Unscheduled Meeting Analysis

The day was Monday, February 1, 2010. I left my house for work in the morning, and got on time as usual. The day seemed to progress as usual until I got a meeting request from my supervisor. I finished what I have started, and headed to the little conference room where the meeting was scheduled. I had never gotten such meeting requests from my boss. Our previous meetings have always been pre scheduled. So what is the agenda for this unscheduled meeting? My boss was already in the meeting room waiting for me. As soon as I got in, I asked how things were. He did not directly answered my question, and proceeded to the agenda. He started by telling me how the economic downturn had forced the company to cut costs. This had been a familiar topic for us, and I proceeded by talking about our department 's contribution towards that goal by cutting some costs. But this did not seem to impress him. …show more content…
He continued to say, "David I am sorry I have a bad news for you." This has been the longest few minutes for me already, and I simply said that I was ready for what he has to say.

Therefore I thanked my boss for all the good time and proceeded to hand over my duties. As I say good bye to him, he asked for my plans. I told him that I am registered to attend classes at a community college, and that day was my first day for the semester. What a coincidence! I went home that night and shared the news to my wife. We have only been married for only for about eight months then.I was reassured to hear her say that "the Lord Jesus is in charge of our lives." She told me that we will have to continue to pray. I agreed, and we prayed about our future. God answered our prayers in many fronts. And we started to see the goodness of God in a short time. Our newly established business started to bear fruit. I managed to work with my wife, and attend classes. At the end of that semester, I managed to achieve A in both courses that I was taking. And at the end of the year we became parents of a lovely son, Nathanael - a gift from God. These became the foundation for what had to come. These five years have taught me to trust in God. What is more, I learned the power of prayer through which I was able to reap what God has for me and my
