“When God gives you a new beginning,
It starts with an
ending,
Be thankful for
closed doors,
They often guide us
to a right one.”
You know when you have a moment in life where a season ends and you move
on from there, but sometimes a season feels like it ended but there are still
things from that season that hunt you? Did that make sense?!
So, in 2022, I finished my bachelor's and did my final internship. I
was in a company where I really liked to be, everyone got along, there was
respect and I could really grow, not only as myself and learn a lot, but I
could grow in my career. But, a lot happened. Please check tashmness.com for my blog posts from the end of 2022 to know what happened!
I had to leave my internship. I left the internship leaving that season
open to a future opportunity. So, there was a season of waiting even though I
didn’t know I was in a season of waiting. It was as precepted a season of
transition and it truly was. I was getting out of one mindset and bringing a
new one in.
When the internship didn’t happen during the last quarter of 2022, I was
devastated, I didn’t know my direction and honestly, I couldn’t get a grip on
what God was telling me. After 2 months of looking for a job and trying to do
some online and freelancing work, I started working in a restaurant and it was
the most amazing 2-month experience! Truly, I had always wondered how it would
be and had always wanted to try a summer or occasional job (check on my life
goals list). Exactly on the 2-month mark working at the restaurant, my old boss
from my internship called me to ask me to come in for an interview and try to
imagine how amazed I was! A new light came into my eyes and my heart melted
from the love of God! I could literally see the door finally open and a new
beginning on the verge of happening, my journey of transition and waiting was
coming to an end. Don’t get me wrong I’m still in a season of waiting on some
other areas of my life, but this one was one I had been hurting for a long time,
it was something I had wished and prayed for so long and it was finally before
my eyes.
I went in for an interview and opened my heart out to my old boss and
his new business partner. I was ready and I wanted it, not that I wasn’t happy
in the restaurant, but I was just ready to, not just give my career a try, but
ready to fight to make it happen! And they saw my hunger and wish and a couple
weeks later, after a long month of managing and talking to my bosses, talking
and asking for help from my parents and thinking so much about what I was going to
do, my decision and wish had an encounter. Here it was my first day at my
professional internship.
My routine changed; my mindset changed. I wasn’t sad just because I had
to wake up early, but my body just started to make it happen. I wasn’t unhappy
with my routine, but happy to take the bus again and see the city again. No,
I’m not happy that I haven’t seen the sunset in the last few weeks, but I
started to look at the sky when I got off work differently.
My heart is full of content and joy whether the day is good or not at
work.
My heart is full of gratitude for the final opportunity that God gave me for the people He put alongside me and in my life and for all who helped me
through this long journey.
