Struggling hard right now. Just got laid off. My marriage has been unhappy for years. Multiple big ticket repairs needed at the house now. Just really not doing well.

I also got laid off a few months ago— still got a mortgage to pay, and life does not wait, hah.

It’s okay to be angry and feel defeated. Get it all out. God can handle our emotions! But don’t stay there. Listen to the narrative that you are speaking over your life. If you fill that space with thoughts of loss, helplessness and inadequacy, that will become your reality and truth.

My circumstances might not change but I choose to change my perspective. And remember that we can overcome because Jesus overcame the world and won the war first.

Hang in there, you are not alone :)

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
