Father God, what a shock to receive an invitation to consider the position of Director of Social Work at TaraVista. What an honor and what a vindication. As much as the experience of the past year has hurt and even wounded me, this invitation has brought a measure of salve and comfort. It may be too soon to know whether full healing has started, but the reprieve feels nice.
Now I ask for Your direction. The money is a big incentive. Full-time is not my preference, but nothing is forever. In fact, if I had not been "discharged," I would still be working full-time. Did You shove me out of a job for the purpose of giving me more free time? Or did You shove me out of government service and an unhealthy working environment for the purpose of giving me something better? Help me to hear what You are directing (word choice intentional) me to do. I like the opportunity to be generous and to plan for future housing costs, both repairs and purchase. Please be clear! You know my heart inclines toward You and Your purposes in my life, in my family, and in Your world. I see in Scripture that some of Your people believed they were doing the right thing for You but it was neither at Your direction nor with Your blessing.
Waiting for You, Father God. Amen.
