So, I was required by the State of WA to attend a mandatory class to explain unemployment benefits and to encourage you in your search for a new job/career. I was supposed to take this class in February; however, with my trip to Asia I had to put it off for a month.
I have to admit, I went in with a terrible attitude. Thinking, "WHY??" I know how to job search, I know about unemployment benefits, I didn't like the lady who answered the phone and tried to help...the list goes on. So instead of being encouraged on how to search for a job, I left knowing that I needed to search my heart concerning my attitude towards the whole thing.
I am not above others. I have nothing more than those that are in the same boat as me with unemployment. Why do I think myself above these menial classes? Is it pride? Ouch! What I do have is Jesus Christ living in my heart, but was He evident today? Probably not and for that I do ask forgiveness.
My faith level has increased since being unemployed, as I am relying solely on God and his provision in my life. However, my attitude sometimes needs a little adjusting. Just as people go to a Chiropractor for regular adjustments, I find I need to go daily before the throne for my attitude adjustment. Thank you Jesus that I am mature enough to recognize the bad attitudes and snottiness that can come forth, and thank you that you forgive me and show me how to move on and which road to take.
I am still praying for open doors and direction during this time in my life. At my current "Y" in life, do I go to the left or go to the right? What is down each path waiting for me at the end? Have I hesiatated too long at the Y? Did God nudge me one direction, and I just didn't pay attention? Thank God, He is there at the Y making sure I make the right decision. And you know what? Even if I didn't make the perfect decision, I serve a God that can make that lesser decision the best for me life. What an awesome God. I firmly believe that the direction to take is coming soon.
Thanks for listening, or should I say reading.

Sven and Ole worked together, and both were laid off, so off they went to the unemployment office.

Asked his occupation, Ole said "Panty stitcher. I sew the elastic onto
cotton panties." www.enterbet.com
The clerk looked up panty stitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled
labor, she gave him $300 a week unemployment pay.
Sven was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter" he replied. sportsbook
Since diesel fitters was a skilled job the clerk gave Sven $600 a week.
When Ole found out he was furious. He stormed back in to find out why
his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained: panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters
were skilled labor.
"What skill?" yelled Ole. "I sew the elastic on, Sven pulls on it and
says, "Yep, diesel fitter
