Driving The Struggle Bus

Blogosphere,

I was laid off after 8 years of employment. The entire facility was closed, and all the jobs moved to S. TX and Mexico. I've been trying to get a new operations position for 4 months, but I've failed. I won't bore you with details, but "I'm not a good fit for their culture" is some feedback I've gotten. Ok, I don't cuss missed 4 days in 8 years, and score in the upper 10% for employee satisfaction. How can no organization want my leadership? My pride and self esteem have been crushed. I'm literally hanging by a thread, but I keep trying. My wife is 33 years has been really supportive, but lately she's been more critical. She said something at church today that destroyed my spirits. She was only joking, but sometimes I wonder. I can't look at her, and I'm watching opening Sunday in the garage, so I wouldn't be around her. I've got to release this negative feelings, so there's no long term impact. I probably have some mental/ psychological  issue, but I don't care. Today I feel like an utter failure, but there's always hope for tomorrow.  Christ is my only hope, and He will guide me. He will eventually provide me an opportunity, so I will wait. Today wasn't a good day, but I'll continue to move forward.
