there or not. Walking in seeing smiling, familiar faces made my heart burst. As I sat there in my first interview I had complete peace. Before I knew it, I was offered the job, accepted the job, and was meeting all of my amazing co-workers. It did not feel real. I kept feeling like I needed to pinch myself to make sure it was not a dream, but it wasn’t and I am so glad! I left that office feeling like I was on cloud nine. Later that night God provided a place to live, that was in the area I wanted to live in, under my budget, and with 3 amazing roommates.
It so funny how God works. He knows exactly what you need and when you need it. Even though it may be something you never thought about doing. So next weekend I will be packing up my things and moving back to Dallas, because on January 25th I start my amazing job as External Recruiter at DBU Hurst/Colleyville. God is so good, y’all!
I just wanted to share this journey with you because I think it’s important to be real, and be you. That’s what friends do, right? 🙂 So if you are in the Dallas area I would love to talk to you! I can’t wait to build an amazing community up there and see where God takes it all. Because, at the end of the day, it’s all about Him!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
