Well they say when it rains, it pours, so I will take today as a turning point , things could get worse or I can hope for a nice miracle. I will go for option b and just do the non action Lao zi thing and be calm, until someone comes along and down rates me again just to make things even better. I love Mylot, it's like writing a diary lol don't you think? I am going to make myself a cup of tea because that red nine is giving me sore eyes lol, and I will be back in a jiffy. I wrote to hubby and told him just to chill and not be upset and to take a good rest, we will survive, as long as our hearts are together. I think I have decided to pray hard and fast today lol. O.K I am going for the big fat juicy one now. Please God can you give me the Mandate of Heaven please, later on you can tell me what to do with it, but I want to play and experiment a bit with it before things get more serious. AMEN.

I am so sorry that you are still having bad luck. I used to have those days alot and it used to drive me totally crazy, trying to deal with everything happening to me all at one time. I hope a nice miracle happens for you and your husband. I hope he gets another job and it is better than the one he had before. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, even though we qaestion whay we have to go through such things. I do believe that your prayer will be answered soon. We all go through rough times but I will also pray that everything will get better for you both soon. I hope God answers your prayers and your day will be filled with happiness. Amen.

I totally understand that. I know it sure is hard to make it when you strike it out on your own. It is a dog eat dog world and it is hard for some of us to be successful no matter how hard we try. I hope the both of you can be together soon. Life is too short to spend time apart from one another. I hope God blesses you and brings him to you.

Yeah that is why I want to bring him here, because out there it is not stable for him, especially at his age. God bless you too.

just like you, i am also in a difficult situation. just wanted to share some words that have made me feel better and i hope these would have a positive impact on you too. "It is not the critic who counts nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, as the word, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. ---- Theodore Roosevelt We will always encounter challenges that make us feel less than we really are. What matters is that we can pick ourselves up. The darkest hour is the best time to see the stars. It is when life seems most harsh and painful that the most wonderful blessings arrive. Obstacles are there for success because, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, each endurance, your ability and your confidence, and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better... or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward. ---anonymous

I am sorry to hear about your husband losing his job to a cheaper worker as it seems that is going to happen to a lot of other people as well in this country. Companies are trying to reduce costs and save money by letting go of the higher paid salaries and going after cheaper workers. I hope that he is not too upset and hope that he can find a good and better paying job. I hope that you are okay and that the Lord answers all your prayers. Hopefully things will get better soon for you and your husband.

Lord, I just pray for this family. I know it wasn't too long ago that my family was going through a time without a job or money coming in. I know that You provided a wonderful new job making more money and less stress. Thank You Lord for all that You will do for this family, In Jesus name I pray, AMen

I have just found this post--what will you guys do? I know, it is not a time for panic, but for faith and prayers. You know the saying, "You get what you pay for"--I wish that on the people who let your hubby go for someone cheaper. I hope they get thoroughly "cheaped".

I'm sorry your husband lost his job, I have been where he is, losing my job so they could pay someone else cheaper wages. It's hard, but there is probably something better for him out there. I love your attitude, and I gave you a positive rating just because you are being so positive.

Oops sorru to hear that your hubby lost his job to a cheaper worker.It's also common here in our country that some employees were laid off and they are replaced by new and contractual employees that obviously demanded a very low salary.
