Do you ever get "worn out" by events that take place during a given week or day?? That's where I am at the moment. Most of today's events are family-related.
My parents are worried about the future of my dad's job. He works for a well-known place in the area. The company has started making cuts. He (dad) says that they were going to be doing a re-organization of stuff even before all of the bad news in the economy. If the cuts they are doing now do not do whatever they intend, they move on cutting other people according to how long they have been there as well as their position I guess. Many of his c0-worker friends will have their last day on the 19th of the month. It is saddening to hear and see this happening everywhere--the holidays don't make it easier.
Adding to the job questionability are issues with another family member which I won't discuss, but needs prayer. It doesn't have anything to do with us, but it presents a strain on my parents. I'm going to do the only thing I know...and that is pray.
I need to clean and get ready for the Christmas party, but at this moment, I'd rather take a snooze--to clear my head. Sorry, I usually don't try to focus my blog on being down and BLEH...but this is how I feel right now. Ending on a positive note...I am thankful for God's blessings large and small and His provision.

I am so sorry for the discouragement! I know how things can weigh heavy at times!
You and I need to go out for Starbucks coffee or their yummy hot chocolate. Maybe you can get away from work for an hour tomorrow morning. Pick up the hot chocolate from SB and come by! Please ...............
it stinks, doesn't it? i don't have wise words or even encouraging ones...you know where we are with being laid off and the holidays. what i do know is this: God is good, and every good and perfect gift comes from Him. i know he is faithful, trust-worthy, perfect, and never late. there is nothing wrong with being authentic in your feelings. friends get it, and God's not shocked by it. he gave you the compassionate heart towards others who are struggling. no need to appologize for THAT ever! it's also part of what makes you a great mommy and example for your girls. hope you rest well and refreshed in a new day!
