#christmas

Even though I was layoffed and have been unemployed for over six months; this has been one of the best Christmases ever! Thanks be to God and to all the kind hearted Christans who have been a blessing to me and my family! They were able to show us the kind of Love that could of only come from Jesus Christ! That is what Christmas is all about: The Love of Jesus. ☺ Can I get an amen?!

During the Christmas season a lot is going on around us and in our lives. Some of you are still waiting on that phone call, that background check, offer letter or just still waiting. I tell you I am a true living witness that God will come through for each and everyone of you. I was so broken by life that I did not think I could be fixed. How do you get over the fact that your fiancé is now dating your sister? How do you bounce back after being laid off twice in a year, and still find courage to go out and look for another job? I had to drag myself out of bed because I was so humiliated and so angry that nothing was going my way. I could not get a job in a pie shop. Now, I had no criminal background. I didn't know what to do. When you start losing everything it rains so hard it starts to pour down . I was drowning in past due bills that I had no way to save myself. My credit score was 434. Who do you turn to? How do you pick yourself up? No job, no fiancé, no family and no one to talk to. Well, I realized Jesus was my friend. I realized that if I draw hear to my Lord he will heal my soul. I went to him one night and I cried out to him and told him my story. The next few weeks was a miracle. I got three job offers and I wanted to take them all. I printed a copy of my credit report and started calling all of my creditors to make payment arrangements. People from my church all started helping me slowly get back on my feet. They helped me move into my new home after I was evicted. My church prayed for me when I didn't think anyone cared. I started to get stronger and feel inspired by the things that had happened. God, picked me up and he carried me across all of the trials and tribulations in my life. He held me so tight that I cried out to him so loud!!!! He never let me go!!!! He kept my enemies so far away I felt like flying!!! Christmas is a time for all miracles to happen to each and everyone of you. If you can believe that you deserve all the good things that our father in heaven has promised than you deserve to here this. Just get down on your knees and pray. Pray and ask God to help you and he will. Pray and ask God to give you strength and he will. I am a true witness that God is not dead but he is alive and real!!!!! Psalm 34:17 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.

Psalms 50:15 …call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near.

I had been unders doctors care until the end of November, due to an auto accident I was involved. I am ready to get to work. I been looking and its overwhelming. I updated my resume, I been in the mortgage field like 20 years. I am a quick learner and hard worker. I am willing to learn something new if you are willing to train me. I like helping people. I am trying to stay positive and have faith that I will find something soon. What's getting me is Christmas is just around the corner and I have not bought nothing, especially for my 9 year old son!!! If anybody can help or direct me I sure would appreciate it. Bless you!!

Hello All, I want to share this with you, I live in the DMV and was concerned with the situations out of my control with the closing of the Federal government, lost wages and no time off, well, it all worked out, see, I have never worked on Christmas Eve, because I gave birth to a son 20 years ago who shares this birthday. I began to wonder how was I going to handle this, contemplating, crying, worrying, with no time off, limited funds, lost wages, well, I began to see the positive in this situation and it all worked out, the government is closed on the 24th and I'm happy, I'll have time to cook, enjoy, relax and enjoy the time off. I just took another view and saw that its all good and I am happy.

Hi, I am new here. Happy holiday for all!

Merry Christmas This is certainly a time of the year to where you can get down on yourself . Sometimes for some people. During this season extra pressure you maybe not employed maybe can't fined a job everything in the world is not going good for you this time of year will kind of make you more depressed than you normally would be. it's just something that kind of runs with this season it doesn't have to be that way but for a lot of people it is. this little notation is for the people who thinks that there's sky is getting cloudy. When it is the cloudiest always remember to say your prayers. the good Lord has everything figured out and he'll put you where he wants you .just be tough and hang in there and God bless all of you Merry Christmas Jesus will smile on you if you always put him first.
