A New Chapter

For the first time in my life I have experienced something I thought I would never face.....being let go from a job....terminated, fired, laid off, whatever you want to call it.  Just three months short of my 60th birthday I find myself unemployed.  It's a new experience...no doubt about it.  The unemployment claim has been filed and the job search has begun.  I sure could get accustomed to not waking to an alarm clock five days a week.  That's definitely been one of the bright spots during the adventure to this point.  Will I ever return to full-time employment?  How about part-time or an unknown third possibility?  I'm trusting the Lord as best as I know how through it all.  If this is all part of a bigger plan that I cannot discern at this time, I pray I will be sensitive to and aware of His will as the days go by.  I would really like to move to the coast and be involved in some kind of ministry.  That's my desire if only the pieces would fall in place.
