THE HUNGER GAMES HAVE STARTED AND MY NAME WAS CALLED AS TRIBUTE.
Yup. My name was on the list.
I am losing my job.
(Caveat: I am NOT losing my job due to lack of performance or anything...there are "overlapping positions" due to a merger).
I really am blessed to have had the job fall in my lap when Hubby lost his job last year. It did what we needed it to do. It helped our family stay on its feet. That is, IF family had feet...it would be on them. And not on its butt.
Of course, I have the best intentions to "keep my chin up" and trust in God but I'm sure I'll have some days where it'll be hard to keep the "great attitude". Especially when Hubby doesn't have enough jobs one month to cover all the bills or when we have to start giving stuff up and selling stuff to make ends meet. Then...I'll wish someone volunteered as tribute for me.
Seriously though, God is amazing. I know, for a fact, that He did not want me there. I know what it is he wants me to do. And He sent me a love song on the way home today just to remind me (I chose the one with lyrics so you could get it):
Now comes the real test. Do I just sing along or will I live it out?:
Anything I would give up for you
Everything I'd give it all away...
P.S. I'm a pretty awesome car-singer. People in the lane next to me agree.
Oh, and for those of you who were on the edge of your seats wondering...yes, I made my midnight deadline for my first essay. :) Pretty good essay, if I say so myself...and because I actually am an AUTISM EVANGELIST...oh yeah- I worked autism into my essay about psychological theories and our worldview. Hmmm, maybe I'll post my essay tomorrow in lieu of a blog.

You know, it hits us like a ton of bricks when we go through extreme life changes like this.
I'm so sorry.
However, like you, my family went through something very similar right after my twins were born and we just trusted in God and everything turned out to be ok.
