I need heavy duty prayers - Adventist Forum and Adventist Chat

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Amelia Here Forever, by Request :) Registered: 07/30/01 Posts: 17199 Loc: Out standing in a field	I just got off the phone with my boss. Albertsons has informed our company Crossmark that they wont be renewing our contract so as of Feb 1 2007, I will be out of a job. Crossmark will try to absorb as many of us as possible into open positions in our areas. Also our names are being given to the new brokerage for possible hiring with them. Why do companies always do this at the holidays? Its the pits.

Halfstep Denise Come visit the chat room, open 24/7 Registered: 03/18/00 Posts: 370 Loc: Walnut Creek, CA, USA	I'm so sorry Amelia! I will be praying for you! The reason they do it during the holidays is the "I", "Me", and "My" thinking! They are only thinking of the bottom line and not about anyone else, IMHO!

Morning Glory Registered: 03/19/05 Posts: 456	I am so sorry to hear about this "development". It is just plain cruel for employers to do this sort of thing at the holiday season. I will definitely keep you in my prayers that something even better will come your way. Morning Glory

Shane Administrator of Foro Adventista Registered: 02/02/02 Posts: 15004 Loc: Rio Grande Valley, Texas	I will keep you in my prayers too. The timing probally has to do with the contract dates Albertson's has with this other company. That is a bad deal too. I have been involved with management decisions where we have actually decided to fire someone but to wait until after Christmas to tell them. That is probally more common in smaller companies. _________________________ Check out the "Families" section here at Club Adventist. Link > Shane's Page - updated 7/5/07

Jeannieb43 Princess of Pasadena Registered: 12/29/01 Posts: 2225 Loc: California	So sorry, Amelia. I'll be praying for you. I didn't know you were a food broker. I have a good friend who has done several things in the food management business. She was a food broker for several years, but her company lost some of their big contracts, just like your situation, so she got out before her employer went broke. Since then she has been in a food manufacturing business... whenever a company needs to have something like a nutrition bar manufactured, she calculates the protein, fats, carbs, etc., and sends it to the test kitchen for putting together a new product. Then if the customer likes it and orders a big supply, she makes a commission - besides her regular salary. God bless you in your creative search for new work. _________________________ Jeannie ...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....

Amelia Here Forever, by Request :) Registered: 07/30/01 Posts: 17199 Loc: Out standing in a field	I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me in this situation. God is truely good even though I have not been very attentive to Him of late. He has sent a few opportunaties my way recently. Even if these don't pan out, I can see my Father is still blessing me. I am so unworthy. PRAISE Him for His faithfulness. $\:P$ _________________________ "The wealth of a man is measured by what he can do without." ---Henry David Thoreau " Do not love the world or anything in the world.

He is showing me that too this week - a few issues which I will not discuss (not family/marriage, that is all fine) - He makes provision for our needs and helps us get a better look at ourselves along the way.

Clio The King's Daughter Registered: 03/31/05 Posts: 2747 Loc: Alaska	Amelia, I will pray for you... but having been the blessed recipient of several layoffs in my career, may I offer this? Although it felt like the end of the world at the time, when I prayed my way through it, the next stage of my life that Abba took me to was so awesome, so wonderful, and soooo much better in so many ways that I could only praise Him. And in every case, had I not been part of a layoff, I would have missed out on His blessings totally! Prayers ascending for a long time, Amelia.

puddles Facing each day one step at a time Registered: 04/29/01 Posts: 693 Loc: land of Mercy	Hang in there Amelia! You are SOOOO loved by God (and us!) God's not finished blessing you yet. You are so faithful to bring things to our attention, report the unusual, find the most amazing photo's of things that I have ever seen, and I could go on and on. You are one of the most amazing ladies I've ever "known" and I personally have been so blessed by you. Still praying for you!

Naomi Registered: 07/15/02 Posts: 7146 Loc: This Side of Calvary	Hello Amelia, Yes God is good ... all the time. Thank you for your update and will continue to pray for you and that doors will open for you. After 8 months of being unemployed I can tell you that you will survive; there are avenues available and you will be amazed at how events unfold.
