March 17 , 2009 /Lay Off

I was layed off by my company that I worked for the past 24 years. WOW!
I was confused and irritated when it happened. I never really knew what a door being slammed in my face felt like. Now I know how God feels when I turn my back on him and sin. Its just a terrible feeling that is hard to describe. Lonliness, abandonment,and embarassment are a few words that come to mind. I was let go obviously due to the grim financial market that continues to plague the nation , and in my case the construction industry.
I finally finished a resume for myself. Until now, I never had to shop for a job. Having been blessed over the years with only 2 employers, I think I took my employment for granted. I never let down and in my opinion went out on top of my game. I loved what I did and was good at performing under pressure. I miss the game terribly and find myself somewhat lost every morning without a job. I'm putting out resumes and deal with the unemployment people regularly. I'm just trying to keep my head up and get back in the game.
Sometimes we all turn our backs on God and recklessly drift through life without meaning. Life is hard during these times, but you know what, maybe its time for all of us to get back in the game with God, regardless if we have jobs or not.
Remember Philippians 4:6 "Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done."
Have a good day.


Blessings
