dystopia

It seems like everyone has kept talking about the economy turning around and things getting better, but yet, I just don’t see it happening any time soon. I’m getting more afraid of the future with every passing day. I’m trying to be hopeful, yet I’m terrified things may get worse, for me and for everyone around me, for everyone in America. Will things get even worse before they finally turn around and get better? When will companies start hiring again? When will unemployment go down and people will have jobs again? When will the economy begin to recover? When will the worry stop? When will people and our government learn? Hopefully this recession/depression of our time will teach everyone(including our government) to learn from their mistakes and to be more frugal and realistic when it comes to money and finances.

I’m worried because my dh hasn’t been able to find a job yet. Not to mention the fact that my job is only a contracted position and my contract may possibly not be renewed when it’s up. What then? Well…like a friend of mine said: What’s the worst that could happen? Imagine that and prepare for it, just in case. If worse comes to worse, I know we’ll make it through and be okay, even though we’ll be heartbroken, sad, upset and depressed at what this economy has done to us and everyone we know or come into contact with. I don’t think there’s a single person in America right now that hasn’t been affected by this recession in one way or another. I pray today that God will help us and help make us better people and more faithful people to Him, remembering that He will always be there for us, in good and bad times. Please God help us and continue to bless everyone in this terrible time of need.
