Career Change

For those of you that know me- you may recall me mentioning possibly changing careers.
Well, as many of you understand- God's timing is not always what/when you would expect it to be...
having said that- I find myself at a crossroads, and a critical one at that. The decisions I make in the next few weeks (pending the outcome of interviews, applications, etc) will likely set the course of my employment for the rest of my working life.
I view it as a great opportunity- but having spent nearly 20 years in this field, any change is nerve-wracking. Also, the impact on my family could be quite substantial.
Please keep me, my wife and the kids in your prayers.
Thanks!

Ok but just understand that I fully expect you to change your name and avatar accordingly. Can we expect to see a PAButcher or PAAccountant soon?

good point.
I had not given that due consideration!
hmmm
May have to rethink the whole thing.

I've made a similar dramatic change this summer and I couldn't be more pleased. I honestly believe God blesses us for taking "steps of faith".

definitely- more like a LEAP of faith though!
somewhat apprehensive, but excited too.
thanks to all- will update you as things happen
PS: did I mention that MrsPA is in the same position!
Come spring, things may be 180 deg from what they are currently

Prayers from Philly Medic...I am in the great City of Brotherly Love for Thanksgiving. Staying downtown and loving it! I will try to call this weekend to see if a little Medic/job change baby is here. Don't know if we can get together with all the family I have to visit but again, you guys are definitely in my prayers.

Yes, Chief Wiggum, I mean Chief Ramsey from DC. I didn't think he was very good. I grew up on the mean streets of Philly man. I may be suburban now but I still have my survival instincts

I am praying that the Lord gives you wisdom as you look to possibly make a chinge in direction in your life PA. I know Sly went through (and is still going through Im sure) the same sorts of things when he made a change earlier in the year. May God's will be done no matter what.

Big day coming up for me next Monday so please keep me in mind. If successful, I will be starting a major transition come this spring, and will be able to update you guys accordingly.
Also, MrsPA has started a transition of her own and has an important meeting tomorrow. Please pray for us.
I know God has the whole deal under control but its still nerve-wracking.

You are in my prayers, having a little one and all definitely makes it more nerve-wracking.
