Calling in the prayer warriors

I've had a good run going of posting about Mom's progress but this one is on another subject.

Back in January I posted 2007 in review and in there I talked about being

"anxious to see what's in store in 2008. I feel that it is going to be a breaking free kind of year. Breaking free from a lot of the bondage that has led to the tough times in 2007"

I still am very interested to see what's going to take place. I certainly didn't expect what happened this past Friday to take place but it did. This past Friday I was laid off from my job.

The economy and slow sales at the company where I've worked for the past 11 years finally took it's tole on my position. Finding myself in the job market is very new. There are possibilities of deals coming through and me being called back soon. But there's also the chance of never being called back.

I know many people are very well prepare for financial issues like being laid off. I'm not one of them. I must be back working and having a cash flow as soon as possible. The world of Information Technology that I've worked in for the past 21 years has changed drastically and right now it is in a big slump.

I don't want to sound whiny but I do just want anyone who reads this to add my job search to their prayer list. I know prayer changes things and I know everything is gonna be all right. The more prayer warriors I have in my army the better.

I have been told by many people over the years that I seem to have "the patience of Job". Well, now is a good time for me to exercise that patience as I actively wait to see what's in store. By actively wait I mean that I'm not just going to be sitting in a recliner waiting for a phone call. I'm going to be getting my resume out and networking to see what opportunities I can try and be considered for. The patience comes in when contacts have been made and I'm waiting to see just what the Lord has in store.

Thanks for the prayers.
