Hi everyone! About a week ago I started a post asking for prayer for my DH. He was going to cash out his 401K and quit his job before finding another one. In addition to his desire to leave a job he can barely bring himself to go to every day, he has been battling with severe depression and it is all I can do on a daily basis to hold him up in prayer.

Well, he came home tonight and told me he wouldn't quit this job until he either found another one first, or until they fired him, or until it just gets so unbearable he just can't handle it any more.

I am so happy I could spit! :) Praise the Lord! Our 20 year old dryer broke for the second time in 6 months, but this time the old motor just seized up and John took it as a sign that he shouldn't quit his job- it wasn't the lack of health insurance for his wife that was the kicker... it was a broken dryer motor which he replaced for $50.00 and it's working good as new.

I don't care what triggered it, I'm just happy he's waiting a little while longer.
Thanks for your prayers and please continue to pray for him if he comes to mind. Thanks everyone, and Merry Christmas!:sing:
 
Very happy for you! I hope everything goes well. Trust me, I know the feeling!
 
Awesome! Make sure you try to support him as much as you can and praise him for his work he is doing...going to a tough job everyday, fixing your dryer. That praise and support may be what he needs to get through each day at a tough job! :)
 
Yea! I am glad to hear that...I continue to pray that God will open a new door for him quickly!

I second what Janet mentioned...it is hard when we are stressed, but keep looking for things to praise him for!

{{{HUGS}}}
 
Praise God! I'm with Janet and Kelly... praise God and your husband! :)

I already thanked him for fixing the dryer. :) In only the way that a wife can...
I am happy that he's going to try and stick it out. I'm proud of him for coming to that without me needing to pester him about it.
Also...I can't tell you how great warm, dry, fluffy PJ's feel after not having a dryer for 3 days!
Thanks for the encouragement guys, I will continue to encourage the DH...

Have a wonderful Evening!
