I discovered last night that my new mortgage had funded. That signaled the last obstacle being removed which held me firmly to my current job and company. At the tail end of my workday I questioned Matt about the 30 day resignation offer he made are beginning of April. I was hoping that offering me a 30 day resignation period to update my resume and put me in contact with recruiters would mean 30 paid days with minimal expectations at work.
When I asked Matt for details on that offer he described 30 days of normal work but with extra involvement from HR and the promise that we could keep the resignation unannounced until the last 2 weeks so that it would appear as an amicable separation with minimal embarrassment. I immediately knew that I had no reason to take that option. Each day I work there is a lost precious day to work on the emotional health of myself and my family. I will be putting in a traditional two week notice soon and might even choose to burn my vacation time so that I don’t actually have to work most of those days. I haven’t decided about burning the PTO but my last possible day would be May 22nd.
I count on the following promises I read in Mormon 9 tonight – verses 21 and 27:
Whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.
…hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things soever ye shall stand in need. Doubt not, but be believing, and begin as in times of old, and come unto the Lord with all your heart.
I will be exercising my faith in Christ as I pray that He will provide satisfying and sufficient employment for me while I attend to the emotional and spiritual needs of my family
