I trust him, but.....

I know God is great and I know he will has more in store for me than I can imagine, but what do I do about it? Here's the deal. I am laid off, for only thre weeks, this time. The lay off is not the problem. I am currently working for Navistar. Been there 13 years. It is a UAW shop. Our contract is also up and a lot of changes are going to take place. None of that bothers me either, most of the changes need to happen. The problem with the changes is the atmosphere in the plant is going to be terible. I will have to live with constant complaining and people trying to mess over the new system. That is if a contract is signed and we still have a job.
My dilemma is my trust in God. I know he is in control and i place my trust in Him, but what do I do in the mean time? Do i search for another job? Do I stay put and look at the next year as a mission field within my current place of work. Should I stay or should I go? (I love the Clash). OK, that was stupid. Seriously, when putting your trust in God, how much do you do to prepare for the answer? How much self do you add to the equation?
I don't know, at this point I am really unsure how to feel and how to act. I have never been through this before. Thank God Susie is working, that help tremendously. Maybe this is good for me, since everything has been laid out before me for years. A lot of things happen and then I get perspective. I have not been able to sympathize with others going through a lay off or job uncertainty. now I can. Who knows!! Pray for me. not that my job works out, pray that I develop an understanding of Gods will for my life, Gods will for those around me and that I know how much self to throw into this situation.
Thanks
