Dave in Tenn:
I can't say I absolutely know from experience what you are talking about, Samson...but stay faithful till God gets you on the other side of this and you will be an amazing man.

I thought about becoming a Televangelist.  I could seek love offerings in exchange for blessed moistened towlettes (wetnaps) from a really good barbecue sandwich I had a couple of weeks ago.  I already know how to confuse and entertain, so I'm fully qualified, I think.  It would at least keep me in Barbecue.

Anyway...God is good.  If I become a hobo, at least I'll be a hobo with the gospel.

Hee hee Dave--that's the spirit! ;D  My hubby was out of work for almost 4 months (residential construction industry), then boom--a cash "side work" project came up last month; then while that 2-3 week job was still in process, an ex-employer from a few years ago asked him to come on board with another company he owns.  So, my Joe had 2 jobs going at the same time for about a week!  We're so very thankful, as we were almost to that point you describe.  I do work and make a decent salary, but he was getting a little depressed with me bringing home the bacon and him frying it up in the pan.  (Remember that commercial?! :D)  Plus, it just plain isn't quite enough bacon to stretch and feed us over the long term!  There's a scripture that fits (and I'm sorry, but I can't quote chapter and verse), but the jist is that God will provide, and that we're not to worry about our physical needs-trust that He will take care of us and provide us with opportunities to help ourselves.  I'm hoping Kathy or Joe or another member will jump in and share the exact scripture(s). ;)  Anyway, I just know that this point very recently became real to me.  Our God is with us on so many levels--I just love learning it!

Keep that positive outlook and sense of humor, and we'll definitely be praying for opportunity to come your way. 

Enjoyed reading your introduction, and have enjoyed your posts so far as well.  Thanks for joining us here!

Love in Christ,

Hi Dave,
Ill pray for you. I know its nothing like you're going through but I had nothing to do for summer (Im a college student) and was a bit depressed that I could not find anything. Then boom, a good fulltime job came in for summer and some other things that are keeping me productive. Do not give up hope and please let us know how youre doing.

OBrenda:
Dave,
It seems to me that God is shaking up this country.  I have never heard of so many people out of work.  
You were wiser than I, to have a savings to cover you. I will pray for you earnestly, as God directs your path and takes care of all your needs. I pray also for everyone, as we learn to store our treasures in Heaven, and not in things that decay. (Joe's Post)

In Faith,
Brenda

Hi! Vangie

I believe the Scripture you were wanting to quote is;
25  “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?   26   “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?   27  “And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?   28  “And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,   29  yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.   30   “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!   31  “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’   32  “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.   
33  “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  34  “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."  (Matt.6:25-34).

I hope this helps.

God bless you sister in our joint walk in Christ. 

Love in Christ Jesus.
