A temp agency is a good idea. Some people have found great temp-to-perminent jobs through temp agencies and others have made a career out of going from temp job to temp job because they love the variety. heidi- will pray God's will be done with employment...He will provide for your needs...don't give up or let yourself sink into despair...take it to Him- pour your heart out to Him- He knows, but wants to make sure You know -that He is the One Who you belong to and He will take responsibility for your needs...Prov. 3:5-6...He may have plans you would never think of until you ask Him to take over and to show you the next step- one at a time- each one when you need it...do not panic...He is your loving Father, your faithful lover of your soul- betrothed and truly already spiritually united to you...i understand the fear when you can't see the way, but He is holding your hand and has a much broader, higher perspective...do not be afraid...Ps. 56:3-4 tell Him you trust Him even when you don't feel it...He will help you to truly trust Him (p.s. at one point we owned a house, rented an apartment and a storage unit and needed to rent a house we could fit in and were beyond exhausted w/ all the moving and stress etc and to the point of giving up becuz we saw no hope in continuing the way things were going w/ the house not selling and so much more going on that was dragging us down and the financial burden and fatigue was absolutely oppressive...but when you can't take it anymore and you do give up, but you also give it up to God, He takes it and does unexpected things for His glory and your good! in our case He brought a buyer for the house by way of a cousin's wife's co-worker's mom or something like that! it was crazy and it was actually very soon after i had truly fallen apart, but fell on my knees, thank the Lord!) Well said, Sis! TR I wholeheartedly agree gratefulforgrace! :amen: Absolutely, the moment we turn loose and let God, this is precisely when God can do wonders and I mean the incredible and sooooo much better than anything we could have ever done. This is what He wants us to do. Believe me, I have learned the hard way :yes: Thank you Geri, Kolleen, TR, Yohanan, Gratefulforgrace, Susan Thank you very much for sharing Gratefulforgrace I am really upset with all the people who discouraged me. Legal Shield went on about employers being able to mandate a vax. An attorney even went on a rant that was very distressing (how you won't be able to do anything in Canada anymore without the vax and the courts will back it up) I was horrified by what he said. he was really rough and rude. I spoke to an attorney through Lawyer Referral Service. he was not friendly either and said employers can mandate. My manager couldn't stop going on about how you can't do anything without a vax anymore. I ended up not being able to do anything because of the anxiety. I did not immediately start looking for other work or undertaking anything because of worrying about hearing that I won't be able to do this or that without the vax. It is not fair the way people have been talking and causing distress to others. In the last few days, I have seen job postings with no mention of the vax. I ran some errands today, including finally sending the Notice of Liability to the HR director by registered mail. I also bought a computer mouse, I was using the keypad and could not get much done through that. I will apply for other jobs and check with employment agencies. I will also check virtual shoppers I might still need to go ahead with DD to get some money sooner. He will never leave you, nor take His eyes off you! TR I will mention something good that happened a couple of days ago. The colleague who is on unpaid leave asked me to come over to her place when we had to go in to hand in our equipment. she said to get there around 6 pm and that she will text me her address. she called me around 2 and told me we will have dinner together, she told me what she has cooked for dinner. She said it is not too much, just a main dish and a salad. she also made dessert. I thought that is definitely "much", however, I smiled remembering that she is Jordanian. Middle Easterns usually throw a feast. anything less than that is "not much" Her place is lovely. she likes dim lights which is also what I like. very relaxing. Her Middle Eastern food was amazing. her husband very nice and hospitable. after dinner she asked if I drink Hazel nut coffee. I don't drink flavored coffee but a previous roommate did. She made me remember the precious times I had living with that roommate. I accepted the Hazelnut coffee and the taste and smell took me back. then we sat next to each other and she showed me how to write ads and connect with people on facebook. I asked her to help me out with that but I wish we could have just enjoyed other conversation as we had our coffee. it was nice to be relaxed, no masks, no silliness..................... in somebody else's house having a nice, quiet evening without a fuss about stupid C19 or taking any precautions (or simply not being together) precious evening. Happy for you, Sis! TR I am sorry to hear your first day was so stressful, Heidi. I've had first days of employment like that before. :wacko: Praying that God will open doors for you and have you meet people that will assist you. :prayer-hands:
