Okay, I am here....
It's been a long while, So let's catch up...How long has it been?

Since November, well, My hours were cut in the beginning of November (at a job I started in July) - words do not express how I have been feeling... and since then I have been in a funk, well maybe depressed/worried/freaking out/not sure of things, all of the above. Then 2 days after my 35th Birthday I was completely laid off...WTF? Upset at my employer, disappointed in myself I collected unemployment, tried to have a positive attitude everyday but I was NOT happy. What was I supposed to do, people are getting laid off left and right, Christmas was a few weeks away...how were we going to live...I turned to my husband and said things have to work out, I will not fail! He said give it to him...What? Give it to God, he will take care of you, but you have to be willing to have faith that he will help you with this. Well, being the person I am-I have to see immediate results or things are not happening. I tried to pick up on any little thing that would help me to see that I was not in this alone. Friends started coming around more, my family was supportive and creditors were willing to work with us on paying just the basics...I looked for a job day and night, tried to spend quality time with my son on my time off but I was completely distracted. I worked here and there trying to bring in as much money as possible, went on some interviews-and then we played the waiting game - tick tock tick tock...

We made it through the Holidays and then New Year's - New year New start right - You betcha...A week before Xmas I went on 3 interviews - All jobs were great and I was confused, what if they all offer me a position? Who do I choose? Do I go for money or happiness? What am I doing? Well, none of them called, so I started calling them...followed up and dropped in...

I GOT A JOB!!!!!!! I started the 3rd week of January and I could not be happier! I am a receptionist, scheduler, data entry, all of the above! I love it here. I have never been happier. We are getting back on track with our bills, I see the little light at the end of the tunnel instead of the road block and things are looking up - now if the rest of the world would get on board then things might get better...

God is good and he does know what is best for us all, we just have to give it to him....(thanks Babe for pulling me back to reality)

Thank you for all of you and you know who you are that helped me through this - I love you so much...
