Hard Times

Last Thursday, I received a frantic call from one of my friends.  She had just learned that she was going to be laid off the following day.  She has been such a great asset to the place where she was working, it was hard for me to believe that her time with them would end in this way. 

I hate to say it, but I think she’s going to have a very hard time finding a new job.  She’s very skilled, very well educated, and makes a decent salary.  In the past, she’d probably have no problem.  But now, things are very different.  The market is flooded with the same kind of people.

Right now, I have an open position in my department.  I have done very little advertising, but I’ve been flooded with applicants.  One person I’ve been speaking to will lose his job at the end of the month.  I feel so sorry for all these people who find themselves in this situation, and I want to interview everyone.  But I can’t.  There are simply too many.  And I don’t want to give them false hope.

This continues to be a time to pray.  I think praying to God will be the only thing that will get us out of this mess.

I'm passionate about helping people realize that God wants to make something new of them and bring about a permanent transformation in their lives: body, mind, and spirit.
