HOW I WAS LED TO EXUBERANT LIFE

Trudy C. Palmer

Several years ago I needed to choose between two offers of employment. One included significant potential for professional development; the other allowed me to do community service but wasn't as conducive to advancement in the profession. After praying, I felt that I should accept the offer involving community service.

Then, after notifying both employers of my decision, I began to learn more about the position I had accepted. The more I learned, the more I knew that I had made the wrong decision. My heart sank. Yet I couldn't see any way to rectify the problem, so I told myself that I would simply have to make the best of a bad situation. And I started trying to imagine how I could make this arrangement work.
