The Last Day
This was my official last day as an employee of the high-tech company where I used to work. It's funny how hard it has hit me. I haven't even had to go in since the last week of July. My identity has been more wrapped up in my work than I ever imagined. Father God will want to heal my heart of this I know.

When the people you work with only value you for doing brilliant things, you tend to spend your time doing brilliant things. God values you because he made you exactly as you are. Why do we spend more time trying to please our employers than we do our Heavenly father?

Perhaps my getting health insurance quotes has made me realize that working might not be so bad. No one would quote me a personal policy price. Isn't that amazing? I can get small business insurance after I've been in business for a year if I gross a certain amount. So friends and neighbors, step right up and buy lots of stuff from www.theredmushroom.com

COBRA will cover me for a while longer and I think I will get a job soon after the first of the year--probably with the company which laid me off. That's at least what I tend to get as I'm praying about it.
