Isaiah 22


11 You built a reservoir between the two walls
    for the water of the Old Pool,
but you did not look to the One who made it,
    or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.

I feel like I am this verse today.  I received a voluntary separation offer the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  I quickly did some math, engaged my investment guy to analyze and have thought about if we can financially make it if I retire now.  But honestly not once have I asked God what he has planned for me now.  I'm looking at the pool of money we have saved and making our own plans without asking the help of the one who gave it all to us.

So now I have a few days left to make a decision.  I am asking God, show me how you want to use me whether its where I'm at in Deere or maybe in some other way?  I really want to do what we wants me to do.

    again....very parallel lives. I got the "voluntary separation package" last november. That's a tough one. On one hand, its a chunk! On the other, I've spent my life working for this company, and I can't imagine not doing it anymore. And, financially, I couldn't make a full retirement work. I'm 10 years away from that. But, when something like that comes up, it really shows you were you are placing your faith, doesn't it? Like you said, you didn't even think to ask God for input.
    Its a hard thing to "have a lot," and to try to ensure you maintain it. I can see why the bible says that money CAN be the root of all evil.

    Good luck with the decision. If you need help to talk it through, let me know. I'm always here for ya!
