A New Chapter

Well, it has happened the Steiger household has been rocked! Not necessarily in a good way. I was laid off from my job like many Americans these days. I was very shocked and upset when I was told the news. It seemed very surreal while my boss was talking and at some point I am not even sure what he was saying. I cried.....alot that day. I felt like there was big neon sign above my head that said "LAID OFF". I packed up my desk that day and left with a box of stuff. Of course, someone can to the elevator while I was waiting. I wanted to blurb out "I was laid off not fired." But I figured that guy would probably think I was certifiable! At that moment I did think I was certifiable. This was a huge blow to my already fragile self esteem. I always felt inadequet everytime I walked into my office so this was just one more things to pick on the board. After the tears...er fog cleared I started to feel like this happened for a reason. I have been unhappy most of the summer and conteplating looking for something different or feeling like I was being called into a different direction. So I know this was for a reason and I am eager to hear what God wants me to do.
