Just got fired from my job

[GentleSequoia]

So, as I've posted, I recently got in a very traumatic car accident that left me with three fractured in my hip. I'm learning to walk and live again. I'm working every day to heal from the trauma and the injury. But I just received a call today that my job, which is at a church (I was an administrative assistant) literally fired me because they couldn't wait until August 1st and the person training me didn't want to work anymore and wanted to retire. The pastor, my boss, just called me to tell me. I let him know that it wasn't a Christian thing to do, and that it felt like a slap in the face. As I write this, I'm filled with anger, sadness, and pain. But I will lean on God and give it to Him. I think I have every right to feel angry and upset. I know God will show me a better way, but it felt like a f*cked up thing to do, and I'm not sorry for saying that. What the hell?

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Do you live in the US? If so, then you might want to speak to an employment attorney. Generally churches have to follow the same employment laws, and firing someone while out on or right after returning from a medical leave of absence is big time illegal and will get you a nice pay check.

Praying for you as you sort it out.

I have recently experienced just what alfie mentioned. One door was closing, and it was really hard, but the next day, a new door opened it was absolutely perfect, much better than the original. I’ll be praying for you as you’re sorted out.
