I feel like this week has been a wind tossed sea for me. On Thursday, the client that I exclusively work for at my employment decided they needed to cut costs and therefore would no longer need our services after July 1. With the economy the way it is, my employer promptly let me know that they could not promise me a job once I had finished my work with this client (the owner of the company later emailed me and let me know there was some work that I could do, but I'm not exactly sure it is my cup of tea). I don't cry much, but that day I did.Handling uncertainty is not my strong suit. "What ifs" always clutter my mind. When I started with my current employer I told myself it was not going to be longer than a year. It was not my dream job my any stretch of the imagination. As I've done different duties in the company, I actually like where I am and I especially love working from home. What if this "new" position the president of the company has in mind for me is not a great fit for me? What if I'm just taking it because I feel grateful that they are trying to keep me employed? What if I get a new job elsewhere and have to actually leave the house every day? What if there is not any jobs out there for me to have? What if I don't interview well? And the list of "what ifs" goes on and on.
Deep down, I know everything is going to be fine and it will all work out. I know that sometimes I have to be pushed and prodded to make changes-maybe this is my big push. I'm extremely blessed in so many ways and am extremely thankful. I know there is a patch of smooth water out there that will ultimately make my sailing easier. And I'm trying real hard to keep the "What ifs" out of my mind.

Ippy! We have been there and it is so scary, but things always work out for the best. We lost our jobs last year and now we are in a much better place. Change and new things are hard, but we grow and become better. I wish you the best and know things will work out! You will be in our prayers! Loves!
Jen, Sorry to hear things aren't going quite as well as you might hope. But just like everything always does, this too will work itself out. I hope you are able to find some peace of mind in enjoying the journal this will pan out to be. Best of luck!
