ADVENT 1: Week of November 21-27, 2011

1A8

I have felt my life falling apart! I was a young married father of two with a good  job living the American dream.  I was buying a house.

Then I got layed-off.  I sent out 50 resumes and go no repose. What to do?  I could go after a master degree.  My wife could substitute teach.

My wife could not take the stress of teaching.  What to do now? My God, what shall I do.

I talked to my wife and friends.  I prayed for guidance.

Then it can to me, God is the great provider.  If I put must trust in God, He will provide for me and my family.  So, instead of looking for a job that did not exist, I went back to school to work for a master degree in Electrical Engineering.  

One of the first things that happened, I was able to get a small contract with the State of California that helped pay the mortgage and put food on the table. The contract lasted about a year.  What now, God.

I got a phone call from a fellow I use to work with.  His question to me was I interested in a part time job.  Thank you, God.  I took the job and it lasted until I got my master degree.

I found a job with my new degree with a good local company and worked for them for 28 years.

So, we do not always have all the answers to our problem, but if trust, GOD WILL PROVIDE!
