I'm not sure if anyone on here is a
christian... But if anyone is, then i'm
asking for your prayers... I have been
married for just a little over a year now
and my husband and I just decided that we
want to have a baby.... We just started
trying and today I got news at work.....
I work for the salvation army as the youth
pastor and they told me today that I am
getting cut from full-time to
part-time.... The bad thing is, my
husband is in college getting his business
degree and my job was supporting us and it
was doing a fabulous job... But not
now.... And i'm depressed b/c I was so
excited about trying for a baby and now I
can't, b/c I am losing my job.... *sigh*
:cry: I am so discouraged.... I wanted
this so badly... And I know that god will
provide in his will.... But I am having
such a hard time accepting that...... I
live everyday for everyone else's
children, but now I want my own.....
Please send encouraging thoughts......
:cry:

Let me start by saying that I am very
sorry that you are losing your job. I
know that has got to be hard. You may
have to find something else that is full
time even if it isn't what you want to do,
at least until your dh finishes his
degree. I wouldn't necesarily stop ttc.
If you wait until everything is just
right before having a baby, you'll never
have one. It's the job situation now,
who knows what will come up next. There
is never a perfect time so I say, look for
another job and keep ttc. God's watching
over you and if you continue to look
toward him, he will provide what you need
in one way or another.

I'm sorry about the stressful situation of
losing your job. I have to agree with
abbysmom though - it may not mean that you
have to stop ttc. We've been ttc for
about 1.5 yrs, but I guess I wish we
hadn't waited until we thought it was the
perfect time to try. I've been trying to
remember james 4:14 and other scriptures
though - that we're just here a short
while, no matter what happens my ultimate
goal is heaven, and if i'm obeying.God's
commands I can have the confidence that
he'll be watching over me. I wish you
the best and will keep you in my
prayers!
James 1:2,3..."my brethren, count it all
joy when you fall into various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith
produces patience."
james 4:14..."whereas you do not know what
will happen tommorrow. For what is your
life? It is even a vapor that appears
for a little time and then vanishes
away."
john 14:7..."if you abide in.Me, and.My
words abide in you, you will ask what you
desire, and it shall be done for you."

Prayers And Good Wishes Posted: 03-02-06 15:20pm
I will definately remember you in my
thoughts and prayers through this time.
I agree with all the previous posts that
you may not necessarily have to wait. My
husband and I decided to wait to ttc until
we had our house built and things slowed
down at work. We started ttc in
december. Well, it is taking longer than
we thought and I am now wishing we had
started sooner. It sounds corney, but I
always remember the line from the sound of
music and it has always given me hope when
I am feeling like I can't handle what life
brings. I don't know if I have it
exactly right, but it goes something
like......"reverend mother always says
when the lord closes a door, somewhere he
opens a window". For some reason that
always stuck with me. The best of luck
with whatever you decide to do.
P.S. As a professional recruiter, I
would suggest checking out the local job
service or a recruiter in your area.
They may have just what you are looking
for. You never know until you try.
