After 25 years of dedicated employment, I, along with roughly three fourths of my associates, was informed that we were being released from our professional positions at the institute at which we worked. Prior to our release, there had been an accelerating amount of political turmoil both within and without our place of work, and I had become increasingly dissatisfied with deteriorating conditions that were stifling my ability to implement more creative and effective techniques to uphold a high standard in my work. Nevertheless, the announcement of our dismissals both surprised and disappointed me, as I could not see a better employment alternative at the time.
Shortly after the announcement of our release, I contacted a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me about my seemingly uncertain and unstable future.
