They Can Take Your Job, But Not My Joy (Article 1)

If you are one of the millions who have lost your job, your about to go into foreclosure and you don't see where your next check is going to come from. Don't worry or be sad, the world can take everything from you. But it can't take your joy, unless you let them take it from you. Yes, I am one of the millions of people who have lost a job due the economy of world. I was let go from a company in Chicago, IL back in January of 2009.

I had already been laid off before with Arthur Andersen, which I worked at for 4yrs. Of course everbody knows what happened to the giant accouting/auditing firm. Just say Eron, and you don't have to say much.I was out of a job for around a year; before I and found another job with a trading firm in the downtown Chicago area.

When you are laid off from your current job, make sure that you go right away to your local unemployment office and file your unemployment claim. GET THERE EARLY AS POSSIBLE! Don't wait until the afternoon, I went to my local unemployment office early in the morning and there was a line already been formed outside the office building. Bring your termination lettter or letter of disengagement; just in case if they ask for it. Some offices will ask for it, so they can see that you were let go from your job.

Here is a link to the unemployment offices around the country http://unemploymentoffice.net/.

Here is a link to the one for Illinois http://www.ides.state.il.us/. If you are not able to get to an office, but have access to a computer with a internet connection, you can also file a unemployment online also. This country needs a whole lot of prayer in order for this economy to get better. In 1Corthianins 10:26, it says "That the earth is the Lords and the fulness thereof." So everybody and everything, the economy, every job being lost and every company closing already belongs to God. This is way it is so important that we don't leave out God in anything that we do.
