Job, are you out there?

Well, it’s been almost 5 months since I got laid off. I never imagined it would be like this. I have skills, brains, determination, loyalty…what else do I need? Is it what’s meant to be that I stay home longer with my wonderful boys…is it the declining economy…what is it? I ask myself this question daily and get disgusted from time to time. I’m a single mom now and need employment more than ever. “Hello God, are you there? It’s me, Tisha!” I can’t help but think this way every now and again. Everyone said, to make me feel better, which I understand, “Oh, there’s something better out there for you.” Is there?

I question myself over and over as to whether or not there is something else I’m supposed to be learning here. I need a sign from God that a job is coming soon. Of course, what we need isn’t always what happens, but I pray for God’s mercy. It’s scary being unemployed! I CAN’T get discouraged! My faith will go on…
