As many of you know Eddie and I didn't know whether or not he was going to have a job after the hospital here in Merced was finished. A ton of people got laid off at the beginning of the year, and things just weren't looking very promising.
We have been praying and fasting for months that we would soon hear something, know what was going to happen, and be freed from worry. The answer FINALLY came!
A couple of weeks ago Eddie was told that he would be staying for an extension to the hospital and that he would roll right in to the next project. This new extension is small and is called a "Linear Accelerator" or as they call it.... the LINAC. They will build a structure next to the cancer center for a new, state of the art cancer killing machine. The project should only take about 9 months and then they'll move on to the UC-Merced project.
Yesterday was a hard day for Eddie. When he started the project there were about 20 people in his office. At the beginning of the year they laid off a few, then a few were transferred, then they laid off more people....and so on. As of yesterday there were 6 people left in the office and 4, and I mean FOUR people were laid off.....the last 4. All who were left were Eddie and his boss who sees great potential in him.
Mike, Eddie's new boss, chose him from all the engineers to stay. He said that Eddie is a great student, and a very dedicated worker. We couldn't feel more blessed and happy.
I am so grateful for the power of prayer. I have to express that I know without a doubt in my mind that God listens to our prayers, and if we are faithful and patient He will answer them. Thank you to all of those who joined us in prayer and fasting, you are great friends of whom we will never, ever, forget.
