Many of you have probably already heard, but I was laid off from my job yesterday afternoon. I am officially an unemployed victim of the economy! Well, except for Starbucks, which definitely isn't enough to pay the bills. If you're reading and know of any available jobs, I am definitely looking. You can reach me at amanda.r.hannah@gmail.com.
I am surprised that I am not freaking out right now. I only have two weeks of severance pay and no good job leads so far ... but somehow, by the grace of God, I am at peace about this. I have no doubt that God is going to provide for me, and view this as more of an opportunity than an obstacle. I have been wanting out of that job almost since I started it, so I was about 25% sad and 75% excited when I got the news. In a way, I view this as another step toward going back to school and am excited about the opportunities that wait.
I have been overwhelmed by the love and support of my friends and community. Thank you to everyone who has called, emailed, and visited me at Starbucks. It means so much to know that people care and are willing to help in any way. I have the best friends.

I miss you and I love you. It's not the same without you there. Feels empty!
So sorry about your misfortune, but God's plans always yield the most beautiful results! Lots of love...
