If I had realized that my resignation would bring so many nice comments about what a great guy I was, how effective my outstanding journalism was, and how much my sterling personality would be missed, I would have left years ago.<\/p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, those comments have been balanced by others that have kept my feet on the ground:<\/p>\n\n<p>One person said, &#8220;I thought you&#8217;d never leave.&#8221; (I couldn&#8217;t quite make out the emphasis.)<\/p>\n\n<p>Another said, with an enigmatic smile, &#8220;We can&#8217;t quite believe you&#8217;re leaving.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>A third simply said: &#8220;You have been here for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Others have been a bit more bald. For years I have encouraged candor from my colleagues, and I interpret the following as proof that my lessons have been learned:<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Am I going to get what you promised me last year?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;When football coaches retire, the whole staff goes, too. Does this mean I need to look for another job?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Far and away, however, the most interesting group of comments (and the ones that surprised me the most) came from those who were also considering job changes. I had been naive, I guess, about how many and how often people in our culture think about their careers and ways to advance them. Seeing someone else make a move, I learned, triggers a wide range of emotions, and it places the person making the move in the position of confidante and reassurer.<\/p>\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know that I did a very good job in these roles. I know that I didn&#8217;t come out of it an expert in vocational counseling. But I did find myself saying several things over and over again.<\/p>\n\n<p>Often the questions were basic queries about whether or not they should look for a new position. &#8220;I&#8217;m not really unhappy with what I&#8217;m doing,&#8221; explained one, &#8220;but I don&#8217;t want to miss any opportunities, either.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>My unfailing advice to these was this: Explore every possibility.<\/p>\n\n<p>I based my advice on some I received long ago. You never know how God&#8217;s call will come. And sometimes the very process of going through a job inquiry, search, or even interview will tell you more about what it is you really want to do.<\/p>\n\n<p>After I dropped this pearl of wisdom, however, I always felt compelled to add a balancing maxim: Create a bias against leaving.<\/p>\n\n<p>Like it or not, we are fickle creatures, and some days the slightest thing can upset us. The grass-is-greener syndrome is a powerful pull, and too many things conspire to make us think we can do better elsewhere. All said and done, however, we usually can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our transitory society makes a virtue out of short job tenures and temporary experiences. Models of success are often portrayed as a series of different kinds of jobs that broaden one&#8217;s horizons. This freedom to change may not be entirely bad, but the extremes to which it is taken probably are. I know one man who moved often and then found a year ago he couldn&#8217;t get a new job. He&#8217;s still looking.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Christian concept of faithfulness endorses a willingness to stick things out even when the going gets tough. We can legitimately apply that concept to our current jobs, colleagues, and employers.<\/p>\n\n<p>But I found myself always saying a third thing, too: Nothing on earth is forever; God is in control. In the final analysis, we are pilgrims passing through this land, headed for a final home in heaven. That scriptural truth has application to as mundane a thing as what we do for a living. The most important thing is being in tune with God&#8217;s will for our life, not building a career, which can&#8217;t possibly last.<\/p>\n\n<p>I&#8217;m leaving my job here to teach at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The decision was difficult, and after exploring all the pros and cons I found myself tipped in the direction of going by the following line of logic:<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; teaching the courses I will be assigned in Texas is a job that must be done. It is important to the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; teaching is something I can do; others have confirmed it is one of my gifts.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; teaching is something I want to do; I will enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n<p>How often in life do we get to do something important for the Kingdom, and enjoy it at the same time? I have felt blessed in having both at CTi-and now in my new job, too.<\/p>\n\n<p>My years at CTi have been good. I have learned much as an editor, and I will miss that role deeply. I will continue to be associated with the publishing ministries of CTi from my new home in Texas. Once editing gets in the blood, it&#8217;s impossible to quit cold turkey.<\/p>\n\n<p>But I leave having learned the biggest lesson of all-the sufficiency of the gospel of Jesus Christ. No matter how difficult the problem, the story of God-become-man-to-save-us-from-our-sins works every time to show the way.<\/p>\n\n<p>In an age when intellectual fashion changes yearly, and management techniques more often than that, the never-ending nourishment of the gospel is really quite remarkable. It&#8217;s so remarkable that when career seekers asked me for advice, I told them all the other things, but I always ended with this amazing thought: the gospel is sufficient.<\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the thought I leave with you.<\/p>\n\n<p>Terry C.
