Did i see it coming, not at all, the day that was supposed to be my last one in the office.........Was I worried? But of course, but not for long, for i realized that i was not the first one, nor the last one to be part of those being laid off.
It was my first time to be sent home, in my entire working career and being told that i can no longer be able to work, all because the finances were not available to pay me and the others that were let go.
At times the managers have to ,make tough decisions on who should stay or go. At times we wished it was not us, but when the axe falls on you then you realize that the time has come.
I am not discouraged that i was among those that were asked to go home, I have a family to take care off and being laid off was the least of my expectations. But i have over the last few days, confirmed and knew it at the time i was called in the for last minute notice, that it was but a season for me. I had been employed for a certain duration and this was already destined for me, i needed to be the one to be there, in order to be laid off. I would have cried, but did not, would have preferred to be angry and ask why me, but it would not have made any difference.
Over the last few days, i have come to realize, that there are others like me in the same boat as myself and thus the reason to start this network. I want to encourage others in the same boat as that this is not the end, neither the beginning of the end. But a chance to be able to know that God's plans have to be fulfilled. Some my not want to believe this, but as for me and my faith, i have come to give thanks everyday, for I have not slept hungry or lacked sleep since. I have had such peace of mind, knowing that tomorrow will be better than today, because of whom i serve. Does one have to worry about what to eat, drink, or wear, when your Father is the King? I don't think so.
