Six months ago, I stated a journey of having a fresh start. I found a company in Atlanta that I really wanted to work for and began pursuing employment there. Several interviews and several trips down to Atlanta occurred over the six month period. My grandfather would always send me a "PPP" text or email which meant, "Patience, Persistence & Prayer." Boy, was I ever patient -- Not just for a job here, but a complete life change altogether.
As you read this post this morning, I am probably battling Atlanta traffic on my way to my new job! My first day is today, and I am beyond excited that I landed another dream job in my field of work -- marketing/communications.
It is so important to me to thrive professionally, and I am so thankful for the opportunities I have been given this year at the age that I am.
God is good and has showed such grace and mercy in my life this year. I feel so undeserving at times, yet His grace is so sufficient.
Do I find the timing of all this a little funny? Sure. It just goes to show us that God is never early or late -- He is right on time. We must trust in that fact, even when we can't see the rainbow through the clouds.

Things truly do happen for a reason!
