Prayer Request for Unemployment Appeal Hearing | Support and Strength in Christ

[Kitchen Diva]

Hi, I was wondering if when you guys say your nightly or morning prayers if you would be willing to pray for me tomorrow at about 1:00 pm (Central time). (6-25-08)

I have my unemployment appeal hearing. My former company is appealing the states decision to pay me unemployment. My former employer fired me while on an emergency leave of absence that they told me I could take so I could deal with a family emergency.

The short of it is that my former employer wants to be reimbursed everything that has been paid to me in unemployment- which as of last week was about $2800.00. I just started a new, full time job last Monday and I love it.

I believe that the judge will rule in my favor, because even if they say they didn't fire me, when they sent me an email saying they didn't have any hours for me (went from 40 hours per week to zero)- well that's a good reason to quit and in MN you can quit a job for good reason and still get unemployment. I even have the emails from my former company to prove it.

Anyway- whether they say I quit or I say I was fired is moot at this point. I would like favor with the unemployment judge and prayers that he would see the evidence I submitted that proves I was fired, and that he will rule in my favor, and that there will be no tension, anger or hatred or lies coming from
the other end of the phone, where my former employer will be...

I'm nervous, just because I've never gone through anything like this, but I know that we are more than conquerers in Christ Jesus... and I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me...

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the prayers!

Of course I'll pray for you... but you confused me (yes, easy to do, I know) with the "pray for me today at about 1:00 pm"... You didn't have the hearing today, did you? Is it tomorrow (Wednesday the 25th) at 1p?

Justice would be the judge not only honoring the earlier decision, but penalizing your previous employer for wasting the court's time. :grumpy:

 

[katie0128]

Yep - that would be justice! Nice one, leggy!

 

[merego]

heck yes I will be praying for you!! Interesting you can get unemployment for quitting a job ( for good reason). Sounds like you have all your ducks in a row and if they don't rule in your favor, I can head on out to Cottage Grove with my can of whoop a$$
You will be in my thoughts and let me know how it turns out

get those kids "lulled" to sleep Katie??

I fixed it. It is tomorrow, not today... I'm little yellow school bus special today!

I agree, it was bad enough that I turned a job down while on my leave of absense because I thought I was going to have one to go back to- but to have them lie- and go after me for the money already paid to me is just low...

 

[janetupnorth]

I'll try to remember you at 1 p.m. Kacey - if not, know I WILL remember you earlier in the day!!!!

Thanks. Since my 5 has emerged tonight, that was driving her nuts!

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Thanks, Mere- you might wanna wear hoochie momma boots, cause yer so small and tiny! I truly do believe they will rule in my favor. I have done nothing wrong, and they replaced me with someone else...plain and simple. If they have to lie to say otherwise, well then, please pray that I'll have wisdom to know what to say so that the judge will see right through their lies and deceit!

thanks!

Kacey,
I still can't get those pictures ( photobucket) to work, I am on the short bus too, just can't get it too work.
Katie, I may need your help after all, but I am too tired tonight to think about it.

You are flippin' hoot tonight!

Thanks, Janet- I need wisdom, and peace from the Holy Spirit, too!

How did you know I owned hoochie momma boots?? I own several pair as a matter of fact. Hoochie momma #9 to save the day!!!
How can they not see through what your previous employer did to you, they are so in the wrong.

Thanks, Sharon!

I don't know why I'm so nervous about this... I guess it's because I feel like I'm in trouble and my integrity and honesty are being questioned...and well that's slightly insulting and spooky for a squeaky clean gal such as myself.

Maybe prayers for a calm stomach, too!

We'll work on it during the two days I'm going to spend at your house working off my migraine hangover!

I think legally they have to hold the appeal hearing- just to be sure. But the only thing that they can come up with to prove they are right would be fabricated and untrue...so maybe that's why I'm nervous... because I don't know how Satan is going to use them to go after me....

Thankfully no weapon or word formed against me will prosper!

 

[janetupnorth]

Kacey - I get nervous with things like that too...I had my integrity questioned once at work by a co-worker...completely fabricated lies, not a chance of even proving a thing, not a leg to stand on but it had me so worked up I almost puked! I was shaking for almost a whole day. You can question my quality of work, my decisions, etc., but when you question my integrity, something that I personally value above almost all other things...well, I REALLY get in a tizzy so I know what you mean!

Thanks, Janet- I feel a little better. I was starting to get upset with myself for being nervous and getting butterflies in my stomach...

And because I know of what these ladies are capable of fabricating that only adds to the anxiety. But the bible says to be anxious for nothing, so I'm gonna do my best and let God help me with the rest.

I agree- question my driving..wait, don't- I'm an awesome driver (seriously) question my cooking... no ya can't question that... Oh, question my---shoot you just better not question me people! LOL

Teasing aside, I don't like my integrity questioned either, and you can't mention born again believe to the judge or he might just think I'm using that...

Yup, I just need prayers for peace, calm, wisdom, words from the Holy Spirit, guidance and FAVOR!

Thanks guys! I'm off to bed

 

[katie0128]

Yes - go to bed and pray yourself to sleep.

...and let me add a good night's rest!

Now stop worrying, it is in God's hands and get a full, restful, quiet night of sleep!

You are still here... your light is green.

Off to bed with you... shoo, shoo...

I was thinking the SAME thing and about to shoo her too!


KACEY - TURN OFF THE PC!!!! WE'LL ALL BE HERE TOMORROW!

Should I start a really boring conversation?

Hmm...let's talk about the current flow through a motor...or maybe 50 ways to thread a needle. How to teach underwater basketweaving for the non-swimmer? An analysis of the chemical composition of salt water in various oceans?

 

[Kitchen Diva]

I could start talking e-recycling and have your head's exploding in 12 seconds! LOL

I've always wondered about the chemical composition of salt water in various oceans, and the best way to cool off a warm puppy... it got too hot too fast today and it's still 82 in the house and my puppies are warm.
