Job Search Update #3

I guess God has decided that the job for David in Westminster is not where he should be. David went for the interview, waited the hour and a half for them to call, no call. Oh well, on to the next.

I got a lead on a job here in Aurora near the house. I am going to check it out this morning about 8:30. Crossing my fingers and saying some prayers this is the one for me. My niece Katie works at the same place and she is the one who recommended I apply. It is a good company, have had a couple of other family and past family members work there.

May God Bless you all!!

Job Search Update #2

David and I went to a Job Fair yesterday and handed out several resumes. Today, David got a call from one of them for an interview. He would be working for the Dolby Institute as a recruiter. He will be meeting them tomorrow at 2pm, so everyone please cross your fingers and say a few prayers for him. Although the job would be in Westminster, about 30 mins from here, we do not care, we will move to where he can find a job.

Keep you posted, until then God Bless Everyone!

Job Search Update

Got an email regarding the job with the Secretary of State's office, says I am 14 out of all the candidates for three positions. I could move up, but, they say that is not likely. I will remain on the list for any other positions that might come up, just have to keep my application active. I plan on doing just that and watching the State site for any other job openings anywhere else.

In the meantime, I will continue to browse the newspapers and internet for anything I think I can qualify for. Also trying to keep David on the prowl for jobs, he's submitted several applications for jobs at the Veteran's Administration, so keeping our fingers crossed and praying that one of them will come thru.

As always, God Bless Everyone!!

Depressed

Just want to post this so everyone will know and there will not be a lot of questions, but lots of prayer. Elizabeth decided today to stop all contact, in whatever form, with her family. She refuses to speak with any of us, email us, or text us. This includes not only her dad and I, but her brothers, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Please be praying for us to come thru this and to be a stronger family. I feel like I have lost a part of myself, but I know that tears won't help, although I have cried a river today. Thank you in advance for your support and for your understanding if I don't want to discuss it.

God Bless Everyone!!

Family Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that Mom will not be having surgery at this time. The third doctor she spoke with is well aquainted with the other two. He says he would not recommend surgery at this time but will monitor her closely over the next several months. She goes back in 3 months to see if there is any significant change, in the meantime, if anything happens she is to call and go in. Praise God for his blessings!

We are still looking for jobs, David has applied for several federal jobs as have I. I had a test on the 9th of Jan for a job with the Secretary of State here in Colorado. I should have those results within 2 weeks, then hopefully on to the next level which is two more tests. If I pass all these tests then I hope to be high enough on the list to get an interview. Please be praying for David and I to find something soon.

All of us are missing seeing Elizabeth's face each day but know that she is doing well in Trinidad. She is looking forward to prom in April and graduation in May. She is having some problems with the truck we left for her to use and we aren't able to help financially until we get some jobs. Please be in prayer for this situation as well.

The boys are doing great, Ben is back in school and James will be when the colleges here go back next week. He is still trying to decide whether to attend Aurora Community College or Pickens Techinical School. He appears to be leaning toward Pickens as he has struggled so much with the required classes for English, he has a slight learning problem with reading. If he attends Pickens he can take the classes he needs for Nursing and skip the english ones. We feel this might be the best use of his talent, time and our money. Please keep this in your prayers as well.

God Blessings on each of you keep in touch when you can.

Enough

When is enough really enough?
What do I have to do to make things enough for others?
What do I have to give to make something enough for someone?
What do I have to sacrifice to make it enough?
I really wish someone could tell me what enough would be!
I pray God will tell me soon when enough is enough.

The New Year!

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009! I pray you will be nicer to me and my family than '08 was.

With all the turmoil in our lives since June 30, 2007, things have got to get better this year. We are now in a new (old) city. We are looking for new jobs. We are sleeping in a camper and sharing the use of the house with 5 other people for a total of 9 people in this house most of the time. Things are slowly turning around for us and I must be patient.

Please keep us in your prayers, David and Mom especially. Mom for her health and David that he will come out of the depression and other problems he has been dealing with. We pray for all our family and friends everyday and wish all God's Blessings everyday!
