The hiatus is over now that I’ve found my groove as a working adult. It’s been a crazy transition figuring out all things adult (and wedding planning). As I’m finding out, the growing up never ends but increases dramatically. We go from care-free college students to full-blown adults in a day. I was not one of the lucky ones who had a job lined up and waiting for me when I graduated. I also wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my degree. 

After the excitement of graduating the fear of interviews set in. I knew I needed a job but every description I read I felt unfit for. I was so in my own head.

I applied for a few advertising jobs at ad agencies and made it to the second round interviews with each. I got so nervous for these interviews that I subconsciously sabotaged them.  When I got home from the last one I know I had tanked them and all the worry of getting a job and benefits hit me real hard. I just sat in my room and cried until I felt better. Crying is great! I felt one million times better and my head was clear. I felt a tug inside saying it will be alright, you’re enough, I have a plan for you. There was my answer. Stop trying and start feeling. I immediately said a prayer to be open to God’s will for me.

The next day I told my mom that I just have to let go and let God lead and  oh man, did He deliver! I was visiting with my mother-in-law, Jacque, and she told me that there was a position open at Touchmark at All Saints, a retirement community that her mother lives in. She thought I would be a good fit there. So I looked up the job and there it was, Life Enrichment for Memory Care, a job that felt so right. I applied, went through a few rounds of interviews and got the job.

I LOVE my job from co-workers to residents it’s the perfect position for this season of my life. I let God lead me and I found my place. Following the path God has is one you would have never envisioned for yourself yet feels completely right. Because I work at Touchmark it has allowed me to create H Media, LLC which is a social media managing company (more on that in the next post). The growing never ends! To those reading this who are entering the working world I’ll leave you with this: Don’t let the worry get you down, trust your gut and you can do anything you put your mind to!
