It was a pretty solemn day for our school district. I am saddened that many of my coworkers were pink slipped today.
Jeremiah 29:11 - 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, ' plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'
I don't understand why our district is stuck in this situation, why our state is in the circumstance they are in. I don't understand why this has to happen to wonderful teachers and friends, and their families.
I did understand though that God has used this to humble myself. I don't always act as grateful as I could with my job. Today, I was really brought to my knees and reminded how undeserving I am. I have not gotten a pink slip yet. I may or may not get one. But for once, I can truly say I am thankful and grateful for the job that as allowed us to provide for our family. It has allowed either Tim or I to be home with the kids, and grandparents when our schedules clash. It allows us to pay our bills and live comfortably. It's a job that hasn't left us lacking in anyway, except through our own irresponsibility.
Please pray for our school district, and the people who have been laid off and their families.
