Need Prayers

I hate to be selfish, but could you please send a few prayers my way. It has been a really bad two years. I have been laid off, most of my resources are gone. My father died, I have really no family support. A few close friends and some assistance from a deacon at a church. No health insurance, thousands of dollars in medical debt. I am living off my 401K. I got totally overwhelmed and did the unthinkable this past may.

Back to looking for jobs again, I got called for a second interview next week. I am nervous as heck. I am hoping maybe I will get it. The economy is horrible in Michigan. Please say a small prayer. Thank you.

What is all so selfish about that? Besides, many people are needing prayers as far as finding a job and making ends meet now. Hey! I did notice you have has 2 interviews. Ok. I will say a prayer as well.

I was unemployed from April of last year to May, then worked as a temp from May to October. I didnt work again until March this year. I started a CNA class in January and got a job as a CNA two weeks after my class ended.

I know how hard it is to be unemployed! Ive worked in one way or another since I was 11 when I started babysitting. Ive had 2 jobs at many times in my life. Saying a prayer that everything will be ok!

If you need ANTHING please dont hesitate to ask.

I'm sorry you didn't get the job! If the interview lasted three hours you must have been a strong contender. I have heard quite a few people say it's especially tough to find work in Michigan with this economy. I wish I could help!

I will say a prayer that you find work soon.
Vicki
