Last Day of Employment

Well the end has finally come. My last day of work has ended with my final paycheck in hand! I would like to say that I am a little saddened by this but, I am extremely optimistic and eager to see what the Lord has in store for me and my family. today was fairly easy and nothing out of the ordinary happened, it was all quiet on the home front(so to speak). I have a great referral letter from my ex-boss and I have found out that their are allot of programs offered by the VA to assist in my transition. I think that what I am most anticipating is the return of my wife from her Zonta meeting, I cant wait until she returns to comfort me with he love and affection, she should be home on Sunday night! tomorrow morning is the Men's Breakfast and then the movie Courageous in the evening, this should be awesome!
Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are Gods children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory!

The Day After

Today started off great even though I woke up late, I had a great attitude going into work today, but it slowly started to deteriorate as the day progressed. It seems as though there is a secret at work and the people that don't have a job after Friday are being left out of the loop, I know that it is probably the enemy playing mind games with me but it is a feeling never the less! Today I packed up my belongings and purged my computer of all the junk I have amassed over the last 3 years; and I realized that for the first time since February 1995 I would not have access to a military installation! Wow, that is a trip! the prognosis for the day is(drum roll please, DDDDD)
I am still embracing the loss of my job and expectant for what the lord has in store for me! only I can change my attitude and yes I need to work on that! tomorrow is my last day I am supposed to receive my final check in paper form and then the next chapter of my life will Begin. It will be hard to say good by to some of the people I work with but I feel a sense of calm as I think about the last minute details of my departure...what will God have for me!
Psalm 40:5 Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.

The News

Today I found out that as of friday I will join the ranks of the millions of unemployed people, my first thought was were is the camera, this is a joke right!(pause for dramatic effect) Well, its not a joke and no, there wasnt a camera, well at least I didnt see one. I then decided to embrace this situation and use it as a tool to reconstruct Starkman, I will be blogging my accomplishments my stumbles and my triumphs over the next few months as I try to figure out were I will go from here! Please join me on my journey and feel free to push me and extend friendly advice along the way.
