Well, to those of you who already know the job situation with Randy, then you will want to know that next week he starts a new "part time" job in addition to his full time job! This is a "trial" period to see if he likes the job, they like his work, etc before being offered a full time position. So pray that the Lord steers us in the direction that He wants us to go. We are pretty sick of the gas mileage that is associated with a 70 mile round trip drive to work for him each day (that is $20 a day in gas for his *paid for* truck people!). Not to mention the instability of the current job (he went back to this same job 6 months after being laid off because the company was lacking work), or the ever so worsening insurance premiums ($390/mo plus a $2000 deductible HSA that his employer is not contributing to). Don't get me wrong- this company he is working for has been incredibly wonderful & provided for our family for 7 years now, & they are like extended family, but we have to look at what is best for our family NOW, & we feel like the current job isn't it. We just hope that the Lord will place an opportunity in front of us for change, even if it isn't the "part time"position. This position will only be 2 days a week (of course, two of my busiest evenings of the week- so pray for my stress level & patience too!) but it is half the distance as the full time position so hopefully even if he takes this on full time, the difference in gas mileage would be like a pay raise!
So i just thought i would update you all on where the job situation is going currently & please say a huge prayer for us as we possibly embarq on a new journey!
