Random jogs: Bruised, but not destroyed

Isaiah 42:3
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

Here I am sitting at my home computer, just a couple of days after being let go from where I worked. Actually as I work through the shock, I feel the gorilla is off my back. I don't know what tomorrow holds, or where I'll be working, but that's ok. God's taking care of us and doing a fine job.

* Thank you Lord that we have all the baby items in hand and paid for, before she comes.
* Thank the Lord that we have paid off 2 debts and if work is found, will pay off the third by June.
* Thank the Lord, that we can pay all the bills to the end of the month.
* Thank the Lord that our doctor's office gave us a 4 month supply of asthma medicine for Moriah ($400), and wrote out a prescription for 1 month as well.
* All the prescriptions and 3 doctor's visits were covered on the very last day of coverage.
* I can look forward to my weekend, with my girls(2 1/2 and one on the way).
* My wife is at a ladies retreat, and they are just loving her and lifting her up.
* I was able to back up any critical items on the laptop, to other media, so that we lost very little data.
* Already there are employment options opening up.
* Believers are rallying around us, and let us know they care.

The specter that has loomed from the end of last year has left. I was getting drained quickly, having been on the go, for far too long. Perhaps, I'll find some job that I like even better, helping people with their energy use. Perhaps, God will lead me out of this field altogether and into full time ministry.

I'm a blind man, led by the Lord, Himself. Waiting is hard, but He has only plans to prosper us. Prosper not to wealth and fame, but prosper in the faith. I rest in His love and grace. Tomorrow the blind steps of faith will come, and we'll set off on a new journey.

Update 4/11/07

It's been a week. God has been good. I have had a couple of interviews. One might pan out to something.

Praises:
*Health Insurance is still in force, covered a doctor's visit and prescription.
*Generous friends have helped us along the way.
*Part time/Consultant work is something I can do immediately.

Prayer:
*We are going to try and maintain the health insurance through a COBRA until the baby is born, through some generous friends.
*Business sense to understand how to run a business of my own if this is one of the next steps.
*Return calls from other contacts I've left messages with.
*Waiting is hard.

Waiting upon the Lord is very hard for me, I'm a go do it kind of person.
