On June 23rd, I posted an entry entitled "With Age Comes Wisdom?" I had just turned 30 and was looking back at my goals and where I found myself at that time. I had mentioned that I had, what I considered to be, a successful career. Today I find myself looking at my career in amazement.
I accepted a promotion to the position that I have been working for since I started in Human Resources. My co-workers and friends tell me that I have worked hard for this and deserve it. I believe them... to a certain extent.
Who am I? How do I get to be so lucky? Why would someone give me such a wonderful opportunity? The answers: no one special... not lucky, but blessed... because God wills it so.
Everything that I have... which is quite a lot... God has seen to be appropriate for me at that time. What an awesome thing to be SO blessed.
In the same breath, I must be reminded that God's Will is not only what he chooses to give me, but what he chooses to take, suspend and change. It's easy to be thankful when things are well and I get what I want. It's much more difficult to be thankful when something, or someone, is taken away or I do not get what I want.
With age comes wisdom? I don't know the answer to that. What I do know is that I am learning from this most recent blessing is that I must be thankful for the good and the bad. I am happy that I am learning that when things are easy. Hopefully remembering that when I am unhappy will come with age.
