Wow! Does that sound familiar. Praying for all those going thru that grinder now.
We were in Detroit area, which was in full blown economic depression. One night, we were having a Cub scout meeting at my house. One of the dad’s said he’d gotten laid off and I said “Cool, now we’re all unemployed.”
eight years later, he’s still bouncing around looking for a permanent job. He gets jobs then let go. I think that’s common still in Detroit area. Most friends have found stuff, but not all at the level they were.
It was difficult to move but not a hard decision. God is good. He kept our family strong during the 8 months I was living in the new state before our house sold. Kids are all grown. 2 1/2 are out. One is back in Michigan, one in Virginia. One at college and one still home. The college one found a great college that allows him to live a dream that would have been tough in MI. He will be an Aeronautical Engineer in May. We found a local school that has been absolutely perfect for him. He’s already got a job in his field and I hope he’ll get a permanent post there.
