Well, it finally happened. I knew it was coming but now it's finally here.
They cut my hours at work to 24. I will work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. That is not enough to pay our bills. I will have to find a part time job or a whole new job. I hate the thought of interiews and such. My age is not working in my favor either. Not many companies looking for a 61 year old manager.
At Bible Study on Sunday, I requested prayer for God's guidance in this (knowing that something was going to happen). I am now trusting in him to provide. That is not an easy thing for a "take charge" kind of person like I am.
On one hand, I will have more time to do the things I need to do around the house and I can save money by doing more cooking and less eating out. I might even find my missing manuscript. Who knows!?
On the other hand, I would like to have a job. Actually, I would like to hit the Lottery and I may have as good a shot at that as I do finding another job!!
I'll have to wait and see what the net paycheck will be before I make a decision.
I could use your prayers for God's guidance and provision.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Aw, man! That's a bummer. At least on the surface. God is working on it, though. If I haven't learned anything else over the past few years, I have learned that God is working on it. Whatever it is. He is. Always.
ReplyDeleteThat breaks my heart! I hope that doors are opened for you. You just never know what God has in store.
