please continue to pray for us as we await word on Dh’s job. we know that he will very likely not keep his current position, based on a meeting last week. but we are fervently praying that he will be reassigned to a different spot OR be able to quickly find something new.

he feels very defeated. i feel very scared.

would you all please continue to pray for us? we know that HE has the final say and things could completely turn around.

thanks to all those who have offered up prayers on our behalf…
 
Yes, I will pray. 2 months ago I was forced out from a fiem I had worked at for over 30 years, so I know what he is going through. I also know that without my wifes prayers and support, I would have fallen apart. I am due to start a 35 hour a week job at the end of the month, and am looking for a part-time job to supplument it. It is not ideal, but with God’s grace, we should make it through. I know if you two keep the faith in God and each other, you will as well. It is scary, have no doubt, but remember the 23rd Psalm, “…eaven though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…,”
 
to the above poster, and to all who have offered prayers on our behalf, THANK YOU!!! we are both very scared. we know that GOD will see us through this, but we have no idea how.

it is very scary to stare down the barrel of a big debt with no idea how you will come up with the money to pay it. it’s also scary to know that i’m going to be the ONE person responsible for our family money-wise if he cannot find another teaching position.

please continue to pray with us…
 
I pray that you and your husband put your trust in God and keep this situation in his hands. I pray that you always seek first his kingdom and his justice and that you have all things added unto you. I pray that you both will be abandoned to his merciful love full of confidence in his merciful love. May he lead your husband to the job and meet all of his spiritual and temporal needs. Amen.
 
thank you to those praying for us, and to all those people praying for ALL of the intentions listed. God’s people have so many needs!!!

Just a quick update that Dh likely has a meeting tomorrow afternoon, after which we will know almost for sure what will happen. he is waiting on one person to confirm the meeting, but that person is the most vital one so if they cannot make it, the meeting will be later.

I am a bit depressed today, knowing how he feels. he worked so hard and feels like he didn’t have a chance to prove himself at all. DH had a position eliminated a few years back, due to budget and such, and he LOVED that job. we were lucky he found this new one, but now we are back to the drawing board. this summer will be constant worry, every single free moment spent in practice interview questions, constant letters of introduction, etc. but, if something good comes out of it, it’s all completely worth it!

At least we are healthy and our family is together and for that, we have been heavily blessed!

thanks for continuous prayers

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he** loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”**
 
thank you for the beautiful Psalm!! it was a warm comfort to me this morning as we are having rainy, damp dreary day in my mid-western state!

tomorrow is the day that DH will find out. He has a lunchtime meeting with two head people and a couple others. i am praying so hard that God will be merciful to us. as of now, i continue to pray that somehow DH will be spared in his current job OR be reassigned to something different within the district. he has reached the point where he is starting to gear up for job searches and has contacted some recruiting people…

i feel terrible for him, because i KNOW he’s a great teacher, but he is very sad about this. we’re trying to stay optimistic.

I would like to ask for one final push of prayer for us over the next 24 hrs as that will bring us up to the meeting time. thank you for all prayers offered for us!!
