My newspaper laid me off yesterday

[EagerBeaver]

Sorry I haven't posted on here in awhile. I've been on vacation, came back to work two full days and now this...

Yesterday I was laid off at the Springfield News-Leader, the local newspaper here in Springfield, Missouri. I was a videographer and apparently Corporate felt no need to keep me around. (About 1400 others company-wide met the same fate yesterday across Gannett.)

Which is perfectly okay with me, because I'll be returning to my home state of Washington in early August. It's all part of the Lord's plan...I just need some details worked out. I can't wait to go back to WA, but I still have to look for a job and housing arrangements in the Vancouver area.

Please pray for my future and the new direction the Lord is taking my life. He blessed me with the job and yesterday He let me know the blessing was for a time, a time I needed to be in Springfield to fulfill His will in my life.

If you want to read more on it, I posted it on my blog: http://www.chris-brewer.com/2009/07/my- ... has-ended/

Thanks for reading and I appreciate the prayers in advance.
