SIL Lost Job With Wife 7 Months Pregnant

My son in law just lost his job due to his company pulling out of the Tennessee market.

His wife, my daughter, is seven months pregnant with her first child and now they are facing this.

They have lost their insurance coverage and will have to get Cobra coverage at a very expensive price to get through the pregnancy.

They also have been leasing a wonderful little house that my daughter was looking forward to bringing her baby home to and now that is in question as they may have to move in with us for a couple of months if he does not find a new job ASAP.

Please pray for my SIL's job search and my daughter's state of mind. She is very upset over this turn of events as this is a particularly emotional time for her in her pregnancy.

The SIL has a Masters Degree in Business and is finding that many times he is considered "over qualified" for the jobs that are available.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I know the feeling accept it is being under qualified...lol.

I do feel for him. Nothing like losing an income let alone the only income. That is not good. God certainly will keep His hand and eye over them.

I went through that a lot! I think it is harder to get a job you are over qualified for than one you are not even qualified for.

God is able to do a quick work and I pray He will!

Do you think the crime of his two laptops had anything to do with their decision?

I don't have a degree but with my experience it often prices me out of a lower paying position because of being "overqualified!"

I will be in prayer fer sure as I have walked in those shoes.

Re: SIL Lost Job With Wife 7 Months Pregnant

CC, praying here. I am also praying for peace in your daughter's mind. I'll pray that she can keep her stress level down in this critical time of pregnancy. I know it doesn't feel that way now, but all the situations they are facing are temporal and will not even be a serious memory 10 years from now. The most important and only lasting thing in their situation is the health and well-being of their child. It all will work out and they will be stronger for it.

God Bless
