Chase.Your.Passion
I put in my two weeks notice last Friday.
You see, news is not what I am passionate about. I’m passionate about people, technology, and ministry, and how those can all be used together.
A little over a year ago, I was a recent college grad who had no idea where to start on the job search. But a couple weeks after graduation, I received an e-mail about a position I had interviewed for months earlier.
The position was still open, and I was offered the job. It was an answer to prayer and provision from God. I walked into a job with people I already knew from my internships doing something I had a comfortable grasp on.
It was a great job with incredible people. And I honestly had no plans to leave anytime soon.
But here I am over a year after starting, and I’m saying goodbye.
Why? Because I’m chasing my passion.
My church approached me with a job offer to assume the role of Assistant Media Director. I didn’t even know they were looking until they sat down with me.
And after a lot of prayer and examination, I know it is what I’m supposed to do. It combines all of my passions, and frees me up to be involved in areas that I have been missing.
I’m looking forward to spending more time with the students at my church, and meeting with my small group for Bible study.
But a big part of me is going to miss ABC Action News. I was an intern there for two semesters and a full-time employee for over a year.
My prayer has always been that my life would make an impact on everyone I encountered there, and I hope that prayer was answered.
To my ABC Action News coworkers: It was an honor and a privilege working with you and I will not soon forget what I learned from each of you.
To my future coworkers: I am excited about this next chapter that God is leading me on, and I look forward to walking it with you.
Thanks for reading, and remember, don’t be afraid to do what you are passionate about.
