It's been a while since my last posting here. Things have been rather busy since the arrival of my little baby girl, Julie, on September 17th. What a ride it has been. Little Julie had a rough start to life. Long story short, she spent the first 3 weeks of her life in the hospital. She didn't get to come home until October 8th. Those 3 weeks certainly drew me closer to God in prayer and meditation. When I least expected, God showed up.
This week I learn that my position at Bosch, which I've held for the past 12 years, will be eliminated in 2010. ZOW! I can honestly say that I wasn't surprised. The automotive industry is in a slump. I now have plenty of motivation to find a job elsewhere. My wife and I would love to move up to the Fruitport, MI, area where she grew up. I do have hope that God will show up just at the right time.
All this experience has tested and grown my faith. I like to think of faith as like a tall oak tree. Such a tree takes several years to grow so big and tall. Faith is the same way. Faith just doesn't happen quickly. It take a lifetime to grow, and starts from a small seed.
I don't know what will happen next or how. I do know that God is waiting for me there. So I continue to trust Him...and that's faith.
