Finally Writing Again
For some time now I have wanted to update my journal, I've just been too lazy to do so. I guess a little bit of depression has set since I lost my job. Yup, I'm unemployed and jobs like my old one are scarce. Unemployment income is looking good about now and I'm finally getting a more positive outlook on the entire situation. I figure God has a plan that includes everything that happens in my life and losing my job was completely out of my control. God must have intended for me to be here right now with the circumstances I've gone through to get here, so he could use me to do something. What that something is I haven't fully figured out, but for now just trying to live my life minute by minute for Him is the best thing I can do.
Thankfully I have a group of friends and family that really support and love me. Anytime Kirstin and I seem to go through something rough they are always right there to encourage us. I love everyone in my life so much and I'm so thankful for them. Those special people in each of our lives can often go unappreciated amidst the hustle and bustle of life, but we really need to recognize them more for the valuable contribution are. True friends are hard to find and even harder to stay close to throughout life. I have been fortunate to have several who I know truly care about me.
As for the family, we are doing okay. We had a little money saved up for this type of situation, but it won't last as long as we'd like. My main concern really is continuing to provide for my family. I'm so blessed and even though somethings that were once blessing are gone from my life, there is still so much for me to be joyful about. God has blessed me quite abundantly and the bottom line is that everything was His to begin with. I'm just a steward who has been given the job of taking care of God's things. When God decides to take one of those things back I have no reason to get angry about it. I should thank Him for the time he let me have with them. With my job at Capital One, well I had my ups and downs. Sometimes I did great and other times I had difficulty keeping up with others in my department. With all the competition I fell behind somewhere and that's how I ended up without a job. My time was up and I'm thankful for the three years I had there. I learned a lot about life, business, and what I don't want to do ever again.
Just remember to be thankful for everything you have in your life, even if you lose it.
