Help I am getting laid off!

This is not the greatest news one can get in a day but some of us have to deal with it. So what do we do when we get the dreaded pink slip? First we can understand a little panic, but get it under control as quick as you can. Hey maybe God wants to do something different in your life and, if you are like me, it takes a big jolt to get me there. I like the saying about one set of footprints in the sand and thats where Jesus was carrying me. The same is true for me, but mine has claw marks sometimes where He has to drag me to get me there. One thing to do is get a plan of action, cut all of your unnecessary expenses, eating out, gym membership,entertainment, the nails, every weekend golf etc. Remember its not permenant you will survive until you get back on your feet. Don't cancel insurances, you will still need them, make them the last things to go only if you have to. Get a quick job of some sort, you may have to swallow your pride but it will help meet your basics, food clothing, shelter transportation and untilities. Don't vary your schedule, the 40 hours you were working take this time to find other employment. Update your resume be strategic for the different jobs you apply for be proactive in the job search. Exercise, walk, run do some pushups, it keeps you fresh and helps keep you from getting depressed. Give some time at a charity or help a neighbor, it gets your mind off of your self and what you are going through. Execute your plan and remember live in the day that you have, if you are anxious you are living in the future, if your depressed you are living in the past. Meet the days challenges and plan for tomorrow. Most important pray! God always takes care of His children! Dont just sit around waiting for something to happen be proactive and get some action going.
