"Even though I couldn't see how this would move forward, I trusted that what I needed would be provided," Becky says. She goes on to say:
"Anytime you get slapped in the face with how little control you have - now that's interesting.
There is such room for growth. The saying, 'Let go and let God' has real power."
If Becky's professional kryptonite is not knowing, Superman (or the Holy Spirit) must have appeared in Billings that day. Four hours after she resigned and drove out of the First Interstate parking lot, her old boss from Kadrmas Lee & Jackson (KLJ), unaware of what had transpired, called Becky to say, "we can't fill your job. Is there any way we can bring you back?"
"I slept like the dead the night I quit," Becky says with relief. "The headaches went away, the panic attacks stopped, and my body responded in all kinds of positive ways." In the weeks that followed, Becky worked with her former boss at KLJ to wonder about the projects - and who that work benefits - that might rekindle her joy and inspire her to return to KLJ. With new energy for the work and a vision of how she could "grow in place," Becky returned to her work at KLJ as a Government Relations Specialist.

Thresholds Not Crossed
A Blessing by Jan Richardson

and did not choose to cross.”
