Today at work we got some interesting news out of the blue. Bucyrus is being bought by Caterpillar. All I can say is WOW. We have only been Bucyrus for almost 9 months and now we will be going through another acquisition with our number 1 competitor. Am I upset? Of course not! I am not upset because it should be a good thing because CAT doesn't offer a drill line and they just bought one. That means it shouldn't affect me. The only thing I feel was brought to light was that we cannot put trust in "man". We just had an "all hands meeting" not but like a week ago where questions were asked of the CEO about acquisitions and he said "Of course acquisitions of new companies will take place, but the large one like when Bucyrus bought Terex Mining might be a while, but we spent millions in purchases and renovation and we are not shy about spending millions more on expansion" Nothing at all was mentioned about a bid even being in. We "trusted" that we had that promise in Bucyrus... that promise of greatness (not that I think it won't happen now)... the whole point is, we can't put our trust in the world. We can only put our trust in Jesus Christ. If we put faith in the world, they will only "sell out" and I mean that figuratively and literally. But what God says... he will do! His word is the truth.
On a separate note I'll just say I was texting with a "friend" about some down times and stuff in life. Life is rough sometimes.... and to the point where all you want to do is just go to sleep and not wake up... or at least crawl under the covers and not come out for a while. I have been there! Life is stressful, Life is hard... BUT I have victory in Jesus and know that the battle has already been won. For me... hell has been defeated when I accepted Christ into my heart.
To anyone who might be having "trust" issues, or "life" issues... please read the verses below.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
