Well, I have been feeling the sting. I have never experienced this before. I truly feel that I gave my all, and did my very best in regards to former job. And I loved it! I understand the numbers and the logistics, but it just plain hurts that I lost my job! I have been battling satan and discouragement all week, trying to keep in mind who the Winner is. It seems as time passes, I become more angry and bitter. I suppose that's exactly how the enemy would have it, huh? Please pray for me, as I am continuing to struggle. I KNOW the Lord has plans for me, great plans for me, to give me hope and a future...I am just ready to find out what they are! Patience, right? It has never been my virtue. Maybe a new lesson to be learned...

I think it's amazing how calm your are being in the situation. I'm thrilled that the Lord is reassuring you with His word in this situation:) We're praying for you!!
Praying for you Carrie. My sister-in-law was in your same position a few months ago. She got layoff from her doctor's office (right before they finished their NEW house). It was a while before she found a job. It's not exactly what she was hoping for but in this economy it's safe to take what you get offered, and it's obviously God's will.
Hey Carrie! Just wanted you to know that I am praying for you. I have been down the path of bitterness myself. If I may offer some advise, BE HONEST WITH GOD about how you are feeling. Tell Him you are angry (maybe even admitting that you WANT to be angry right now.) That is confession. Confession ultimately leads to healing. I know from experience. And remember God's phone number: Jeremiah 33:3
"Call unto me and I will answer and show you great and mighty things that you do not know."
BTW: I agree with your comment - I'm glad we have all been able to connect to encourage and pray for one another. Love you!
Carrie, we will be happy to pray for you and I hope you have some good news soon!
I will pray for you to have peace, patience and understanding as you experience this and wait on the Lord. I have always found my heavenly Father to be faithful in every situation. I too have had trouble with patience and I am always grateful for what the Father has had in store for me all along. :) Take care and I hope you have a nice relaxing week!
They say Patience is a virtue, well honey if so, my virtue is lost out in space somewhere...God has and is in the process of using something to test my patience as well and boy has it been a trial!! I will continue to pray for you and your job situation. Keep your eyes and ears open, the Lord spoke to me so strong about my "patience" situation Sunday night. It started at church and ended with a sermon by T.D. Jakes on Tivo!! I was so filled I could do nothing but cry. God will carry you. Trust, Faith = hard to do, yes! worth it = yes! I will be remembering you! Love you girl!!

Carrie, Karen was right when she said to be honest with God and tell him how you are feeling. That is exactly what He wants you to do. He knows how you are feeling, but He wants you to give it all to him and then healing will certainly take place. Sounds like to me you are giving it to Him, go you are on the road to recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers. If you get lonely while Jason is gone---come see me.
You are in my prayers through this! I know what it's like to lose your job - and practically lose everything else because of it. I read Karen's comment and I think what she says is true. As long as you are honest with God, talking to Him about how you feel and lifting yourself and others up to Him, I know good things will come! :) Keep looking up!
I love you Carrie and all things work out for the best.If I had not lost my job, I wouldn't have met my kindred spirit (YOU)!I know how hurt you are and your friends are right tell God b/c he already knows your heart, and he will be the one who brings peace and joy back into your life. I'm praying for you!!! It was so good seeing you the other night.We need to do lunch, it has been way to long!Miss you!
