I think taking the online course would be a good thing. I agree with everyone else that God will take care of you, but I also know that God can use your willingness to learn to help your situation.
I read the other day that your dear sweet hubby is praying that God takes him before he does you, so in that case you need to have some skills to take care of yourself....lol.
In all seriousness, it's not a "bad" thing for a woman to be able to take care of herself should she have to. I would encourage you to do both.....pray for God to supply the need and take the class.

After thinking about it last night, I woke up with a completely different take.
Why dont we all just pray that God will replace what you are losing? God can and will grow His church. This is a perfect oppurtunity for us to seek Him, that He will show His glory in your church.

Tonight I went to a class on Medical Transcription. I used to transcribe roughly 12 years ago and so much has changed.
Well, I am thinking about entering the field again as we have a family (some of our best support) moving in June and so putting me in the position of having to get a job. ( I don't want the Skinner to have to do that, cause I can get a better paying job and he can preach out if he needs to)
So where I need the help is.... do I take this course which I can do in about 3-6 months or....... get a job right now.
Transcription pays well and I can do it from my home on my time, but it will take me a little while to start making money.
So........opinions please (and try to be serious or else)
I'd say take the class (that is if its something you want to do and would be happy doing) It would be much easier than taking just any job now that you might not be happy doing or have the flexibility you'd have working for yourself. The time investment, IMO, is worth it to do something you'd enjoy and have freedom while doing ...

Bump....It is Thursday. dont forget to pray.
Brother and Sister Coonskinner, this morning I got up extra early because I needed to get to work early. It is going to be a hecktic day.
but as I was getting ready, you folks came to my mind. In particular this request by the Lady. I prayed that God would supply your needs according to HIS riches in glory. He is the wellspring. He is the author, and I believe this chapter only started with a question but He is going to write a blessing on your lives because of it. Your question is the loss of wonderful people but the answer is revival. I am praying for a great harvest.

Ferd, thank you so much for being sensitive to God and for your prayers.
I decided not to do anything about the transcription upon hearing many conflicting statements, but mainly I felt a "check" about doing anything about it.
I really feel like God is wanting me to trust him. I've looked at getting jobs and just don't feel that "special something" to go and do something about it. So, if I've learned one thing, when in doubt, don't move.
Anyway, the other day I had a "Come to Jesus" meeting. (it could have been a breavous nerkdown, as Tim Conway says) anyway I went into my prayer closet and literally laid down on the floor and said, "Okay God, here I am. I am broken in a million pieces, you've told me through many people to quit fighting and this is the only way I know how to do this, so here. Everything is yours. I'm not fighting anymore!!! I give it to you and lay it at your feet."
Got up and went on my way. God is good!!! It's been a little rocky at times, but oh well, He's in control and it's His thing now.
He's taken care of some things and financially, I'm not going to worry about it. I told Him that He was my pay master. He sent us here and that was to do the job He wanted us to do, and I won't look to others as my provider. God is that and He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and all the land under it so, who would be better to depend on except Him.
Didn't mean to write so much, but much needed to be explained and God needed glory!!!!

Yes, it is my name. Actually, Nancy Sarilda Carroll is my full name. I don't know what it means, there are probably those that could tell a thing or two, but I'm not sure.
My mom named me after my dad's ex-girlfriend. They almost married and my mom really liked the name. they are good friends to this day.
My mom didn't know how to spell it, so Sarilda sent a bouquet with S-A-R-I-L-D-A in a banner across it.
or else)
Its a win-win situation
