I woke up this morning to a pretty big shock: I no longer have a job. I’ve not really wanted to think about it as this is probably the last thing in the world that we can actually take as a family right now. It’s hard enough as it is with one income and POOF – now even that is gone. It’s by God’s grace we’ve come this far, and it will be by His grace that we make it through because I honestly don’t know where to turn at this point. With barely two pennies to rub together, I look around and all I see are people with their hands out. For any of the collections officers whose eyes may run across this blog entry, I will tell you right now – don’t bother calling. I don’t have it.

Just sue me.

In case you all missed this over the last few months, my husband has been job hunting… submitting resumes ev.ery.where. He has tried being a coach, a teacher, a police officer, a youth care worker, a supervisor for the developmentally disabled. You name it, he’s applied for it. However, despite his AA in Criminal Justice, his BA in Sociology, and his prior experience in the NFL and as a counselor for the Office of Youth Development’s Adolescent Offenders Division, NOTHING has happened. Everywhere he has gone has been about as successful in providing an opportunity for employment as … well, let’s just say he seems to have a better chance at standing in line at McDonald’s to score a Whopper. { … Yeah, exactly …}

So our conversation this morning went something like this:

Me: GOOD MORNING, baby! So, do you have a job yet?

Barry: You know I don’t.

Me: Oh. Well that makes two of us.

Barry: *puzzled look*

That was then followed by about an hour and a half of him telling me how God is going to work it out while I cried like someone had just ripped my toenail out of the nailbed. Yeah, ouch. Then finally I got over it and took a shower and as my eyes stopped burning, I realized that getting upset about it wasn’t doing me any good because even after all the tears fell, it still is what it was. So, I’ve applied for about five different positions and am praying on it, leaving it in God’s hands and using this free time – yep FREE time – to finish writing my book, organize some things, and get back on track with my prayer and Bible study time. And hey – in the interim, if anyone knows of someone who is in need of any of the following, send them my way PUH-LEASE! {more info at www.edesign-pro.com}
