Hard Times

I am not sure about you, but I feel like hard times are upon us again.  I have worked pretty much full time as a consultant for the past 8 years, but for the past 6 months I have been without work.  I normally contract myself through a few different firms, but for some reason there just does not seem to be any jobs.

My last project ended at the end of April and I was supposed to start the new project in June, then July, then August, then October, and now it has been put on hold.  My gut is telling me that this project will start in January of 2018 if it starts at all.  Am I concerned, yes.

So who do I blame? Do I blame God or Satan?  How about I blame myself.  I knew after the first delay that this was probably not going to happen in the near future. This could have been insight from God, I am not sure, but I knew something was up.  I should have taken this time to get my resume/CV in order, search for a new job, reach out to those that I do know to see if there is anything out there, and even try to make new contacts (I am not good at this and never have been).

The question is what should I do from this point forward since I cannot go back and change the past?  Well I could just sit here an do nothing expecting God to just drop something in my lap or I could do what I need to do, pray to God and trust him to help. What would you do?
