crochetmania.myfastforum.org :: Prayer Request-My DH Got Laid Off Today

TX CrochetLover · MANIA MOD

Oh, it was a shock when my DH came home at 10:00 am and said, "I just got laid off". It was unexpected. The co had laid off some people in CA, and it wasn't expected to affect jobs here in TX. A total of 19 people here lost their jobs today. So, things are tough for lots of industries. So, I am asking that you pray for my husband to find a different job. He got a pretty good severance package, but ya know, that and unemployment don't pay the bills. Son#2 freaked< said,"What are we going to do? Will we have to move?" Can't answer that. Anywho, I am still trying to process what all it will mean to us. If you can say a little prayer for us, it will be greatly appreciated.

I'll be sending lots of good vibes your way. It's been happening all over, unfortunately.

We are in fear of that all the time. My husband's job had two big lay offs, they told him they were keeping 'the best of the best'. But it doesn't mean he won't get laid off. Anyway I will be thinking of you and I hope your husband can find another job soon. It's so scary.

Remember God says that when a door closes He always opens a window. If you need to talk please don't hesatate to holler at me. I will pm you my number. Hang in there girl. Hug and prayers for you.

You will be in my prayers too Selena, I know that we are in for some rough times in our country to come.
I worry about this so called stimulus making it even worse.
I will ask God to please send you and hubby His guidance to see you thru
as to what to do, He will make it all work out for you and your family.
He will see you thru it with more blessings than you can imagine

Sending hugs and prayers your way.

They closed down 6 shops in Texas alone where my Hubbie works.
So he has to work overtime and 6 days a week. That just doesn't seem right to me..

They hired 5 more people to keep up and starting next week they are going to be running 2 mills here.

I guess that we are being blessed right now thru this time. Hubby is a Door Greeter at WalMart and even though they cut his hours back thru the holidays, it was a much better thing than if they would have sent
him home with no pay. They always cut back on hours every year around
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
He is just now going back to 40 hours this week and it will feel good
to see that full paycheck again next week.
I hate to say it, but with WalMart, you can just about depend on them to
have and to keep your job. Their sales seem to be staying up there more
than most and the associates are not having to worry right now about their jobs.

I know it's WalMart and it's not a big paying job and all, but as my Dad use to say, a half a loaf is better than no loaf at all.
It does pay our bills and keep us feed and that is a major blessing in itself

I'll be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks to you all, it makes me feel better knowing you guys are praying for me and DH. We are busy cleaning and getting ready to have a yard sale around spring break. Maybe it will net us a little bit and get the "stuff" cleaned out of here!

We had already planned an anniversary getaway and DH thinks we should cancel it.
It's for three nights at a B&B. Stay 2 nights get one free. I told him we may not get a chance to do something just the two of us again for a long time and I think we should go. I don't know for sure, but I think we need the recharge time cause the next while is going to be stressful.
The last time my Dh was in the job market, it took 9 months to find a job in his field. I try not to think that far ahead.

The news just keeps on coming and none of it good. we had some high winds last week and lost a bunch of shingles. The two companies we had come out to inspect and give bids on working the roof stated we needed a new roof. There is a lot of damage from the storms last year that we didn't know about. Insurance adjuster came out and they denied our claim for a new roof, because they weren't our carrier last year. So, DH and Son#1 were up on the roof replacing shingles today. DH says there are so many loose ones and such. He is not sure how long we can go without a roof replacement. But who the heck has the thousands of dollars to replace it without insurance assistance? I told DH that if we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck at all. Not good news today. It really is discouraging.
