I understand the job situation here in AZ. The town we live in was at over 10% unemployment before the recession. Now it's incredibly high. My husband looked for almost a year before he found a job and now is pretty secure in that job because he is reliable. His boss even has started to not show up as much because he knows my husband will be there no matter what. We'll keep you in prayer, Lynne.
Thank you!
I just read a news article that ranked the Phoenix metro area as #5 in the top 10 worst (in terms of economy) metro areas in the country. I was wondering how the rest of the state was faring. Congratulations to your husband!

Two years ago, when I went for an interview with the state government, I debated whether or not to use my cane (I was able to walk without it at that point) as I felt it made me look less than desirable as an employee. I decided that I was going to use it, to be honest about it, and let the Lord handle the interview.
I wound up not only using the cane, but when queried about why I moved to North Carolina, I 'came clean' with my prospective boss, and told him how my husband and I had separated at that time, but that we were now back together and happier than every before.
I was the only interviewee that the doctor liked, and he's now my boss.
Be honest, Lynne, you have a testimony to protect.
Lor, I've been thinking and praying hard about what you said. You know how it feels when you read or hear something that is true? (I'm sure you do.) I've decided to present myself as exactly who I am, regardless of the advice of job seeking professionals. I hunger and thirst for truth and we serve the Truth, so there is no gain in playing by the world's rigged game of deception.
Thanks so much for speaking truth to me. 
Friends like y'all are hard to come by.

Yes indeed! It was very good advice with a testimony too.
