Well today is the big day. Today, for the first time in over 11 and a half years, my dad is unemployed! God has blessed him and flourished him wherever he has gone and wherever he has worked. Around 11 and a half years ago my dad made the big switch in his employment from working at Dell down in Texas, to working at a small little company in Illinois by the name of Precision Planting - owned and run by Gregg Sauder. Over the last 11 and a half years who he has worked for has shifted here and there but he has remained employed (kind of at the same company: he worked at Precision Planting, then Monsanto bought them out, then sold them - except when Monsanto went to sell Precision Planting, they kept my dad with them). Now that day has come again. Monsanto has treated my dad amazingly and have blessed him in so many ways. However, this past week my dad accepted a position at Yield 360 (another company in Illinois that was started and is run by Gregg Sauder). Yesterday was his last day at Monsanto, and he starts work at Yield 360 on Monday. With my dad living in Texas still, he will work remotely for 360 but will be up here in Illinois 5-10 days each month.
Dad, we are praying for you in this huge transition in life and we know that God will bless you in it as well.
I'm excited your dad will be in central Illinois more often.
