I am posting this in answer to Linny's Crazy Love Challenge #2 you can visit here... http://aplacecalledsimplicity.blogspot.com/2010/04/crazy-love-challenge-2.html
I am just going to jump right into my need so you will have time to move on and read other's needs...
I have a great job that is a "flex position" basically it means that I only work when they need me and during most of the year that is only around 20-30 hours per month...during the fourth quarter I can work up to 40 hours a week. Well it is a great job for a Mom because I can be off for plays and field trips ect. but right now I need more.
I need to go full-time for three reasons...
1.) I need health insurance. I have several health issues and I have no other available options that are even remotely affordable.
2.) We want to adopt. If I am not working full time we don't have a group health plan that would cover a child without pre-existing conditions and because we want to adopt a SN child this is a big deal. (Also my Employer gives $5,000 toward the cost of our adoption if I am full-time.)
3.) We want to be able to buy a home that can hold all of the children God wants to send us. Right now we rent a small home and we just chopped off part of our living room to add a VERY VERY small bedroom for our son so we have grown all we can here. We don't want an extravagant home we just want something clean, safe, and large enough to grow our family. To own this home I need to be working for awhile so that we can pay our debt off and get in the position to buy. Right now we are just getting buy...unable to save or pay debt down.
There are no open jobs in my department but I KNOW that God can make a position for me. He has done it before. I can not move to another department until December of this year (my 18 month mark with the company) and I really LOVE my job and would LOVE to stay in my department. Please pray that God would give me favor with my bosses and that I will be able to go full time. I work hard and I believe that God will honor that. Please join me in praying about this! Thank You so much!!!
In Christ Alone,

Hi Sherri,
ReplyDeleteJust read your post after visiting Crazy Love. Just a little about me. I am a Christian lady, retired age and live in Western Australia. I know that God has a plan for each of our lives and that He wants our best. I will be praying for you in this matter. That you might have favour with man and that you will receive news of a job that is greater even than your expectations.
Love
Jennifer
Praying for the perfect position to come along. Praying that God's path opens up before you...His beautiful journey for you and your family. Praying....

ReplyDeleteI am praying that God would meet every need you have....maybe even more creatively than you imagined?? =)
ReplyDeleteHe has good things in store...and I can't wait to hear what He does - maybe you can even do the answer as a Memorial Box Monday post!! =)
Thank you for posting with the Crazy Love challenge...xo
Jesus, Thank you. Thank you for this sweet one's heart for your children. Lord we ask that you would open up a full time job. Lord we know that you move mountains, Father we have seen it and we ask that you would make full time hours available with health insurance. Lord thank you for their faithfulness in serving you and wanting to adopt a special needs child. Lord bless them in this journey. Father thank you for your provision, continue to speak about adoption to this couple... In Jesus name AMEN
