*bleary eyed*

If you are a praying person I'd appreciate it if you'd send up a few for my family. After my husband busted his butt working without weekends since Thanksgiving. After increasing the profits and becoming the 4th highest in the company. They decided it was time to let him go. We didn't see it coming. We were blind sided. Everything was going so well at his place.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I'm trying to arm myself with knowledge it usually helps me. It's a very scary feeling to know this is happening after we jumped through all their hoops and moved across country. We are stranded here. Alone. Our family and comfort is miles away. My husband on the other hand is wrapping himself in his faith. He is upbeat and sure there is something better waiting for us. I'm just not there yet. I'm still combing through the details of whats to come. I'm still terrified.

To show you the amazing man my husband is....They told him on Saturday night he should start looking for a new job. He came home and started looking but he still got up and went to work today. He found out they are replacing him this week. He is still getting the job done there KNOWING they are cutting him loose. I can't tell you how much that man amazes me. He's a man of honor.

I know how much he has done for his company, all the hours he has worked....Why in the world would they replace him when he has done so much and improved the profits? Unbelievable! He is staying strong for his family...Show him support and help him keep his faith up....I'm here praying for you....Good luck my dear friend.

I am rejoicing that God has already answered one prayer. CCB is getting out of a place that has drained and squeezed him for all he is worth. Now you all are on the way to bigger and better things. You're always in my prayers.

I'm very sorry to hear about this OGO, and I will say a prayer for your family. I have no doubts that CCB will find a new job soon. He sounds to be an extremely hard working guy and dedicates himself to every aspect of his life.

Stay strong, OGO!

just saw this. I have a feeling this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise, I know it's what happened to me when something similar happened.

He has he right attitude, one that's impossible to keep down.

Best to your family.
