I received notice today that my 2,450 hours at A&E are down to about 750. I have recently been aware of my remaining hours but when you are called into the boss' office to sign your final contract it becomes very real. I can't believe I've been there nearly a year! My projected final day is December 5th. Many people have asked me the obvious question: "what happens after that?" My answer: "I don't know!" There are a few options for me but every one of them requires me to have a ton of FAITH! I don't think it's a coincidence that that is the very topic we've been looking at in my Women's Bible study. So here are my options (all of which are out of my control).
1) A permanent producer position could become available at A&E, I would apply and perhaps be hired. A position recently opened up which I applied for...along with about 20 other candidates. The competition is tight.
2) A permanent position could open in another department. Once again, there would be a lot of candidates.
3) I may apply for another position at an entirely different network.
4) Something else entirely, of which I have no idea!
I hope I'm not sounding negative. I'm not trying to be. I am trying to be realistic, let my needs and desires be known to God, and trust in Him. Please start praying for me now. Ideally, I would like to stay where I'm at. I LOVE my current job and would only love it more if I received benefits and paid vacation! My prayer is that I would be able to stay there and if that is not the Lord's will, that He would bless me with another position that would meet my physical needs and that I would love just as much. Seriously, I've never had a job that I look forward to going everyday and can find very little, if anything, to say negative about it.
Besides the job situation, my life already feels in a bit of a transition. I can't really explain what's going in my life, mostly because I don't know! I just feel like there are some changes occurring. Maybe I'm being prepared for whatever is in store for me. It's both exciting and frightening at the same time.

Sweetie... I will begin praying for you and your job. Remember my favorite verse...Jeramiah 29:11..."For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord.....to give you a hope and a future" I know it is hard to step out on faith and follow, because our human side wants to stay in control, but step out there girl and he will take you far. Look how far you have already come!
I love you!

SHAVONNE, GRANPA RAY WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU. HANG IN THERE AND EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT JUST FINE.
Shavonne,
I will certainly be keeping the job situation in prayer. Remember God's faithfulness to you in providing what you have now and know that He will provide for you in the future (Matt 6:19-34).
Love you!
