There may be a little beam of light at the end of the tunnel

We got an email from the church today, and they have an opening for a janitor for 12 to 14 hours per week. Wanted to know if Dave and I are interested in it. I sent them our resumes and hopefully they will call back. Right now 2 ladies do it and want to quit, so they are offering it to us. I told them that anything over $56 per week Dave will get his unemployment deducted (He gets $252 on unemployment per week), so the guy hiring said they could "work around that" thankfully. I don't care if they paid a flat $75 per week, it will help pay health insurance. Hmm, maybe Dave will start going to church again, it only been about 20 years. Ashley goes regularly and is very involved, me occassionally. I know, bad. Anyways, I am grateful for anything. I sent my online ap to Office Max the next town over hoping for some evening/weekend hours, but who knows.

No, no, no, Marie...NOT "bad"! It's more important to be a good person than to just go and sit in a building (church). I know a few people who go faithfully, each Sunday, and then proceed to gossip and backstab.

I can tell you all are "good people", and that's what counts.
Good Luck with all the work oriented things. This will all work out okay; you'll see!

I'm with CT . . . being in a building does not mean you have any true spiritual connection. You and Dave will be fine, I KNOW that. This is all leading up to something much better. Like the tooth fairy, you HAVE to believe.

I have been very lucky in my life that when things seem to be about as bad as I can imagine, things start to turn around. We all need to have faith in something.

Mac....when my husband and I divorced I had retired from dressing hair. I had no income and I think in his own perverse way he didn't care. I had my 18 year old son ( his son) and NO money....none nadda nuttin. I went to the no-kill shelter and worked taking care of the cats for $5 a hour. Fifty cats.......
My son ate cheap cereal and whatever I could manage. I went to my priest and asked him to tell me what to do. I learned then I had to tell myself what to do. He asked me what I would like him to pray for . I asked that he pray that I would not be afraid. I didn't want to hear things outside at night and I didn't want to sit and wring my hands in fear of what would happen to us.

My shelter job kept us hanging on till the real job appeared. Hairdressing. I had been a stylist for years and years. I got a semi-good job that worked it's self into a great job. I had a salon in the health club and taught aerobics, that turned into my own salon on my property. I don't make alot of money but I am very thrifty.

I have posted his story before on the old site but not here and I thought it would help you know that there is a job...it maybe the job AFTER the church job but there is gonna be a job.

BTW :) I am not sacred of the dark and I know if I say my prayers of thanks that everything will be fine.

My prayer for you...."Be ye not afraid"
