My emotions have always sort of resembled a spin art picture. I tend to be colorful and all over the place, creating quite the picture as I spin out of control. Scott on the other hand has always been pretty monotone and sunny. He's kind of like the cool breeze on a hot day. When you feel like you are melting, he kind of sweeps by and offers you some refreshment.
Lately, it seems that things are changing.
I have realized just how much a man can identify himself by his job. Scott loved what he did. It wasn't just a job for him. He was doing something that mattered to him. Although I can not tell you exactly what he did, I often heard him say, he was doing it all for the war fighters, the guys in the field. That the men engaging in war were his priority. Scott served in the Air Force, he went to Iraq twice,and engaged in combat. I can only imagine how proud he must have been to know he was helping some of his friends, and men in the same position he once found himself in.
I can only imagine how frustrating it is for him to not only be unemployed right now, but to know he isn't doing what he can to help the "guys in the field".
I know it is taking a toll on him. He spends hours each day at the computer filling out applications, submitting his resume', and researching jobs. The only response he has gotten is a single rejection letter. I am surprised by the lack of response, good, bad, or indifferent.
I know God has the perfect job waiting for him. He is just waiting for the right moment to present it.
Until that moment comes, I only hope I can be that "cool breeze" that offers him some relief.
