Cuts, Nips, and Trims

I'm not talking about plastic surgery. I'm talking about friends and colleagues being transferred, perhaps not keeping their jobs. It's just cuts, nips, and trims for some, but it's heartache for the ones who stay. This is not about strangers but about friends we care about. So my friends have been told to hold their breath. They have been told to hope there is a job for them somewhere else in the district. It's like marbles, a bump and scatter. It's so sad, to see so many go. I know my principal is deeply saddened, we all are.

The numbers are down in the district with so many leaving the cities, seeking more affordable housing. Then many unemployed immigrants have decided to return home, so they can be in the safety of their country and family. So our numbers are down. This is not going to be easy.

We all need to trust in God, He will be with us. We all hope it will be well with you and our prayers are for you. All I know it that God is faithful.
