I get companies all the time looking for bright and witty writers to advocate for their company. In fact we have had some of our bloggers go on to be communication specialists. Let me know. Jim Rich,

Coincidentally, my husband, a system administrator, has been unemployed for 19 months. Although I have a PhD and a published book, I am also apparently unemployable in any meaningful sense, having raised children for 12 years.

But I am writing not to scare you, but to encourage you. In all this time, God has never left us nor forsaken us. We have had moments of doubt, and scaled back our expenses a great deal. But the hand of God has moved mightily, whether through the often-surprise generosity of our church family, or the generous support of our earthly family, or totally unexpected favor from agencies, utilities, tax collectors, and others in position to make bad things get better.

The Lord will be with you, as long as you are with Him. No matter what it looks like, no matter where it goes, if you are trusting in Him, you are in the right place.

When all this started I determined I would not leave my husband, commit suicide, or give up on God. So far, I have neither done any of those things, nor regretted the decision to stand.

Let not your heart be troubled. He is sovereign, and He has a plan. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t better than anything we CAN see — or ask or imagine.

Bless you for blessing my Internet time this morning,

—Kerry Jacoby, in Lafayette, IN

I pray that when you are feeling low you lean on Him even more and let Him bear your burden. I know that when I have been "between jobs" (more than I care to admit) the Lord has supplied to me beyond my needs. When I saw Tyndale listed I also thought of Thomas Nelson.

They're looking for a Sr. Java developer, but I don't know if that's your cup of beans. Praise God for this particular journey you are going through!
