I am transitioning out of the army now and have been in steady prayer about finding a new job to support my family. There have been folks who with good intention have told me to stay in because I probably wouldn't find a job. I know God has plans for an abundant life for me so I have trusted what He has put on my heart.
I received an email from the job I have been wanting for a couple of years now and will be doing an interview soon. Need prayers for favor with the hiring officials.
My wife and I are working to be licensed to foster adopt. Without secure employment I can't get a child out of the system and into a loving home. So please pray for that process too.
Prayers that all works out for you and your family on the way from Georgia.
Thank you for your service.
Prayers sent for your job, family and future family..
Prayers from NM...John
Amen
I'd like to echo Pronghorn's sentiments first to "thank you" for your service to each of us and the country!
Second, you have my prayers for your interview, and God's will to be clear in your path of career and serving as a foster parents.
Keep the Son in your eyes!
Praying for you and your family during this transition.
Thank you for your service!
Prayers sent for all
God Bless
Thank you for your prayers. My interview has been scheduled 13 January at 730am. I purchased a suit for the interview and am preparing. A suit wasn't really in the budget but it's an investment so, after prayerful consideration, we made the purchase. Your continued prayers are needed and appreciated. - Tim
Prayers continue. Use the K.I.S.S. method..."keep it short and simple" when it comes to answers. :)
Best wishes for God to guide your lips and you trust in His directions for what is best!
Tim,
From one retired soldier to another, thanks for your service. Just a tip, its like a promotion board, go in like you know the information (confident) but not cocky. Also do your best to take the Army talk out of it just translate it to normal English. You are one of the few they are probably interviewing that has been managing people and property for years.
Good luck and you and the family are in my prayers.
Nick
Thank you for your prayers and support. Tomorrow is it so I am going to bed now. I am praying that I go in there under the boldness of the Holy Spirit who is fully confident but first in humility. I'll let you know how it goes.
Praying for God's best
GOOD LUCK TODAY!! WE'RE ALL PRAYING AND PULLING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
The interview seemed to go well this morning but I won't know anything for 3-4 weeks. All the prayers have been a great comfort. Thanks to all.
Glad to hear that you felt you did well in the interview. Thank you, Jesus! :)
Only thought is to keep pluggin away looking under every rock for other opportunities. I've had numerous good interviews, only to find later they have NOT filled the job with the market so "iffy."
Keep the Son in your eyes! Prayers continue!
Found out today the panel recomended me for the position. Just have to wait the time for the ok from Washington DC.
He is faithful!
Hey Tim thats great!! Good luck with the transition.
Nick
Excellent news, Tim! Thank you, Lord! :)
Prayers continue that all goes well with the approval and you find a great outlet for His talents given to you for His glory!
Prayers continue
God Bless
Great!
AWESOME! That is really good news!
I know that prayer and support work and that my next job is on its way too!
This news also gives me hope for my fellow countrymen. I was naturalized as a citizen by the grace of God, and know from my background and experience the value of the service men like you have provided us. Thank you! I am sure you were more than qualified for that job, but even if you weren't the best pick of the lot I'd expect those with honor to step aside to give you a crack at it. I'd let you cut in front of me in a soup line, my friend.
I wouldn't take a cut in front of you but I would take a seat next to you or any of the other great people I've met on here.
:clapper: :clapper:
I just found out I made the list and should be receiving a tentative offer in the next few days. Praise Jesus for this.
Now my only worry is that the army is taking too long on it's paperwork. I need prayer for the Lord to supernaturally speed my stuff through so I can be free to start this Career. Thanks for all the support so far.
COngratulations!
To all that have given of the heart for Tim.. I thank you,
I have had the great opprotunity to get to know this goodman at the club we are both members of. He has been talking about this job for the last couple of weeks now. When all goes well I will be losing a shooting bud for several months as he will be at training..
I will be praying for him and his during his time away and will do my best to get him back in the field with us on his return..
Again I thank you all for your suport of my friend..
Later......Buzz
Bear Heart, I will be happy to pray for you and your family. Lord we thank you for Tim. We pray that Tim gets the job if it is your will. We ask that you be with him and his family. Please let Tim keep putting his faith and trust in you. We ask that your will. Please let Tim know that he will be fine as long as he contiues to trust in you. Lord I would also like to say thank for keeping Tim safe while he was in the service. In Christ name we pray, AMEN.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
I got called last week with the tentative offer to start out as a GS9 at the Federal Way,WA office. That's where I grew up. They sent me a packet of paperwork and fingerprint cards. Got that done quick and back in the mail to California. I have a physical on Friday the 13th and will have a drug test as soon as they call me.
We have had a couple slow downs in the licensing process and I can just see how God is bringing this together so that I will be here when the child He has for us becomes available.
Big mother Army is taking her time but all things are coming together for good according to His will.
I have stood on the the things that have been asked in His name by all of you for me. Thanks for being the Church. Blessing prayed for you and your households. - Tim
YOu are an encouragement for those of us, Tim, that have not yet seen any movement. Prayers that things continue to move positively forward, albeit, perhaps a bit slower than you'd like.
Keep the Son in your eyes!
Prayers and praise continue
Supposed to start my new job on the 12th. One last hurdle is that I have to get cleared out of the Army by the 3rd so that I can send a copy of my paper work to the agency I'm working for. Please pray for smoothness and speed in this operation. Thanks.
Prayers continue... easy to get nervvy at this stage, but continue to walk in Faith.
His will be done!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
On the list and will keep it there.
Good luck for the 3rd..
Later.....Buzz
Best of luck to ya and prayers being sent.
Picked up my DD214 today and faxed it off to my new employer. I start on the 13th. We have our home inspection on the 8th to get licensed for foster care. Getting so close to bringing a child out of the system and into our home.
Thank you so much for all the prayers. I have been battling my flesh's desire to stress out during this time. The prayers and encouragement of those on this site have helped immensely to keep me out of that muck. Many friends, meaning well, tried to discourage me from following what the Lord had told me to do; ETS from the military and be free from indentured servitude (basicaly bondage) They said there are no jobs out there so you might want to just stay in. But I serve YAHWEH YIREH and eat from the provision of His hand. I'll make a point of bringing this up in as many conversations as possible. Not to shame them but to shed light on the truth that God alone is good and faithful and our provider. I pray this is encouraging to those who read it. -Tim
Thanks, Tim. Indeed your words are true encouragement after 10 months of unemployment, one job that was a done deal that blew up last minute and nothing since...but yet, I continue to be blessed in many ways... important but so easy to overlook ways.
Blessing to you and your faith journey as you move forward.
keep us posted of your progress...we can all use good news!
Keep the Son in your eyes
PLease Lord let Tim & his family glorify your name with their presence and that of their adoptive family. Amen
Tim...I will be continuing to lift you and your family up to our Lord....Terry
