Prayers in regards to dh's unemployment

Yes, I know, I had said he got a job, but right before he was supposed to start it, he got two calls from two different companies, both of which he really wanted to work at. Both of them seemed like they really wanted to hire him fast. Well, one has interviewd him on the phone, and that is it, other than calling every other week to say they are still looking into hiring him. The other one, he has had one interview per week, each time with a different person, but still no offer.

We are both about to pull our hair out, because he could have been working, making over twice what the unemployment office has been giving him, but here we sit.

The first job offer he got, he can still report to on Monday, and plans to. We cannot wait any longer on these other two companies. Mike's opinion is, if they call him again, he will meet with them, but it'll have to be after working hours for this other company.

Please pray, because we are literally down to the last few dollars in the bank, and I am just hoping I have enough to pay all the bills before he gets the first paycheck with this place he is starting with on Monday. We figured out the gas to commute is going to be approx. $400/month, which will pretty much eat up any extra money we might have had after bills. We will not be able to sign up for their health insurance, etc., unless they pay the full amount. So, we will will still be without insurance. I just pray no one gets sick. I looked up our state program for kids, and we will make too much for them to participate, besides the fact that there is no one in this town that will admit to taking patients with the program. No one likes to deal with it.

I keep looking around the house, trying to figure out what I can sell, but I either figure it "could" sell, but no one around here would buy it, and selling it online would cost too much shipping for most people to want to buy the stuff.

Thanks for all of your prayers!

Since I have lost my job I have been feeling the same.
I have looked around my house for something to sell to ease the burden on my husband. I did not work much but what I did make was enough to pay the vehical payments and buy some extras. Now we can not afford the extras and are scraping for my vehical payment. I have interviewd like 4 times in the last weeks with no offers..... frustrating

I am so sorry to hear about this!!! I hope he ends up with the perfect job for him (with insurance would eb great wouldn't it??). The problem with alot of companies is, that even if they do pay for full insurance, you have to wait for 90 days to be put on the policy! And it is constantly the people who make too much for Medicaid, but too little to buy their insurance who are in such tight binds with finances. I am so sorry to hear you are in this situation, but I know God will lead your hubby to the right job for your family!

I will be praying!
