Oct 9 Summer Recap: New Job & Leaving Waco

Hi friends,

This post is months late, but life has been crazy and I haven’t even had time to sit down and recap why I’ve been so busy.

The first part of this summer was truly a whirlwind. I went from graduating to going to Mexico to moving all without stopping to take a breath. Don’t get me wrong, I would do it all over again, but it has lead to a lot of emotions and life updates.

So, let’s recap.

May 8, 2021- I graduated college

May 10-15: Trip to Mexico

I will forever cherish my time in my Waco apartment. Bailey and I had so much fun just doing nothing. And by nothing, I mean watching a lot of movies and making charcuterie boards.

First day of my post grad job.

NEW JOB

There is so much pressure for your first job post grad. I always thought that second semester of my senior year, I would have it figured out, and that I would know my next steps. And then March rolled around and when a job that I thought I really wanted fell through, I was discouraged again. It was a looming feeling because I signed a lease before I had a job. So, I knew I was moving to Dallas, but, I didn’t know what I would be doing in Dallas or how I was going to pay my lease.

And then, I graduated, went to Mexico. Then, we came back and had to pack. And at that point, I still didn’t have a job. Once again, I felt like I was free falling, with no job and no direction. I was liking all the Linkedin Posts about people’s new jobs, but I didn’t know what I was doing.

In that time, a few days apart, I got these messages from my Sprinkle of Jesus app. Even though my parents and everyone around me was telling me these things, sometimes it just takes hearing it one more time for it to sink in. I am grateful of these reminders in season of change.

No one prepares you, but transitioning to post grad life is hard. It’s hard to welcome change and it is even harder in a season of waiting. However, change is a part of life, and you can always trust the Lord.
