My Monday
While trying to figure out what I need to do and what my options are from here on out...I noticed todays date is 3/16. So if you know anything about the significant of 3:16 is that is an amazing bible verse.
John 3:16 (New International Version) 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. And my last day at my job, which is tomorrow 3/17
John 3:17 (New International Version) 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Make of it as you will, I think its very encouraging in the way God has spoken to me during this time of trial. To encourage me on, going out to world because there are so many reason I can be bitter as I leave but looking at how God has spoken to me and has shown me a way it is very up lifting in this time of hardship.

My Friday
So the feeling I've been having about my job and job situation has been rather interesting. I've turned from sad and depress to just looking forward to some time off and just relaxing. Even in this tough economic times you would think some one would in a frantic panic about things.
But I think in a way I've been shielded by the economic crisis in a lot better way than others. I've heard about friends getting laid off and dealing with savings and bills. I would say its kind of amusing looking back at things in a way where all the ducks start lining themselves in a row. I stated in previous post that there are several things I wanted do before considering a new job...save enough money to last in case of emergency(6 months worth) as well as get a year or two of experience. Which I kind of have.
And then now, kind of a turn of evens as I'm leaving...another team in my company has scheduled me for an interview. So In a way God has answered two years of prayers in two weeks ...during an economic recession.
I just have to remind myself that he walks on water time to time.
“[More Than Conquerors] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”- Romans 8:28

My Morning Thoughts
Forgot to post on wednesday because I thought it was tuesday and now I'm posting on thursday because I forgot to post on wednesday and I'm going to redo on saturday. Of course the last part is irrelevant but decided to throw that in there anyways.
I've been praying about things and looking at the subject of my prayers from many different angles to figure out the pros and cons of which happen to be my situation.
Looking at what God is trying to tell me, or if its God answer to my prayers or something that is a trail God wants me to go thought, or D all the above.
Kind of funny how certain pieces of things are falling into place which I've prayed in the past. Reading from my journal I can see a series of check points that I've set for myself being answered by God. Chronologically things that I've wanted to accomplish before the next, and at the moment aligning themselve all in an instance.
I would have say praying about these things have kept me sane and not to worried about things. Know the situation and the situation of others, I'm a little better of than some others.

My One Year Mark
Next Tuesday is the one year mark of my landing my new jobs. Ironically it will also be the last. I was informed the prior Tuesday that I will be let go due to workforce reduction. I understand the reasoning behind it all. Its business, they need to cut corners in times like this.
But I guess this is also a good case in point of one of my prayers being answered or a trail that goes back to basics in which to rely on God and trust him. I remember prior to joining Accenture, I asked God what did he thing about it and if it was a good fit for me. I didn't get an answer, but rather I just let things build on its own to see if this is what God might be leading me to. I always thought to myself a good time frame of knowing if you are a good fit for something is that you should always try it out to see if you like or don't like it.
So I guess in a way God gave me a year to see if I like working here. hmmm, interesting huh.
I'm actually looking forward to some time off, and just doing a little soul search if it happens that it is not in Gods will that I belong here. Change is taking place, and I remember I use to dread change...but for some reason I'm actually looking forward to it this time around.

My Prayers and the future
Praying thought tough times has given me a lot to fall back on. Know that God is with me during my trials and time has been a relief.
