Many of you may not realize that after Tim’s job at Calvary ended in May the job he had lined up fell through. He spent the summer, unemployed, submitting applications to various electrical companies and hearing over and over again that they just didn’t have the work available.
The Friday before he was to begin his second year in the electrical program at SCTCC a job became available at Ryan Electric. He submitted his application and tried to call immediately to see if they would work with him around his school schedule (they were looking for a FT employee). His call went unanswered. The following Monday he went to his first day of classes. Both instructors indicated they would be attempting to squeeze as much as they could into the first four weeks as they suspected school would end up being online after that. Learning a trade isn’t the easiest through online education as the labs/hands-on work are an integral part of the education. When he got home from school he called Ryan Electric, explained the school situation, and let them know he would much rather do his learning in the field than behind a computer. Within the next couple hours he had a face-to-face interview with the owner, and came home with a job! His next call was to the school to drop out of the program... in the world of electrical work it only pushes his timeline to the Journeymen test back by about three months, and this way he GETS paid for his education rather than paying FOR it. :) All summer we experienced an unexplainable peace about his unemployment. He wasn’t eligible for unemployment payments so we were without an income, yet we felt secure in the knowledge that God had our circumstances in His hands. We are thankful for the odd jobs he was able to do over the summer. This job has been such an answer to prayer! Tim is happy, and enjoying the work. Thank you, God, for supplying our every need!
