All Good Things Must Come To An End

Wow, so my last post was about how excited I was for my new job (which I have absolutely loved, by the way) but sadly this post is about the opposite. I found out last week that due to the struggling economy, R[E]D is shutting down it's office and as of this up-coming Friday all of us are getting laid off. That totally sucks. I was so shocked when I found out. I didn't even get to work there long enough for my benefits to kick in!

I don't think anyone expects that at their first real job out of college. I mean, who would ever think that within a month of starting their job they would be laid off? I've decided that maybe since I'm planning on being a "stay at home mom" later on in my life that all of these experiences are being crammed into a short period of time, just to make sure I don't miss out on anything. How kind. So I don't know what I am going to do, but I have got to find a job fast. Not just for the money but because if I have that much time on my hands I will go nuts!

But don't worry. Even though this really bad thing is happening, I am in good spirits. I have faith that Heavenly Father will bless me and things will work out. I know He has something amazing prepared for me, I just have to have faith in His timetable because sometimes I grow impatient waiting. In the end, everything always works out. It always has. And I have faith that it always will.

As my friend told me, "Liz, if you were a gambling person I'd say hold onto your cards because somehow you always come out the winner." Thanks :) Don't you just love friends like that? Yep. He's pretty wonderful and I appreciate the vote of confidence.

Dang Liz, I'm sorry to hear that. Well. . . I don't know what to tell you except good luck finding a new job! Glad to hear you're in good spirits. Like my grandma says, "Just keep smilin'!"
