OTP - Major Prayers Needed

Carole - 26 May 2004 20:23 GMT
Well, I have gone from bad to scary. I can't tell a whole lot of people
how bad things are here, so I'm going to vent and request MAJOR prayers.

I have come to the conclusion that once you are over 50 and have bookoo
qualifications and experience, no one wants to hire you.  I have applied
for anything and everything out here and all I have gotten are little
temp jobs here and there.  And it's just nowhere near enough. I applied
for a high school teacher's job in the subject area of my Master's
degree, and I have experience teaching high school and that went to
someone else. So I don't know what I'm going to do now.  I'm still
waiting to hear from a grammar school - that is my one hope.  In the
meantime, after I pay my rent next week, I will have a total of $9.00 to
my name. It's not just bad anymore, it's scary.  If I don't get
something VERY soon, I am going to be forced to move out of my
apartment. And since I have no family, I have nowhere to go.  So I need
some major prayers.

Thanks,
Carole

Oh Carole. Almost no words to help you here. Prayers I can offer. Was
going to tell you to send your address to me privately cause my friend
Judy has found some tops in your size she is getting rid of and I was to
pick them up on Thursday night. Shirts are about the least of your worries.
Probably time you went down to apply for welfare and any other help you
could get.
Maybe Aim could give you direction in a new field at Starbucks. Rumor
has it that they give health insurance as well as a paycheck.
Prayers and hugs heading your way.

That might be a real possibility, as long as you can find a job your body can
handle.  It might really be worth contacting Aim to see what leads or help
she can give you.

Thanks Duckie...already went the welfare route last January...if you are
a single woman with no children, all you get is food stamps which I've
been getting. But there is nothing to help with the rest.

Hi Carole,   You have that.   Just do not give up.   The right door will

"Brother Nate" is the handle I use mainly when I'm posting
in talk.politics.drugs (where I've sometimes referred to
myself as a "moral wet nurse for anarchists, reprobates,
and Libertarians").  It's a partial tribute to an old friend
who visits college campus preaching under the name "Brother
Jed".  It seemed like it might fit in for that particular
reply to Carole.

Just wanted to let everyone know that prayers were answered :)  Thank
you all!  Most of you know that I do the website for a wonderful
musician and he has found some projects for me to help with so I'll be
getting additional funds.  I also got a phone call from another musician
who saw the website and wants me to redesign his site.  So I'll be OK
for another month or so :))

Thanks for all the prayers and the offers of help. You guys and gals are
the best!

HUGS,
Carole :)

Thanks Gwen. I've started interviewing for teaching jobs. The one I
wanted I didn't get, but I guess that's not where I was meant to be. I'm
still waiting to hear on another one I went for last week.

I am in the process  of getting my Washington certification, which has
also proved to be a trying ordeal.  I had to be fingerprinted, so fine
three weeks ago and went and got fingerprinted. I got my card back on
Friday stamped REJECTED. They couldn't read a couple of the prints well
enough to process them, so back to the police station I went this
afternoon to get them done over again. Thankfully, the policeman didn't
charge me again :)  He was very apologetic and really nice (kind of cute
too...too young for me, but hey, I can look ;-)  So I've sent the second
set of prints off.

Then when I called the Educational Office said they needed official
transcripts, so I wrote to all my colleges and got those. When I went to
 turn them in, the guy said I needed to get another form filled out as
Washington requires double verification that you've been through an
educational program at an accredited university, and done student
teaching, etc.  So I had to write to my college in NYC again and send
this form to them to be filled out. Now I'm waiting for that. I honestly
think getting the degree initially was easier than trying to get
certified in Washington.

But I am an Aries, so I will persevere :))))

:)  Mother Teressa used to say that she never wasted time worrying as
God always provided. I think she had 4 times the faith I actually had
cause I would be worrying. :)
Oh, my trunk has a small box of shirts for you. Email me your address
privately. And yes this email addy will bounce. Let me know if you need
the real one again.

Just sent you an email, Duckie..I hope i sent it to the right address :)

I also wish I had the faith that Mother Teresa had...but alas, I don't.
So I worry....I should have learned by now that God will provide...maybe
 one of these days I'll get the message :-)

You've got them, Carole.  and vent away.  We had a similar situation when
Mike was fired at 45 but we had my jobs at the hospital for backup and
benefits as he pieced together a variety of part-time and no benefits jobs.  
It's a real shame that so few places recognize the value of experience and
education, even if they do come in an "older" package.  But we lived in a
college town where underemployment is rampant.  When the guy flipping burgers
at Checkers might have a Masters degree, no one worries about hiring someone
overqualified!

OHHHH NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I will definitly keep ya in my prayers. I just can't imagine being
sick like this, and having to worry about getting kicked out.
No wait I take that back. We own our own home, have to pay property
tax though. And last year we had forgotten to pay our taxes, as
everyone was ill with the flu, and my hubby had an appointment, almost
2 hrs. away. Well the next day we found out from a neighbor, {they had
seen  in a little newspaper around here} saying that our land was for
sale. Well he flew down there straight away having to pay them right
up front, 400 extra dollars. So we could have become homeless, had we
not had been informed right away, they would have put it up for
auction . That was quite scary, not knowing if we were going to have
to leave .  
Try not to worry things have a way of working out somehow someway.
Try to
Keep positive that it will work out ,

Yikes.  Here it is no big deal to be late with the property tax.  Some of
the wealthiest in the area make the list regularly.  Also I'm quite sure
that in California there is a provision where you can apply and not have to
pay your property taxes if you are over a certain age and under a certain
income.  The county gets their share when you sell or die.  In fact I think
the way it works is the state fronts the money to the county as the taxes
are due, and then they get repaid later.

Jo,
Well we are having to be on a little assistance right now, that we
will soon enough have to go off of it. We need to tough it till we
absolutly can't tough it anymore.
We don't want to have to do this re-pay later. That's how ya get into
debt more. It's ok we will make it through. I've been through a lot in
my life. I can somehow make it through.

You are in my thoughts, I know this has to be one of the hardest things for
you to face in your travels thru life.

I hope all turns out well and that you can get the job and get help to make
it thru all this.

I can feel your fears. My heart goes out to you so much.

Prayers are still coming.

I was just thinking of asking about you since I haven't seen any posts from
you in such a  long time. So I am glad you appeared and told us what is
going on.

Hugs and TLC to you.
