I find myself in curious place. I have never received a poor performance appraisal until now. My performance last year was less than stellar to say the least. The main reason for me is easy to identify, do I enjoy what I do right now, not exactly. So the review was not a big surprise.
Be careful of what you ask God for. You may get more of a push than you are ready for. That said, I have opportunity to do something truly amazing. If my ideas are well received, I may be able to take section my company that is a point of shame for my management and bring it to life. This part of the company has always been perceived as a necessary evil. It has received little attention and does not strive to be much.
I told a friend of mine I feel kind of like Peter. The first foot out of the boat was scheduling a meeting with the head of our business unit. The second was actually having the meeting. So now that I am completely on the water. I must place my trust in the Lord that he will see me through. The upside, many of my ideas are consistent with his. My biggest fear was not if he said no but said yes instead. Right now I have a maybe which means go back, prepare some more and put the plan together.
