A New Chapter Begins


Two weeks from today will mark the next chapter of my life.  For those who have read my previous posts, you know I became one of the unemployment statistics on February 1, 2012.  During that time, God has sustained and provided for me in many wonderful ways.  While there are a lot of uncertainties ahead, there are many things which are known because God has revealed them to me at just the right time. 

A new job will begin on May 7, 2012; to have found what I consider to be an excellent job and to have found it in a span of two months is miraculous when considering our current economic conditions.  Many have gone months and years without finding gainful employment.  Every part of my being tells me that God is behind it all; just as He has provided all previous stepping stones, I know this is yet another step that must be taken to place me exactly where I need to be.

I am so blessed that God never gives up on us!  It took 11 years for me to find the church home I have today.  He had to work over time to help me see where I was needed and where I needed to be, and now that I have been with my church for a little over a year, He is taking me down another path.  This past year with Central Christian Church (DOC) has taught me how very much God loves us all regardless of who we are.  My eyes have been opened in ways I could never have imagined, and I know where my new church home will be.  I’m actually looking forward to visiting it for the first time, but at the same time it greatly saddens me to be leaving my current church.

There is a lot to do over the next two weeks such as finding a place to live, getting our Terre Haute house on the market, moving part of what I will need during my temporary housing.  Then I begin the process of starting a new job, getting to know co-workers, learning how to get around a new town and finding my way around within the new company’s premises.

God is good!
