Tim's job

Tim and his fellow co-workers were sent letters yesterday stating that the company is going to have to make cutbacks, and that there will be possible layoffs. Any time is horrible, but this is an especially difficult time of year to be without a job, and we all know how bad the job market is right now. I'm supposed to do my student teaching and take 4 classes over the winter term, which would have to be put off so that I could work to help out with the finances, which is another worry because I'm afraid I won't make it back to school if I have to find a full-time job now. I don't mean to sound selfish but I've worked hard these past 2 1/2 years and have been really looking forward to finally earning my degree in May. It's something I've wanted to do for a very long time. So, that, on top of worrying about how the bills would be paid...Anyway, if you could remember us, as well as Tim's co-workers in your prayers, it would be greatly appreciated.

Pam, I am so sorry to hear about Tim's job situation. You and your family will be in my prayers. You've worked so hard in school, and I hope that you can continue.

The Lord will work it all out, Pam! I'm praying.

I'll be praying

I agree with Savannah...you are absolutely not being selfish. I hope and pray that it doesn't come down to this. I worry about my husband's job all the time. He works for a big corporate giant that could easily send jobs overseas. Very scary.

They say within the next couple of weeks, Savannah.

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to remain hopeful. Sometimes they seem to make these threats to justify other cutbacks, like even crappier insurance. So, we shall see as time goes by.

Prayers from across the Atlantic are with you too, Pam. After all the work you've put in, it would ba a shame to have to quit your course now. Please God, Tim's job will be secure. No time is a good time to have your job under threat but it's always worse coming up to Christmas. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'll be praying for you as well.

I'm sorry to hear this, Pam. I pray that you are able to continue your classes. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.(((hugs)))

I'm sending prayers your way, Pam! You have worked so long and so hard in your schooling and Tim and his working; it is just not fair! But I pray that things will work out for you all!!

Thank you!
