Job Search

Last week, I lost my job.

Actually, everyone in our agency lost his or her job.

So many lives put into a tailspin.

I was faced with joblessness about 3 years ago. Thanks to good friends and help from above, I landed on my feet.

For a time, anyway.

The feeling of not knowing where your next paycheck will come from is scary. Especially when there are kids and wives and other family at home depending on you.

But since this bomb went off in my world, just six days ago, the overwhelming support from friends and business colleagues has been incredible.

It's friends listening and passing along job leads.

It's my son's principal waving our fees for his tuition for two months without being asked.

It's a friend dropping off a 12 pack of Stella Artois and hiding at $75 gift card for groceries.

It's friends from my Sunday School class leaving voice messages of support along with reassuring Bible verses, like this one.

It's neighbor's adding my situation to their church's prayer lists.

It's business colleagues finding time to grab a coffee and brainstorm options.

It's all this and so much more. Many things, that I might not even been aware of.

As me and my family go through this stormy time, I ask that you keep us in your prayers. I truly believe God will provide a beautiful opportunity...I just at this point have no idea what (or where that will be).

And that's both exciting and frightening.

I prolly won't post here for a while. At least until I land in a new gig. But whenever that is, I'm sure there will be great stories to tell about the journey.

Thanks for reading...and God Bless!
