My lovely wife has had a lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. About 3 years ago we found a local LPN program that was cheaper and faster than RN school, and we figured it would be a good way to get her working sooner and then head to RN school at her convenience.
Unfortunately, the demand for LPNs in the state of Ohio is almost 0, especially for LPNs with no experience. My wife has been out of school for a year and a half, and has still yet to work a single day as an LPN. She was blessed 5 months ago with a job at a local hospital as a nurses aid, but eventually someone became annoyed that an LPN dare work below her license level and made enough complaints to management that my wife was forced to resign.
Today my wife got a call from a nurse manager in a local city to come interview for a full-time LPN position. I have not seen her this excited since the day she was accepted to the LPN program. Certainly this would lift a huge burden financially for our family, and it's just inspiring.
Ironically, she has been having lunch more often with one of her girl friends from our Life group. She let it slip that her and this woman had been talking about an Emmaus walk, and that my wife was finally seriously considering it. I went on my walk in 2008 and have been encouraging her to go since that time, only to be met with continued resistance. I have backed off, but see this as a ray of sunshine through a terrible storm. I personally don't believe there's any coincidence that 2 days after my wife decided to seriously consider a more intimate relationship with the Lord, she received a call for such a great opportunity as this LPN position.
I personally don't believe in praying to God for a job, or for more money. I would ask you all to pray that whatever God's plan is becomes clear to my wife and she is able to cope with whatever direction he takes her from here.
Thanks for reading.
