My position has been made redundant.

Only 5 months and a week or so into 2026... yet so much has happened.
My husband fainted at work
My recurrent cancer diagnosis, that led to a bilateral mastectomy
My father's cancer diagnosis
And now... being made redundant.
Being let go wasn't unexpected. But like the mastectomy, I found myself having to reassure those around me... what's going to happen to me, what's going on within me right now, etc.
Every time I find myself strayed or pushed off the path I thought I'd continue walking on, I've learned that God has a new path He intends for me to be on.
Truth be told, I'm not sure if I want to remain in the human resources. 15 years in, yet the profession still has a bad reputation. Recently, a fintech startup CEO fired his entire HR team.
And the agency environment I've grown to love... from Dentsu to Weber Shandwick... it's easy to get caught up in the 24/7 news cycle and feel you're "always on".
Perhaps this is God's move for me to focus on my physical healing for the time being. Day by day, I'm regaining strength and mobility through rehabilitative exercises. I do hope the medical appointments would lessen since I would no longer have an active income.
I have a new project in mind, and I named it "Blessings" (because Chris says Providence is too difficult a word for many folks). And just the other day, coincidentally Blessings by Laura Story appeared in my doom-scrolling.
The chorus reminded me:
"And what if trials of this life
are Your mercies in disguise?"
He has always provided for me, even when I weren't aware at those difficult moments. Despite the difficult situations in my life, I know I'm blessed.
Have a blessed day.
