Now I'm really starting to feel the recession.
We just had a meeting with our Boss and from what I have seen
in the look of her face, she is so disappointed.
She feels bad about the sales dropping so fast,
the performance of our staffs,etc.
With all these emotions mixed with the recession blues,
there is a possibility that the company will cut down
10% of our salary.
Ooouuuch!
Yes!
I heard it right!If the sales will remain at its lowest peak come this April,
She has no choice but to do it.
I understand my boss and my company's dilemma.
It's inevitable.
Of course, I am deeply shaken from what I heard.
Hoooh boy!
Is this the end of my career?
Or is it time to hunt for a new job?Anywhere could be better.
Really, a lot of things to explore on this crazy moment.lolx.
And yes, you can do this and that but there will always be
an equal reaction to it.
Some may give you good results.
Some may let you end up as a loser...wrapping your entire being
with great disappointments,frustrations and pains.
Uncertainties..
Yes, the world has tons of it.
It exist in your mind.
In your relationships, career and future.
But
as my mind speaks, my heart hears.
In situations like these.
When you get beaten with stress and confusions,
there will be a lot of options to think about.
I had attempts of going through every angle of it.
only to disturb my soul.
I don't like it. . .
I feel it's not part of me.
For far from above it all,
I want PEACE.... INNER PEACE.
Bosses words, sometimes can break your heart,
castigate you with fear and can give you a lot of lying symptoms.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes." Ephesians 6:10-11
It happens. And it won't stop.
How do I deal with it?
Simply, I go back to God's words instead.
For God's words are true and powerful than anyone else.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!" Psalm 23
God said He is my Provider.
So be it.
He is my Provider!
God said He is my refuge.
So be it.
He is my refuge!
Jesus said:
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle
and humble in heart and you will find REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:29-30
I am so glad in times like these,
I have the power of God's Words as a weapon.
Then I speak in tongues.
The next moment...
My world stands still..inspite of my current situation shaking me.
I am at peace.
It's just amazing how He keeps me in His wings.
I don't know how He is doing it but I am sure it's not me.
"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
They say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust." PSALM 91:1-2
In this crazy, mad, fallen world, you don't need a hero. You only need Jesus!!

Good that you are leaning on our Wonderful God for everything, even in times of depression or recession. He gives us amazing peace doesn't He. What an awesome God.
ReplyDeleteDinah, been thru this kind of times before,times of recession, times of poverty, times of little, but somehow, with Him being the Captain of my ship, we sail thru these times comfortably. He will never fail us when we put our trust in Him.
We're here in europe hearing alot about pinching times, but so far, I am not feeling the pinch. Maybe because I am used to being frugal in my daily living. For years I have trimmed my own hair. About 2 yrs ago I started cutting husband's hair and I should say he gets a better hair cut than the hairdresser.
Last year, thanks to our Lord inspiring us, we sold our station wagon which was running 6 km on one litre to a smaller car that was running 30 km on 1 litre. We even pay so much less for the tax. Really, I praise God that He inspired us to sell that car even before the recession started.
We're making very slight adjustments to our lifestyle to economise but the changes are not much.
Most important of all, is my feelings of trust towards Him, I know that just like how He had seen us thru the bad times of yesteryears, He will see us thru the bad times of now too.
Me and my household, we choose to trust in the Lord, the alpha and omega, the first and last, the Almighty. All praises to Him and Him alone.
We're in Good Hands sister.
Let's sing songs of praises unto His mighty Name!
Big hugs to you and still more kisses to you. No recession in that! *smile* .... Love you Dinah!
Amen to that Sandra. I am so glad He is keeping us with Him on this shaking times.
ReplyDeleteI feel every word when you said you cannot feel an inch of that "pinch"
inspite of everything.
On my side, I hear everyone is almost affected by it. I can see the stress.
but could not feel it.
sometimes, I even feel so weird because I can sense that everyone is losing their control and I am just here not caring about that "recession" blues at all. It's not me.I know it's not me.
It's great when you just leave it all up to Him and let Him do His job. This is what I have always wanted to be and to have.
And no. I am not going back to my old, stressful, worry-wart self again. I reject tension or stress that's coming my way in the name of Jesus!
I will forever claim His PEACE that He left us.
PEACE that not even losing my job, recession or anything that can rock it.
Good day Sandra.
Let's stay on His wings forever.
That is our only refuge.:)
Hugs*from Singapore!
Hi Din,
ReplyDeleteohh btw, when I use the word depression or recession, I mean economic depression. I googled for the exact meaning .....
# Economics.
1. A period of drastic decline in a national or international economy, characterized by decreasing business activity, falling prices, and unemployment.
2. Depression The worldwide economic depression from the late 1920s through the 1930s. In the United States, it began with the stock market crash in October, 1929.
But Dinah, another thing, yr boss said 10 percent reduction in salary right, you're not loosing yr job right?
Years ago we had a similar thing happening and we had stagnant salaries and no bonuses, but later when the economy came back to normal we did get our bonuses. I believe this times of depression is temporary. Anyway, just like the seven years of plenty and 7 years of little, we need to save during the 7 years of plenty. Remember the Joseph story in the old Testament.
Take care,
