It has been some time since my last post and that is due in part to over working myself. I should be happy since I hadn't had a full time job in over two years, but I am not. I just found out I am losing the job I have now. While I already knew this would be a possibility it still hurts the same.
Let me give you a history of what has happened so far. In August of 2010 I received a phone call from an old employer. They offered me a temporary position that could lead to permanent. The pay was great and I would still be able to keep my part time ministry position at the church. I jumped at the chance. I was now working full time as a consultant for the food service program at a local community college.
So here we are almost six months later and I finally have gotten through the hiring process of trying to be permanent at the college and they have picked someone else. The initial shock of realizing that my time here will be ending hit me like a bulldozer. It took a few hours for it to set into my brain that after opening the cafeteria and working with some amazing employees, it will all be over in less than a month. My wife took it a bit harder and is still trying to process this new turn of events. We had plans, we had planned out the entire next year. It isn't fair, is all I could think.
Then it hit me. God is in control. I knew this may come. My frustration is my own fault. God provided for my family for the last six months and I am confident, no I am assured, that he will continue to provide. Deep down I know that God is in control and that I have nothing to worry about. It's the humanity in me that keeps this depressing feeling that I just missed out on something cool. Sometimes life deals a hand that seems for all intents and purposes bad, but can become the best thing ever. I look to that today. I know it isn't going to be easy, but I know that God is in it with me.
I can't get depressed and all down on myself, I need to charge forward and see what is in store next. I hope that when things are looking dark for you, you can remember that God is in control.
God Bless
