Sad. Very Hard.
Today I told Solid Rock that I am not coming back next semester. (I have been working in the office for the last year and a half.) This makes me very sad. I cried. I really didn’t want to quit, but working there is not good for me. I feel God is not wanting me there right now; maybe I will come back in the future.
I am very broken-hearted about it. I am really going to miss the kids. I know they are going to miss me. I always hear the kids say “I wish Elissa was one of our teachers,” or “Elissa is so cool, ” Etc.
My idea of what my role should be is different from my boss’s idea. This causes a lot of strife. My boss last year treated me so differently and I felt like my gifts were being used and that I was appreciated. This summer my old boss left and I got a new one. I feel I don’t get treated with respect. I use to love waking up early and getting ready. I was always so excited to be there. Sometimes now I wish I was not even there. This year I feel that whatever I do is never good enough for my boss. This makes me so sad because I know that I do a wonderful job.

When it’s time to move on, move on. Sometimes that’s hard, sometimes not so much. But the hardest thing of all is staying somewhere when you are supposed to move on.

This summer my boss at Noodles left and we got a new guy who was also not very good. I used to be up front working with people, but now I always find myself doing dishes or whatever else he wants and it bums me out. I know how you feel and I’m sure God will bless you for following his voice! Love love.

Thanks JD. It’s hard. But I will get through it. I always like getting comments from you. You rock.
