March 14th the company I worked for did a conference call with me and my coworkers in the managed chat department. They let us know that they were letting us go(60 employees). It was a hard day. They had mentioned a severance package that would go through may 13th. With all the details and everything I knew things would be ok. over the last 2 months we got a few things paid off. So last Friday was my official termination date(though the last day I actually I worked was March 31st). But just little things I have seen happen has been little blessings, tender mercies.
We got the suburban paid off, a couple credit cards paid off, and our renter's insurance paid(through November as it starts over in December). It frees up about 400 bucks. I'm currently on unemployment which covers about 80% of the rest of what I normally would bring in in a month. But I found a couple classes through groupon(a "Write Your Own Story" and "Acounting, Tax Preparation, and Microsoft Excel" class) for five bucks each(normally 400 a piece). Then Mike had mentioned how we are using a blanket as a "black out" curtain on one of our windows to a friend/co-worker....We were able to get some long black out curtains. I just finish putting the curtains on 4 of 5 windows(waiting for one more rod to be shipped to us). I have noticed a small difference already. That should help with electricity bills during the summer.
I'm grateful for the blessings and the tender mercies of the Lord. He is truly mindful of us and our situations. I truly believe that when we do all that we can do, he helps fill in the rest. When you pay tithing, it truly is like you have extra money. I'm grateful He allows me to be tested and to excersice my faith so that it may continue to grow.
