It just gets you right there
I'm so sad today to hear about more layoffs across America. It's easy to push that stuff to the back of your mind when it doesn't directly affect you or those you love, but I've been thinking about all those people without jobs. I may be joining their ranks. My school district is facing great financial difficulty, and I'm feeling like I will most likely get the axe. That's putting it too strongly...I will not likely be renewed for next year. I have mixed feelings. I don't want to go to work full time--I don't think Scott, Colin, or I could survive. I'm just not organized enough to do it all. I like being able to work part time, and I don't know if I'll enjoy not working at all. Of course there is the financial fear that accompanies this possibility as well. It is hard to trust God in times like these amidst such uncertainty, but there is little else to do.

my memory verse for this week: "Be anxious about nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Phil. 4:6
It has been a good reminder to me this week. Praying for you!
Dena, Phil. 4:6 is my life verse!
I don't know what to say Gina! I will pray every thing will work out. I also do not know how women who work full-time do it; I admire them so much. It is nice that if you had to work full-time you could though. I always think about that too when I think about what-ifs.
*hugs*
I know what you mean. Scary uh? My husband got laid off just before Christmas, we had to cancell our trip to Costa Rica and many other plans. Thank God he started working again this year. Can't believe he found a company..more $ and better people. Hope you keep your job
