That’s what you hear at theme parks when you get on thrill rides. Although I haven’t heard anyone say that yet, I am on the thrill ride of my life! I accepted the voluntary separation agreement from Lowe’s. No, I don’t have a job to go to. No, I don’t know where I am going to go. Yes, I do know that the Lord will take care of me and my family.
I kept thinking that I would take the separation agreement as long as I could find a job first (smart thinking, right?). But what I realized is, God doesn’t work that way. He wants TOTAL obedience. He wants us to surrender ALL to Him. I was still depending on me. I was still relying on my own abilities. Its funny, cause I looked for a few jobs before this revelation and there were not that many, and I was getting concerned, thinking that I will be staying at Lowe’s as long as possible since the job market was slim. I got hit on the head with the realization that I hadn’t surrendered all, that I wasn’t totally relying on God and I said, “Okay Lord, job or no job, I am taking the VSP. I am relying on you all the way.” Once the decision was made, it was a relief, excitement, nervousness, all those things. But when I did a job search this afternoon (AFTER the decision) I kid you not, I had at least 100 hits on positions in my field of expertise.
Now starts a new chapter…
