Inspiration Point

<p>After being laid off after many years of devoted service for the second time I knew that God had a plan and I turned it all over to him. This was a far cry from my reaction to the first layoff. I prayed a lot but was devastated worried constantly and my self-esteem was low. God still answered my prayers and I found another job in the same field the same week my severance pay ended. When I was laid off again after almost eight years I knew God was in control. Even though I was almost sixty and the unemployment level was at the highest I felt Gods peace. I now had the time to stop and smell the roses as they say. This collection of poems prayers and reflections came about from my desire to get closer to God and to try to really listen to what he has to say to me. They were inspired by places events people scripture reading and meditations. These were all inspiration points that God used to speak to me. In other words they were inspired by God. My hope is that in sharing my inspirations others will find their own inspiration points.</p>
