I will finish my training for the phone company this week...finally! Monday, I actually get to start as an outside tech. I started this change last Nov 2nd. Since my B day is the 1st, this must be my present to me...lol. Here I am 62, 3 yrs from retirement age & I'm going to be climbing poles?!? I guess you could say, I'm NOT going into old age gracefully.
Now this phone company is being sold to another & I won't be working for the one I started with 10 yrs ago. This has been the best job I have ever had--but, I worry about the future (both mine & the phone co). I know God is in-charge & that He has always taken care of me; so, why should He stop now...right?
None the less, I am concerned. I don't think the phone company, as I have known it, will survive another five yrs. In spite of all these new (to me) skills I have concluded they won't be needed much longer. So, I suppose I ought to earn all I can, while I still can & be thankful.
And, will I be able to retire {66 is my goal}? I don't know; but, certainly my Lord does. I do know that God is good, that He will always provide for me & mine either way.
I worry about fulfilling my beautiful spouses' dreams and needs (getting home to AR and the family she loves so much), and still meeting the needs of my Mom (in her old age), children (with their struggles), grandchildren(esp. Izzy, Nick)...And, then there are the things I've wanted to do for myself, like doing mission work in South Africa, finishing the college I started soooooo long ago, being able to travel & see this wonderful country... Can any of this be done???
I don't like being "so far away" (4 hrs may as well be a thousand for the impact it has). Yet, we & I love the church in WV soooo very much & are so very useful here. Then, what of finances, etc?
I suppose I'm asking for everyone to pray that our Lord will resolve all these little worrys I have {they seem small by comparison} in a way that will bless His holy name with my life, whatever happens. I do know that without Him I can do nothing. Jesus is still my Lord, even when I can't make alot sense of things; even when I don't know the answers.
Praise God
