Hey everyone!  I know I am not here a lot but I am currently working 2 jobs.   Bill & I were going to try to build a house later this year with the extra money I was making.  Well...last week Bill lost his job of 12 years.  They brought someone else in for less money and let him go.  Bill is pretty devastated.  He is going to apply for unemployment but that is not near what he was making and it's going to be tuff.  I just wanted to ask you guys to please remember us and send prayers, good thoughts and Karma our way.  We need it. 

Love yall,

Beth

Debbie Doo,

Thank you so much for your reply.  I know there are so many others that have it much worse off.  I am thankful that I am in a profession that is not hit as hard as many others out there are and I am thankful that I am in a specialty that allows me to do this travel work that pays well.  I am just so tired and now I am bitter too.  I was pretty much on the verge of breakdown last week so now I am just taking it one day at a time.  Please continue your prayers for us.
I have got to get my head on straight...I have sorta slipped into a mode of not eating well and I have gained a few pounds.  I am still in the same size but they are snug now.  I have got to stop snacking and looking for comfort from these problems with food.  I now that is what got me over 300 pounds before.  Argh....and ouch even.
I hope that we will be able to see you guys soon.  I look forward to it.
It really meant a lot to read your reply.  I will post again as I can.  I go back to work tomorrow at the hospital for my 7 days on. 

Hugs,
Beth

Oh Beth...I am so sorry.  I will be praying that Bill finds a better job than the one he had.  I love y'all and am sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Carmen,

Thank you for the prayers.  I have said them too.  I flip between being mad at the world to praying about it.  I can't seem to get past the fact that they brought someone back doing the same job for less money and then let him go.  It makes me MAD!!! 
I hope to be able to get together with you guys soon.  I could really use the "me" time and I love getting together for the dinners.

Hugs,
Beth

I hate that. I know Bill loved his job.
Know that when God closes one door he is opening another.
Ted has been with his company over 10 years and I am preparing him for the worst.
2 left; and things are being made more and more difficult.
I know that God has promised us and Beth you get prepared. Tell Bill to hold out both hands and prepare for fistfuls!!! Stand in Faith..and keep working hard!
I love you my sister! You know you hold a special place in  my heart; and so does that sweet boy of yours.
I will be faithfully praying for you.
As someone told me today; Paul was in prison and faithfully Thanked God. Never failing to live in the Joy of the Lord! 
Know your Joy is coming; Your going to have that house maybe not this year; but keep the Faith that the blessings are coming; doors will open and God will be with you all the way!

Julie,

I wish I had your faith.  I have never been really good at it.  I did say a prayer the other day that if this door was being closed to please open another one soon.  I don't think we can take much more.  I am waiting for something good to happen.  We sure didn't need or deserve this. 
Thank your for your thoughts and prayers.  We need them.  I am so mad and so bitter right now that I think if I ran into some of Bill's old co-workers I wouldn't be so nice.  (I know.....)  Good thing I haven't.
I hope to see you again soon.  I'm sorry I don't keep in touch like I should.  I am so tired right now I don't have much time for myself...much less anyone else.  I love you though!  Thank you for the sweet comments about Jeremy.  He is definetely a sweet hearted child.

Beth, Please know that Lucy and I will be and are praying for you guys!  Please tell Bill to keep his chin up and keep the faith.  It took Lucy 3 months to find a job here as an RN!!  Places are laying off and pulling back left and right!!  God will step in and take over!  Love you guys and I know this is easier said than done, but put your faith in HIM!  He will do when nothing or no one else will!
