The Trials never end

Trials are so hard they always seem to come to all at once. When life just seemed to be slowing down and looking up it seemed a start of a big and a never ending trial goes on for us.

  Mikes finding a job has never been a bigger trial for us.  People think people with a bachelors degree automatically get these great jobs or get jobs. Well Mike often has said "a bachelors of business is like having your GED" .  Which has inspired him to get his sx sigma certification.  Well that has opened up a lot more opportunities but again he has found the want engineering degrees with that. Grrr! He was working as a process engineer at US Synthetic for about six months solving problems. He was doing a great job. They decided that because the real engineers relied on the process engineers and the techs so much that they would get rid of their positions. His pay didn't change but he got put back as a operator. He. Found himself not using his talents and hating what he was doing. Working long hours and we would never see him.  He went to this great company with amazing benefits with a dream to move up but basically got a promotion and in some people's eyes got demoted and is miserable again. Because there is such a line in the positions that come up not too many are available or it's really political. So back to the job market!!!

The job interviews! in two days he got 2 job interviews. One in Boise to be a quaility manager assistant which he would love. But the problem is moving again! Grrr. And.  The other in ogden such a hard decision because he would have to commute for a while but would he enjoy it? The people didnt seem very happy.  It would have to pay a lot for him to sacrifice the time and eventually move closer.  Also, another hard decision is my kids love their school. Haven is a candidate for the gifted program. Moving away and not giving him the opportunity to be in that would be really hard.  After the interview my car broke down . We are praying its nothing big but think it might be the transmission. Our trials never end. It's hard to have faith. And feel that The Lords will guide us to where we need to be.
