Well, the job hasn’t started it. I’m fighting worry! It was too wet to be in the fields (farm truck job) and now it’s raining today. The guy said he was definitely bringing Lee on and at the last check in said to Lee that he’d call when he was ready to have him start. [...]
Lee had an interview yesterday for a trucking job! They weren’t explicit in saying, “You have the job.” But they said, “If it doesn’t rain, you’ll start on Monday. I’ll call you.” So we’re sitting around waiting for a call and hoping it’s really going to happen. You can pray. This would be ideal. It [...]
The past few days, I’ve felt so overwhelmed. I’m overwhelmed at the changes I need to make in my own life and actions. I’m overwhelmed at things that James needs to work on. 10 has sprouted into quite an age (oh my!) I sat down with Sonya Shaefer’s Laying Down The Rails book and almost [...]
1. The temp job only lasted for 3 days. It was a check though! 2. The “big” job that would have put us an easy street (ok not quite but….) did not pan out. 3. Lee has an interview tomorrow at a locally owned auto glass company. Praying! 4. He’s applying and applying and applying! [...]
Lee said he feels the weld test went well. He knew all the things he was asked to do. He had to read blueprints and assemble some parts. He said that his booth didn’t have a square (not 100% sure what that is) so he went to the man administering the test and asked for [...]
Lee felt the job interview went well. He did a lot of preparing and studying to make his interview go better. This manufacturer is hiring several hundred workers. So that’s good news right? He is scheduled for a weld test next week. One of Lee’s childhood friends works at this plant. Today, Lee called him [...]
Lee’s big interview is tomorrow. If you don’t mind, please pray for him to do well on his interview. If this isn’t THE job, I’m praying that THE job will show up soon! Thanks for your kindness in praying for us!
This morning, I hung up Lee’s dress shirt. He wore it to 4 interviews last week. We praise God for those 4 chances, but none of them yielded a job. As I hung it up, I prayed for the Lord to help me trust and have peace. Last time Lee was jobless for 5 months [...]
I’m trying to keep you updated. We so appreciate your prayers. I appreciate your comments too. It’s good to hear that people without Lee’s “handicap” are having similar job hunting experiences–not that that’s “good”. He had an interview today! It’s for welding. The boss said it’s good that he has his CDL and that’s a [...]
The Monday interview was canceled because the position was filled. The interview from Friday chose to “go in another direction”. What exactly does that mean anyway? Lee is very bummed but today he kept looking for jobs. He has a place to call to schedule and interview tomorrow. At least he’s finally getting responses to [...]
