So, I jacked my job in 18 months ago, moved to London St Paul ’s, I can go to a West End show mid week if I want or walk though Hyde park if I fancy a stroll. I start work at 10am 3 days the week and I live in a beautiful flat with 2 great gals. I have loads of friends, lots of fun and am definitely living the dream. I sometimes look at my life and think wow! I get to experience ALL this; things people only dream of, and I get to actually do it. I love my life here I do, but there is a flip side…
I left a comfortable salary and secure job, I don’t know one week to the next if I’ll have enough supply teaching to keep the ‘pocket money’ coming in or if the charity I work for will have enough money to pay me that month. We work on a month to month basis here and prayer seems to increase around pay day as we push through in faith that God will provide the finances and He does. I used to look at my life and know what I would be doing every day until I was 65 and time to retire, that brought with it some kind of shelter and security, I now have no idea where I will be next year, will I have a job, will the fitness thing work if it does will it pay me enough? While all of this is exciting it’s so scary too! My parents aren’t around the corner to fall back on, no husband to pay the bills if I don’t quite make it this month, nobody paying the mortgage if the tenant doesn’t may up. Infact, if you look at all this you’d think “jack it in and go back to teaching!” But I won’t!
I was saved for a price. I was put on the earth to educate people about fitness and health, and I ain’t leaving till it’s done!
Life is tough no matter where you are, what you are doing and who you are with, so embrace it, and learn to be content regardless of the circumstance.
