My husband

It looks like my husband is losing his job. We just moved here in June, our fourth house in four years. I am exhausted, I just cannot keep doing this.

He moved into a company that puts in low quality equipment (years before Mark got there) and then demands that the engineering/maintenance manager make it work. Well, he can't, no one can. His boss demands that he be available 24/7 and that he come to the plant on every whim, even in the middle of the night.

Another move could ruin us financially, and Andy is finally doing well in school. I just do not know what to do. We did not want to come here, but God insisted, we knew this job would be trouble from the start, but we had peace about the move.

Anyway, I don't know what else to say.

{{{HUG}}} Tyler, I have no profound words of advice. Just this, I understand and I am for you. Papa, help Tyler & Mark & Andy & Matt.

Heather said...

Tyler, I'm so sorry. I know about the house moving thing and I know how exhausting it can be.

No advice here either, just praying.

Mike said...

I'm praying for you sweetie; you and your whole family. I won't offer any advice either. Just know that I love you very much and having every body part that I can cross, crossed for you while I pray.

I know I don't post much here, but just to let you guys know I check in and pray. I'm sorry Tyler Dawn. This must be crazy hard.

Erin said...

Jut follow hard after Father...I have been there and I know sometimes it's all we can do. If you had peace in moving there, then there is a reason, though I wouldn't presume to guess what that reason is.

Love you Tyler and I am sorry. I will pray that the way will be visible to you both.

Erin said...

Oh and WELCOME to Spankie. Glad you joined us.

Hey, Tyler... wow. that's really rough. I too, pray that as you had peace in spite of the circumstances you knew you'd be facing, that that peace will remain (or return). I don't know who wrote it but there's an old song that we used to sing at a church I attended for awhile called "Way-Maker" that says "God will make a way where there is no way."

Father, I pray You'd make Your way clear to Tyler and Mark - that they would know You to be Jehovah Jireh - the Lord, their Provider.

This is not too big for You. Will You help them, please? Thanks, Daddy.

oh, goodness. I will DEFINITELY pray, sweets!

I just really feel like this is going to turn out okay, Tyler. Hang tight, baby.

Tyler Dawn said...

Thanks everyone, evidently his boss is placing him on the chopping block to save his own hide and as this is a "fire at will" state there is no recourse. I just can't believe this is happening again. Mark's last company closed all of it's plants just this year and he lost his job (even though he turned the plant from 77% A-quality product to 98% in just six months and was enormously successful) because of that. To have this happening twice in one year is just more than I can deal with. And yet, i do have a very strange peace, but I am not liking it. In a way i guess i am just numb.

Sara said...

Praying for you Tyler. What precisely is Mark's area of expertise, etc.? Is there anything concrete that we all can do in the job search / recommendations / making it affordable to relocate / etc. front?

Valorosa said...

Wow Major stress

I'm with Sue I think it is going to turn out alright
There must be something else there for you.
Lord, bring the new job on or open the bosses eyes to see that he needs Mark to stay.

Comfort to you
