About two years ago, I was there with you! When you lose your job and your income, it is easy to be stressed. I was and I’m sure those of you who have lost jobs feel the same way. Some of you feel the burden of the next paycheck and you are worried to make it all work! When life is full of problems and you can’t see you way through it, it is easy to to be weighed down. You just want to give up!
In the middle of a depressed economy, when some of you are experiencing the agony of layoffs, having multiple jobs to make it, blended families, marital problems, dealing with family issues, and a culture at war with your children and our values…this question is one that can plague each one of us?
Are you frightened and feel unsecure because of the waves? Does it feel as though they stir up those things hidden in the depths of your soul and bring them to the surface?
Each day, you are given the opportunity to change. To walk through an open door which could ultimately change the circumstances that surround you. Choose today to live a life that is blessed.
