  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Basically, I'm looking for a new job.

I still have the one with Agency A, which is the place I worked at last year. But with the merger and the new staff in the office, things are not going well, and the last straw was when I realized they were paying me a dollar less an hour than I thought I was getting paid (due to a phone conversation with my old boss), asked them to fix it, and was basically told that it's not going to change. I know I'm worth that extra dollar, because I'm getting paid that for the job I have with Agency B.

So, I'm looking for a full-time job and as soon as I have one, I will quit working for Agency A. The only reason I even stayed with them in the first place was because I absolutely adore the 4yo I work with through them, and I really like the whole family. They're not making it worth my while. And with a real full-time job, I'll get *benefits*. This is a good thing, I need to get a prescription filled and I need to see the dentist for a checkup.

I'm hoping that my hours at the new job (whatever/wherever it is) will be negotiable to some extent so that I can still work with my school-aged kidlets after they're done school.

I'm sticking to my field. After five years working with autistic and special needs kids, it would be damaging to my career to try for a secretarial/office assistant type position. So, I'm applying to the school board and I've applied for another great-looking position.

Please pray for this situation - that I would be offered the job(s) God wants me in... that I would be able to figure out what and how to tell my kidlet's Mom that I'm quitting (when the time comes)... yah.

Thanks.

Guess what!?!?!?

Agency A is going to pay me what they're supposed to pay me! Just starting this pay period (so next Friday), but that's still AWESOME since I thought I wouldn't get anything of the sort coming my way! :)

Agency B is iffy now, though... the family I've been working with through them is going to a different service provider. They want me to go with them, which isn't a problem for me, really, but Agency B hasn't got anything else for me right now. I still have afternoons open. I've said to keep me in mind for any Saturday morning positions.

I have steady respite shifts every Saturday afternoon this month, though, which rocks! And of course I'm still applying for everything in sight. I'll get something for the afternoons, I'm sure...

Please pray for more hours!

Thank you Lord for moving already on this need. Continue to organize and order her life and job opportunities.

Send her blessing and help her to be a wonderful blessing in the lives of people. I thank you Lordthat you have called her to work with special children and help families through. Amen

I break any darkness that is trying to come against her life. Dispell dark cloud that are lingering over her and bringing threat to her way of life. Amen
