OK God...I'm Listening

You know...just when I want to be really down on myself, the big guy upstairs reminds me in the most unique ways that I am not forgotten while temporarily here on Earth. OK God..I'm listening! Weekends so far have been the proverbial thorn in my side but today was really interesting. I toggle back and forth from 9 to 9:30 since I don't have DVR or anything. I am a devoted CBS Sunday morning "disciple" however it also conflicts with Joel Olsteen's inspirational message. This morning, I changed the channel exactly at the moment Joel said " you are not forgotten". It's like God knew I needed to hear that this morning. I literally told Evan on Friday (to paraphrase), I can now accept that I will be alone on the companionship front since I seem to be the common denominator in every scenario. Early this afternoon I got not one but two differing emails where the three of us had our alma mater in common. Talk about six degrees of separation. One guy I worked with over ten years ago...didn't even know he remembered me. The other, someone who I may have indirectly worked with in my old traffic and continuity days. He too went to my undergrad school. We talked on the phone for like two hours. It felt nice to talk to a human being on a weekend. Then I checked email and Lori sent me a really cute ecard sending me a smile. All of these "God hits" helped lift me today. While I haven't been feeling "rock bottom" I am not exactly at my high point these days. I know the big guy is reminding me that I matter and that a window will open up somewhere. Just pray that there are no problems with unemployment insurance and I will be ok. Don't want the messes that I have heard from other people where employers are basically being asses and creating mess for former employees when it isn't justified all to save a greedy buck. I'm listening. Going to remember to keep myself open on all fronts from career to personal to spiritual roads. I really want to become fluent in Spanish but lately I have also been thinking about Italian also. Better get on the linguistics. OK...better sign off so that I don't jinx the good karma. Thanks God! I'm going to keep praying.
