I owe much of what's happening to "Rocking Chair Reflections" Linds. When I went on and on recently about how to change my work situation, Linds said this: "God has plans. But like Moses, we need to step into the water before He parts it".

I struggled with the discomfort of making big changes; leaving some things, while reaching for others, and decided Linds is right.

I don't know how good a swimmer Moses may have been. I barely qualified as a dog paddler. I embarrassed my whole family once by chickening out on the town's high school high dive, and crawled back down the pool ladder. But I'm here to tell you I am ready to try again. A few days ago I spent hours filling out job aplications, and took two of them to local nursing places. Today one of them called, wanting me to come talk with them. I think there's a chance I may get the job. So thank you for your caring and your prayers.

Considering my hesitating to "take the plunge", I wonder why some of us sometime put up with the familiar, when we know how bad it is, instead of dealing with having to make changes. I think important things are sometimes mislabeled. What can possibly be comfortable about that mysterious comfort zone, that leaves you hanging; kind of like when I was on the high dive.
