Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes

Almost exactly seven years ago, I went through a ton of life change all at once.

End of May 2004- graduated college, bought my first car
Early June 2004 – moved to Nashville, started my first job, got my first apartment (I lived in a dorm all through college because I was an RA)
Summer 2004 – finished planning our wedding
October 2004 – got married

Needless to say it was a season of big change.

And now, it seems, that God is about to do the same thing again.

Last week Thursday, I gave notice at my job. Yes, the place I started at in June 2004. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I love the people I work with and have learned so much in my seven years there.

I wasn’t expecting to start a new job seven months pregnant.

I wasn’t even looking.

But, this opportunity sort of fell out of the sky, and I am so, so grateful.

April 12 will be my first day working as the Heart Marketing Manager for Vanderbilt Medical Center. I am terribly excited. Vanderbilt is an amazing organization to work for and the benefits are fantastic. Though the job is full-time, I will have a lot more flexibility, which will be great with two kids! Moreover, the people seem really wonderful, and I know I am going to flourish in this new position.

Other changes coming down the pike:

Major blog redesign and move to WordPress for The Mom Creative (launching this weekend- feel free to change your blog links to www.themomcreative.com. The URL works already, but you will still see this site until the switch is made)
Putting our condo on the marketing and hopefully moving this summer
Going from a family of three to a family of four

If you could pray for us during this season, we would so appreciate it.

There is A LOT going on right now and it would be easy to get overwhelmed. (And admittedly, some days, I am very overwhelmed.)

But, I am trying to remember the words of Ecc 3:1:
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens

And so I take comfort knowing that this is a busy season, but that it is just that – A SEASON – and seasons change.

What have you done during seasons of great change? What has God taught you?

PS – If you know a PR guru+social media strategist, share this job opp with them.
