Laid Off - Day 2

I woke up this morning and after I debrief my weird dream and figured it out in my own head I remember..... I'm laid off! It's kind of funny how reality is hard to understand when reality goes against the routine and norm that you've had for the past 21 months. I'm filing for unemployment in a few minutes. I also had to contact the Santa Barbara News-Press and ask them to pay me for the vacation that I had left over. It's like $500! And needz me dat monee! haha

Well, I gotta go do those things, but I wanted to share the Psalm that my mom gave me in regards to my last post about being laid off... I especially like in verse 8 which says - do not free; it will lead to evil.

Psalm 37

Of David.

1 ^[a] Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;

2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.

9 For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.

11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy great peace.

12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;

13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.

14 The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.

15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.

16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;

17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
