Prayer Request About Promotion

[rivqah]

I have been given the opportunity to apply for a promotion as an assistant manager of produce at the grocery store I work at. Please pray we make the right decision.

Just about a month ago Gary from Lilyband got a word for me that "a promotion was coming." The thing is that my husband is also up for a promotion soon. I asked him at the time if it was for me and he said he all he knew was that a promotion was coming. I don't know if God has a sense of humor but at times like this I wonder. Is this promotion for me or my husband?? I have always felt according to scripture that my place is in the home (Titus 2) but if your husband wants you to work and I am his helpmeet then should I go for the promotion? He often leaves things up to me but anyway I guess we have alot of thinking and praying to do.

Well like I said he left it up to me. It doesn't pay enough for me to give up all that time from the home. My husband said the same thing. I really enjoy the job I have now making salads all day. I cut fruit and pray, that's all I do and I love it! Summer was hard in cut fruit and now that it's fall I'm looking forward to the break. Most of all I enjoy the fact that I can pray all day long while I make salads and see my kids when they get home from school. It could lead to management but my family is more imoportant to me. God will provide and I believe that promotion is for my husband.

I should add here too that Titus 2 I don't believe is a commandment. I believe it is up to the husband and either way you go is ok as long as your husband agrees. It doesn't matter if you work or stay home. God gives grace either way.

Looks like I might be applying for that position after all. I talked to my manager today and the pay is really good. My husband said if it is good then take it. Please keep me in prayer.

I still need prayer about this decision. I am having second thoughts because I will be spending two extra hours away from home and I am not getting enough sleep as it is.
