Talking to Judy on the Phone.......This company is a non profit with 1,500 employees. The burden there is very extremely heavy.....Judy ask prayer for all, and that she is trusting in God. Judy always sees the glass half full as to half empty.
Please pray Remember people when two or more are gathered in his name....Amazing things happen. She is dealing herself it's just the cloud over the whole place and all of America. Judy is claiming this scripture... Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. She has a total peace in her heart about it. |

Oh Judy, I feel for you and I will think happy thoughts for you
 Ever been told not to think about something .. and that's ALLLLL you can think of? *sigh* Our company, a non-profit, is going to be doing major layoffs tomorrow. Yes. Exactly. You feel my pain. No way of knowing if my position or project is on the chopping block. As one Vice President put it, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth tomorrow ...  
No way does stressing about it help. But when you are supporting 3 kids and have 1 getting married in 4 weeks from Sunday .. no way you CAN'T think about it. I trust in God. He's always always always kept me and my children. I am holding onto His promises to me.  
But ya ........ there's this PINK ELEPHANT thingy goin on in my head .......

I feel for you and understand where your coming from with everything going on and so close to the Holidays and all.
The company I have worked for now 12 years has cut it's workforce in half in the last 2 years. And the owner just told me last week he was tired of fighting it all and was thinking about shutting it down as well. Not sure at this time what he is going to do. For he could sell out and still come out okay as far as the company goes. So right now I just go to work each day and hope it is not the last one. As far as letting it stress me out I just let that go and figure I will deal with that if and when the day comes. Until then I will pay everthing I can and save what I can just in case to hold me over for a bit just in case. Wishes you all the best with your situation as well.

(((((((Judy)))))))) Keep your chin up girl. You can't stop thinking about it, it's impossible. But, try to keep the worry to a minimum. My sister works for Chrysler and is going through the same thing. She's been told her job's on the line, it could go anywhere between now and New Year's, or maybe not at all. And the job market in Detroit is pretty well non-existent so she's doing the same thing you are. Hang in, it's got to get better
Oh ya .. the car industry is as squirrely as you can get right now ......... eeeeeeeek |

I's funny...you talking about the Pink Elephants and all. Okay, get ready, I am gonna be "serious" for a moment here.  Yeah...shocking eh?
Last year, I thought I was gonna lose my Granny. This woman is so special to me. A woman who raised five children, who drove a school bus for over twenty years, and while she did that, she cared about every kid that rode her bus. A woman who has loved the Lord all her life, and always trusts in him. Well, anyways, I went to see her and I was close to losing it. I knew things were getting bad, but she just put her hand on my, ever so lightly, and said something I won't forget. "Son...why are you down? I am the one who is sick and look at my face. I am a happy, content woman, and no matter what happens, God will either take me home or he will leave me here for HIS purpose." I laughed, cause then I felt foolish. She hugged me and told me to always remember what she just said. And I have. I learned to live my life and just deal with it as it comes. And that no matter what is happening, if I trust in God then things will work out. Judy, I don't have to tell you this though. You are one of the most positive people I know. Yes, times are grey right now for you. Things are up in the air. Life has thrown you for a curveball right now, and all you wanna do is get a hit. I'm praying for you girl.
What a great testimony about your grandma .. and thanks for seeing my Happy Place attitude. LOL I think sometimes I live toooo much in the Happy Place though. I need to grasp reality and just how much my fellow Americans are suffering too. It's not that I don't care or don't give to those who struggle, but I choose to live in the 1/2 full arena so sometimes I am unobservant .. I'm gettin better at that though.

My company has cut its workforce by 10,000 within the last five years. I knew some of those people. People with whom I have worked for as many as twenty years. I wish you well and hope that you retain your position. As difficult as it maybe, maintain a positive attitude because that can count for a lot. Besides, you sound as if your a survivor anyway. Good luck and don't fade to black. I am very MUCH a survivor and a conqueror as well. Yep very much. |

I'm very much holding onto the following words of Christ Himself:
25-26"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. 27-29"Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. 30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. 34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. Now THAT'S what I'M talkin bout
