My Friends, Please do not take offense for this off subject post. I need a little help from my friends, so that is why I have reached out to you. I have received responses to my request and I have decided to share the request openly. I believe in the love of this community and the Allman Brothers Band Family has always been an important part of my life. I love you all... 🙂 My Friends, I have a prayer request... Many of you know of the season of circumstances and life situations I have been experiencing over the past four years. There is no need to overwhelm you with the current details, just know that in the relationship to a storm, I have been within a perfect financial storm of events that has completely wiped me out. As many of you also know, God has been shaping my heart in a most significant, profound, and beautiful way... I am humbled within the experience of losing everything. The evil one, in his crafty way, has diligently been working against me, however, I am aware of my consequences I must endure, and my faith continues to hold fast. I am continually in the Word, in prayer, and in the direction of knowing God's heart and mind as I seek the face of Jesus. In any event, this is my request... Recently, God has blessed me with an employment opportunity currently in orchestration, that would certainly begin to bring me out of my personal strife and despair. The company is the largest and leading company in the world within its industry. I have been recommended, and have interviewed for an employment position that not only would be a career change for me, but also presents a great opportunity for me in all aspects of my life. My interview proceedings have gone extremely well with the regional manager of the company, and he was prepared to hire me immediately pending a series of tests that I needed to pass prior to final consideration. I passed the tests, in fact, six of the seven categories tested, I tested in the high 90's, two of which were scores of 99. However, one of the categories raised concern. The tests yielded that I was a qualified candidate for the position, but if comes with concerns. The area of concern is the category that deals with the desire and willingness to do what ever it takes to close a sale and make the deal. I found this category of the testing to be confusing because I felt that the statements and questions were leading me into making decisions against my own integrity and personal morals. Trust me my friends, in my prior career, of over twenty years as a Commercial Film Producer, I was faced with many of those decisions, and I know what it is to sacrifice one's life for the wrong reasons, motivations and purpose. My work became my idol, I burned out, and God had finally called me away to reshape my heart. I have been informed by the regional manager that this does not mean that the company can't hire me, although it does mean that my employment needs to be approved by the national sales manager of the entire country. The national sales meeting of all the United States regional managers is taking place this week in Savannah, Georgia, and it is at this meeting that the national manager will determine the final decision on my hire. I am asking you my friends to pray for God's will to bless me with this opportunity of employment. Peace Billy
