"The only thing permanent is change" I read that quote recently but can't remember who said it.
In her comment Sandy mentioned two friends experiencing unwanted changes in their lives.We all face changes not of our choosing. How do we get past the fear ,anger,blame to the place we can allow God to work in the circumstances.
On Job's terrible, awful, really bad day how did he respond?
----Then Job stood up and tore his robe in grief and fell down upon the ground before GOD. "I came naked from my Mother's wound and I shall have nothing when I die. The Lord gave me everything I had and they were His to take away. Blessed be the name of the Lord" Job1:20-21
WOW! Given that Job was informed in a matter of minutes that all he owned and his children whom he loved were gone how did he have that response. Could I? I don't think so. I'd be ranting and raving and blaming the world and God and whatever. I don't react well when my plans and expectations are messed with.I know how i am supposed to react but........
What about you ? How have you learned and grown from changes you did not ask for or want?

Karen, as Weyerhaeuser proposes termination of 30 - 50% of its corporate employees, I can only find strength in knowing that God has a plan for my life. Otherwise everyday would be miserable as we wait for the ax to fall.
mal..You are in a tough place. So uncertain. Can you imagine dealing with this situation without faith?
