Thank you all so much for your prayers, God is indeed good and gracious. Sheri, my boss, has offered me my job back. She actually sent me a 3-page text at 1:30 in the morning on Saturday, which I did not receive till Sunday, but that I will transpose for you here:
"Daniel... i will explain it to you tomorrow... but you still have your job you are not going to be laid off... just thank God because of marlene('s) [my boss's boss and sister] faith in God and my faith in him we know everything will be ok... we will make it!!! We are just going to put it in his hands... and i know will do ok... God always works in mysterious ways... so have a great weekend... Sheri"
Apparently, this all stemmed from a brief conversation I had with Marlene earlier last week. It was, in fact, my first real conversation with her, wherein she apologized for having to let me go and told me as soon as it picked back up she would be calling me. I mentioned in the conversation how I had full faith that God will get a me a job and take care of the whole situation. Anyway, something must've struck her funny because she and Sheri stayed up late Saturday night discussing the business and myself, and they decided to take a chance and keep me on in faith that the business will do well.
So it is an answer to prayers, at least for now... :) Thank you all so very much for your prayers, I know it was the only way this could've happened. I am still making $12 an hour, 40 hours a week, which is way better than any other job I was looking at switching to. So, I shall stay the course, feel free to say I should do otherwise, I am open to discussion.
Thanks again,
Daniel
Wow, that's so awesome! Just goes to show that God really has your back. As far as whether or not to stick with the job...well, I would stay with it for now. If anything it will just help your resume to show that you were loyal to the company. I know it's not your favorite job, but it's not forever. I'll keep praying for you. But, for now I will be happy that you are secure in your finances again! Hooray!!
ReplyDeletePraise God! I will continue keep you, your employers, and your company in my prayers! I'm so glad that -- not only did you put your absolute trust in God -- but he rewarded your faith so quickly!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Good for you Danny boy!
ReplyDeleteI bet that was the last thing you were expecting, I mean for them to change their mind like that is cuhrazy.
Love you and thanks for the update!.... hopefully I'll see you tomorrow at risk?
How AWESOME!! Clearly God is up to something, and at the very least, you have a whole new way of connecting with your employers.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly say stay the course, keep the job...BUT, keep your eye open as well for any other opportunities that could arise.
This is a real statement about what kind of person and worker you are Danny Boy. We're awfully proud of you.
We'll be praying that the business explodes with income so that their good actions are rewarded.
Ditto to all of the above comments...that is is awesome news! One less thing to have to worry about with an upcoming wedding.
