Today marks two months since I started my new job at the North Side YMCA.
Within those two months, I helped deliver beds through the Sleep to Succeed Program at several apartment complexes in OKC
spent an afternoon at the Oklahoma State Fair with my coworkers as a team building project
spent a whole day participating in Y-Lympics, which is a wild day of directors competing for a spirit stick + bragging rights for a full year (talk about showcasing everyone’s “good sides”)
spent a weekend in Fort Worth at a conference, + lastly promoted for the short term as the interim membership director! Every week I get asked if I still like them (my coworkers that is!). My answer is always of course I like it. I feel love, appreciation, + have support from the top down. This is exactly where God lead us.
It’s also a great day to reflect that it’s been a year since my “work” world was turned upside down. That my trajectory to this moment (of being in Oklahoma as a director) started one year ago. I can only reflect again on how God was working through all of that. When I thought I was being passed upon opportunity after opportunity, it was because I needed to go through all of that to be in the position I’m in, to be successful running two departments without looking back.
