First Timer

So, I've decided that this blogging thing may be a good idea, although it may only last for a few weeks as I have a tendancy to be a bit unfocused at times. So this week has been kind of crazy. As some of you know, I applied for a job at Ford. I thought I wanted to try something different, and I thought this may be the answer. I was aware of the turmoil and uncertainty that the auto industry brought along with it, but the amount of money that was potentially available to make was appealing. So I applied, I went through the ridiculous hiring process which entailed me to take about 4 days off of my current job, and I got the call. I was offered the job. I thanked them, and hung up the phone. Meanwhile, I've been praying about this decision, I was praying for a peace about it, which was recommended to me by a wise man I know. I wasn't getting that peace that I wanted. Finally I sat down with Christina and told her how I was feeling. It didn't feel right. So on friday July 18 I decided I was not going to take the job, and I felt a lot better about my decision. The funny thing is that Monday or Tuesday Ford announced they were cancelling that shift all together and all these people that were hired for these jobs were now out of work, before even starting. I know this teaches me how to listen to what God is telling me, and also teaches me that I don't really have it that bad as it is. I could always want more, and want better, but I need to thankful for what I have. A beautiful caring wife, a baby on the way, my shack of a house, and my little Coke of a cat. God will provide, but it's on his terms, not mine.
