There is a Season.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
 ¹ There is a time for everything, 
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:

 ² a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 ³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
 ⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 ⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
 ⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
   a time to keep and a time to throw away,
 ⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
   a time to be silent and a time to speak,
 ⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
   a time for war and a time for peace.

This is a piece of scripture that I hold onto as I head into this new chapter of my life. Thursday at 5:00pm my year spent at the Indianapolis Zoo came to an end. This was a scheduled end date, no surprises. I have learned and grown in so many different ways and for that I am thankful. However, with this end time comes fear.

I am officially unemployed and have a tinge of fear as I look into the next week knowing that the forty plus hours I have spend at the Indianapolis Zoo are no longer a part of my weekly routine. I fear that I have no purpose. That I am inadequate. That I am not just failing myself, but also my parents. 

Landing a job is not something that comes easy in these present times. I must remain patient. This is where I truly rely on the scripture. There is a time for every season of my life and God is in complete control of that. Where I will go, what I will do, and the lives I will touch will all be answered in good time. Until then I must be patient and trust in the Lord's plan and my season.

I have accomplished great things in my time at the Zoo and for that I am grateful. I will continue to lean on those accomplishments to push me forward to what is ahead. 

Prayers are always welcomed :)
