A career opportunity presented itself and my husband accepted a position in Chicago. While I never imagined leaving Maryland for the Windy City, I embraced the idea. I looked forward to the new beginning and anticipated having the opportunity to pursue some of my own personal goals. Moreover, I knew that God was in control and had great things in store for us. I could not turn my resignation letter in fast enough!
However, after the last box was unpacked and the dust settled, I found myself depressed. All of my support systems were gone. I was in a new city. I no longer had my family and friends. I no longer had my job. Plus, the weather was terrible – I could not wrap my mind around how cold it was – even the sunshine was gone.
Lord Jesus, I gave up my job! I lost my sense of self. Who am I supposed to be now?
