2. Keep copies of your important personal documents at home
3. Try to negotiate your severance package
4. Check out health insurance options
5. Create a survival budget
6. Take whatever work you can get
7. Protect your family with multiple sources of income

I hope his advice helps you. Remember stay strong and be courageous. No matter what, remember to serve the Lord through these tough situations. You gain strength while giving hope to others when you do serve.
