Very few people can live in isolation. We generally do better when we have people around to talk to, share stories with, and support us. I feel this is especially true when it comes to faith and religion. Here, I will attempt to share my thoughts and reflect on my spiritual journey -- I know this will further strengthen my faith, and I hope this will positively influence yours as well.  - CradleCatholic2.0

It's a Sign

by CradleCatholic2.0

I have been experiencing some work related struggles over the last several months. It is difficult to get out of bed and I do not look forward to going to work. I want to speak up, voice my concerns, and suggest ways to make things better, but I hesitate because I don’t want my managers to think I am a complainer, or that I stir the pot.

So I turned to God, and I prayed that He shows me how to proceed. Should I find another job? Maybe go back to school? Switch careers? Or should I stay where I am and ride it out? For a while, I didn’t have clarity and I felt so helpless.

Then unexpectedly, while watching an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, one line just leaped out at me: “The only wrong thing you can say is nothing at all.” Just like that, I feel like I got my answer, and decided I will speak up and advocate for myself. I don’t know how this will all play out, but I definitely feel less anxious – thank God!

Always be open to hearing God’s voice because you never know when or where we will encounter Him!
