JOB LOSS? GOD NEVER LETS GO

BY J. SCOTT MOSELEY

In today's volatile economy, many people worldwide struggle with fears about unemployment and limited resources. But I've found that no obstacle is too great for God, no matter how much we may fear that it is.

A couple of years ago, a lot was going on in my life. First, my mother-in-law moved in with us so that my wife and I could become her caregivers. Then, we found ourselves in the midst of a remodeling scam by a fraudulent contractor. As if that wasn't enough, I was laid off from my job as senior engineer with a government contractor. At the beginning of all this, my wife and I were so busy trying to just take care of all of the added tasks that I had little time to think about my unemployment situation. But very soon, anxiety, fear of the future, and disappointment set in, and it became a necessity for me to look for a way out.
