Paid With High Price; Day240; Grief NM

1Pe 1:18  knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers,
1Pe 1:19  but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

Yesterday was one of the heavy emotion day for me at work.  I lost a very close co-worker and what’s hard is I never saw it coming.   I thought he was doing well and secured in his job.  On the other hand, my other close friend kept his job.   The only bad thing is I am close to both guys and I think the reason one was kept is because the other was let go.  It’s complicated to explain but you get the point, I am just having a mixed emotion waking up this morning.  His departure from my workplace felt like a death in my family and even my team were so shocked why it has to be him.  I helped this guy get this job a few years ago.  I personally mentored this guy, groomed him, helped him in whatever ways.  He was not an ordinary co-worker of mine but a friend, a close friend.  These are the things I don’t understand in life.  Sometimes things happen to trigger a better event and I am praying and hoping that this event will lead into a better life for him.  Lord, I pray that you bless this guy the more.  I know that you allowed this thing to happen to him and you must have good reasons behind it.  Show to the world that you can turn a bad day into a victorious lifetime.  Show to him that even though he suffered today, that on the next day you will provide him with better opportunities. I asked this in Jesus name and I know you heard me.  Let there be peace in his mind and heart today. Let there be security and comfort that even though he is in the middle of the storm, you provide him with an invisible guidance to look for things to consider to provide for his family.  To all my prayer partners, please help me intercede.

Dream: I was walking in a group when my boss called me and said, “this will not take that much time, I need to show you something”. He opened a conference room filled with people with an empty blackboard and it was evident that the contents of the board was just erased. 20090819, 0530
