Think Slim
I have been really going through some stuff at work.
I've been there for a few years, despite being a contracted employee (I work at the state). In those three years, I have watched coworkers come and go. Just recently two of my good friends were told that at the end of the month, they would be let go.
I project that I just worked on for the state, which had absolutely nothing to do with my contract, just went live on Wed. I was supposed to be invited to the unveiling, but wasn't. Everyone kept running over to tell me how "impressed everyone was with my work...wondered where I was." Now mind you, these are people, who did not have ANYTHING to do with the project. They were invited, yet I wasn't. I was really hurt, but prayed.
In fact, I have been trying to pray for several months, because the job that I used to LOVE and enjoy going to, has turned into a den of despair. I go there every day and put forth less effort, because I am so disgusted by things.
At any rate, there was a huge meeting yesterday, that revealed that almost everyone from my company will be terminated, effective July 1st
I am one of only three people, who were requested to stay on for at least another year. 
I am crying tears of joy, because despite the fact that I absolutely loathe most of the managers, I feel blessed that during this time of economic lows, I'm STILL employed, should I choose to stay on.
DH and I have been just trying to hold on for a year, to decide whether or not we want to set roots here, or relocate. We just discussed me staying at home with my son, but I thought that it would be better for me to continue working for at least a year and THEN decide.
I just wanted to share that I have been distraught for several months now...it may have even showed in some of my posts. I just have not been my usual self. Jesus heard my prayers; He did not respond when I expected, but He heard me. In the last hour, HE stepped right in and showed Himself and I cannot help, but cry, because I have so many friends who will be out of work, yet I continue to remain employed. This really is a bitter-sweet blessing. I'm happy for me, but very sad and concerned for my coworkers, my friends.
