Another time that I found myself in a very hard waiting season was when I was in my last job. During this time I endured hurtful and spiteful comments about my character that were untrue and completely subjective. It went on for months, and I had to pray that God would give me the strength just to walk in the door each day. It was during this time that I thought of the idea for this book, because I wanted to share with others what I had been learning.
I learned that God is enough. No matter what my coworkers said about me, or how my managers decided to handle the situation, I knew that I was a child of the King. The words He spoke over me were true, that I was loved, redeemed, cherished and precious. The rest of the words that I heard throughout the day lost their power in light of my identity in Christ.
I learned that His ways are best. I prayed that He would take me out of the situation and I thought of a hundred ways that He could do it. In the end, it was a completely different scenario than I had ever envisioned, but it was better than I could have dreamed.
I learned that anything that brings me closer to Jesus is the best thing for me. I wouldn't go back and change it because it caused me to trust in Him completely and to make Him Lord of my life over and over, day after day. I had to keep giving it all to Him and trusting Him for His best.
