Please Pray for us- re: husbands job...

JoJo1793 · 06-06-2005, 04:50 PM

Please I need all the prayers that anyone can spare. My husbands job has been very up and down over the past few months. They had lay-offs as well as a salary decrease. That we could handle as long as he had a job. Well today we find out that there is a chance that they may be outsourcing his job. I don't know what we will do if they do this. We have no money saved, and our rent is outrageous. I started to work last week but it is only a sales job and it will not help us out that much. It was mainly to help out with the 10% decrease in salary. I am so sick about this right now. All I do is cry and be sick. I know that I am hurting my husband more than I am helping him right now. But I really can't do any better.

So please if anyone could say a prayer for us. I thank you so much.. My husband has also been sending out his resume for the past month and so far no one has called him back. I just don't know what to do. I am so confused.

Thanks..
Jo

JoJo--- that's what my family calls me! Keep your faith and the Lord will provide. My sister and her husband went thru this not long ago--with a 3 yr old--and they almost lost their home--Just when they were about to lose all hope--her husband was offered an even better job than he had before. And remember--there is always someone else going thru something much worse--my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer about one month ago. He is going to be fine, but he has to have surgery soon. Please know that I am not trying to make light of your situation-because you are experiencing a very difficult time. Just remember that nothing comes to us that has not gone through the Father first. He knows how much we can handle and this is just a test of faith. Keep your head up Cyster........Love in Christ, les

ohhhh man. We went thru this. they decreased dh salary 2 times in one year and then 2 weeks before Christmas the layed him off. I was not working at the time had an 18 month old. I did the same thing you did. I turned to God. We sold our house and moved in to a really tiny rent house.
DH went back to school and just graduated and now he is on the job hunt.

I dont know what your husband does but my company has a location in Canada. I dont know how close it is to you but your DH could try. I cant offer much more than that and my prayers. I hope it helps. God brought us thru and he will bring you thru too.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. Just an update- Yesterday my husband emailed the CEO of the company as he is in Europe and expressed his concerns. All last night Eric and I prayed and we talked about the scriptures. Well this morning when he arrived at work the CEO had called him and left him a message he informed Eric that his job was safe that he had nothing to worry about and if it ever came to Eric maybe loosing his job he would come talk to him personally in advance so as to give Eric a chance to find something else. Right now we are trying to think positive but we still can't help but to worry because we do know this mans track record. He has been known to lie to people before. So Eric is contacting HeadHunters today, plus he is going to check out the site that Constance sent me.

Thank you all again this has been a really trying 7 months for us. I had a miscarriage on Oct. 28th, lost my grandfather on Nov. 18th, lost my grandmother on Feb. 18th, lost another baby on April 18, and now the worry and stress of Eric loosing his job. I know that there are other people that are in worse shape than we are and I pray everyday for them too.

Les I will keep your father in my prayers.

Thanks again.

Great! By the way i love your dog. Is she a silky? Iam getting one soon i hope! i had on from the time i was 5 till i was 20! i loved that dog and i am ready to be flea bitten again!
We just got news DH is getting a pay cut. He did not make much in the first place but still it will hurt. So we will all pray our Dhs will get an awesome job they all love really soon!
ON the brighter side i got a pay raise!

JoJo1793 · 06-07-2005, 01:12 PM

Congrats on the pay raise Sorry about your husband.. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Now about Miss Molly she is a silky. She is the love of my life. I never thought that I wanted a dog. But my parents got one in August and I love her to death. So when I lost the baby, my mom had to get me one to. Now I just don't know what I would do without her. Yesterday when I was so worried about everything the first thing I thought of was how I was going to feed my baby. I didn't care about Eric or myself just her. Are you going to get a silky? Let me see pictures when you do... I love to take pictures of Molly I think she starts to pose when she sees the camera..

Thanks again..

yes i am getting a silky. the breeder just emailed last week and told me her female had been bred and she would email me soon with pg confirmation! I want a female ( i know it sounds bad but i dont like male dogs) So we should be driving to Denver in September or October to get her!
They are very different types of dog. We had a dalmation that i got for my birthday the year my silky passed. Of course she did not live near as long but still sweet. I just never got the bond with her like i did my silky. I know it is silly but you know. I did love my dal too just not the same you know.
As for the other stuff i know it will work out. We would never have fun in life if God did not put bumps in the road right?
