I feel stuck. A website I’m using says this stage of job change is about disorientation because things are not what they were but are not yet what they will be.
I worked at this job for 5+ years. I was not surprised, neither were the others in my department who were also laid off. The hospital system executives decided that voice recognition was a way to cut costs, so it was initiated. The 6 positions are cut to 2. That first day, I actually was excited. I believe God had warned me that change was coming, that I would benefit from it, and that I would be happier and more productive for His kingdom as a result.
The change freed me at a time of family crisis and let me focus on being available for connecting with my family in Canada, even though I did not get to go see them as I had hoped. That crisis has abated and they are working through the changes; I am moving through my own stages of grief related to the crisis.
Now I face seeking God’s face about what He wants for me next. It somewhat hinges on another situation and waiting on the outcome of that adds to the uncertainty. Daily I tell Him that I want what He wants and plans, whatever that is. I naturally hate not knowing what’s ahead; I think we all are disturbed when we cannot see the next step. A praying friend saw me hedged in by tall green shrubs. I could not go backward and there were no dead ends, she said, just a straight path in front of me. I believed it’s His word to me for now.
Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day.
