You all have been an encouraging community for me the last couple years, and I appreciate any prayers you can send our way. To give some context, my husband does contract IT work (remote/work from home), and his last contract ended in October. As you probably know, the job market has been tough recently, there's been a ton of layoffs and it's been hard for him to to find work in his field. He's applied to a ton of jobs, had a lot of recruiter phone calls, but nothing has come through yet. Many jobs are STILL requiring the vax (even remote ones!) which my husband will never do, and he's passed up good opportunities because of this. Since a lot of the work is contract based, most of the positions are only hiring for 6, 9, or 12 months. It's hard to find anything long term/permanent in his field anymore. He's thought about switching careers and has even applied to jobs outside his industry, but has a lot of good experience built up and as you know it's hard to switch careers later in life. Just praying for one of these opportunities to work out, and also if this is God leading him to something else, that he will be open to that calling.
Thank you so much, and please let me know if there's anything I can pray for you about as well!
EDIT: Thank you so much for everyone who took the time to respond! I shared all of the encouragement, prayers, advice, and job recommendations to my husband and we are so appreciative of all of you. I tried to reply or DM to each person here, but I apologize if I missed anyone. This community is awesome and I am so grateful to have found it. I hope to update you all soon with good news about a new job/opportunity for both of us! Much love and blessings to you ❤️
Hey fren,
Same boat as you. Got fired for being pure blood about 3 months ago too. I have a family and moneys pretty much run out. The stress in my family is manifesting itself in all sorts of crazy ways.
But we got this. You can do this. You didn't make it this far to lose hope with the finish line in sight. Problems are often times just opportunities in disguise.
Much love fren and best of luck.
Thank you so much! Much love and encouragement to you too! It's been tough, we have burned through what little savings we had and by the grace of God made our mortgage payment for January, but not sure that is going to happen in February without a job. I know a lot of people are struggling right now, but I believe God is going to honor those who stood strong against the medical persecution, not just with vindication of the truth about the shots (we will be proven to have done the right thing in the future, even if it's difficult right now), but God will repay what has been withheld, and in some cases stolen, from us.
To encourage you, I helped make our last mortgage payment just by selling off stuff around our home that we no longer needed, or was in storage. You'd be surprised what you have laying around your home that has value (use FB marketplace, craigslist, or offerup for this). Or depending on your skill set, you can find out if your neighbors need help with things around the house such as landscaping, handyman stuff, etc.
Praying for you, and wishing you and your family the best!
