I had been working in the corporate world for quite a while (just past 4 years) when we had a visit from head office.  At about 9:30am on a day in June-this year, I was asked to step into an office, and was told, basically that our branch was closing, and my position was no longer required.  I was one of 2 people that was not transferred to another branch in the area. 
I have come to peace with that day-an amazing summer-spent home and abroad with my Hubby and kids has helped a lot! The fact that this was "round 3" of this type of cut softened the blow.  I was thankful to get out when I did-as I said, to enjoy the beautiful summer.
I know GOD has amazing plans for me, and I can't wait to see them unfold!!
