The moment that Monica found herself on the receiving end of a "Thank you, but we're going in a different direction" conversation from an employer that she once loved will be forever etched in her mind. At the time, because her pain was so great, she almost missed the fact that she was actually released to something, rather than released from something. Though she would have stayed where she was until retirement, God had a different plan for her life. Over the course of 24 months, her life changed dramatically. She'll be the first to tell you that following His lead can at times be challenging and scary and overwhelming. But if you stick with it, you can experience life on a level that's far beyond your dreams. Her prayer is that by sharing her journey, you'll know that you, or someone you love, can come out on the winning end of a "Thank you, but we're going in a different direction" conversation.About the Author: Monica Lynne Foster is the author of Bad Choices Can Be Deadly
