When God Brings It Full Circle: A Story of Triumph, Vindication, and Obedience
Full circle.
This moment right here is what full circle truly feels like—when God leads you back into the very places that once wounded you, not to reopen the pain but to reveal the victory. When He whispers, “I never forgot. I was working the whole time.”
Lately, God has been reminding me of past victories—times when I felt unheard, unseen, dismissed, or mishandled. Moments where people thought their decisions were final, but Heaven had already issued its verdict and stamped VINDICATED across my name. God knows our ending before our beginning, and He knows how to bring every story into divine completion.
I remember the year 2000 as if it were yesterday. I had spent months trying to correct what was out of order under my supervision—following every union guideline, documenting every detail, walking in integrity. But insubordination was constant, attendance issues were never-ending, and the director who should have supported me became part of the problem.
There comes a moment when protecting your integrity is the only way forward.
So I submitted my resignation letter.
The moment I handed it to her, everything shifted. Suddenly, she and the assistant director appeared at my desk every day—begging me to stay, pleading with me to retract the letter, spending hours trying to persuade me. Their desperation revealed what they never acknowledged: they knew the dysfunction, and they knew my departure would expose it.
In the middle of their pressure, God spoke so clearly it drowned out every voice around me:
“Do not take it back.”
He told me that withdrawing it would strip the truth and integrity from everything I had written. So I stood firm.
Then God gave me another instruction that made absolutely no sense:
“Take your resignation to Human Resources.”
I had no intention of returning to that job. None. Yet I obeyed. HR received it with honor and said, “If you ever want to return, you can. Your integrity precedes you.” Still, I privately said, I’m never coming back.
Six weeks later, my then-husband told me to file for unemployment. I didn’t want to. I didn’t understand it. But out of obedience, I applied.
And not only did I win—
All I submitted was my resignation letter.
God defended me before I even realized I needed defending.
Because when God seals your vindication, no one can reverse it.
Then came nine years.
Nine years where hospital doors remained closed.
Nine years of wondering why God made me submit that resignation letter to HR.
Then, God did what only God can do.
A new director-level position was created—equal in authority to hers—and she had no influence over it. God opened the door supernaturally. I even interviewed for it and was offered the position.
But fear whispered louder than faith.
I was intimidated.
I didn’t feel qualified.
So I turned it down and took another job.
I worked that job for 15 months… until God spoke again:
“Call them back.”
When I did, I didn’t even have to interview again.
Right before I called them back, the entire organization had gone through a major layoff, and all new positions were supposed to be eliminated first—
but this position was spared.
Preserved. Protected. Held open by God’s hand.
So I stepped into it.
Then in 2010—ten years after my resignation—PricewaterhouseCoopers and MedAssets performed a system-wide audit. The new system director, the same woman who originally hired my former director, saw every buried issue.
And God brought it FULL CIRCLE.
The same director who once fought me now had only 15 months until retirement. She sent for me. I came graciously. She begged me to intercede for her job—the same way she once begged me to stay.
But Heaven had already spoken.
She was let go.
She had to relocate out of state.
It took her over ten years to recover what obedience could have preserved.
Her disobedience cost her.
My obedience elevated me.
God is the Righteous Judge.
You don’t have to fight for your name.
You don’t have to defend yourself.
You don’t have to prove anything.
God sees.
God hears.
God responds.
And when He brings it full circle…
the vindication is undeniable.
He will rewrite every wrong.
Let Him make it right.
