Hello to Dr Eric

My unworthy prayers I offer for your struggle.

I trust in the Panagia and she will cover you in her mantle of protection and support and find a resolution.

God is so good! Dr. Eric whenever God has made a major move in our lives he does it at Pascha. Here it is Christmas! The blessing he has waiting for you is going to be amazing. Through all of this may you see the Incarnation of Christ in a new understanding and love.

I thank you all for your prayers, those who posted and those who have kept their prayers in the silence of your hearts. I am currently posting on online websites and with employers. I have an interview in Lincoln on Friday, I have another interview on St. Barbara's Day on 4 December. More and more keep coming, I am hoping to move back to the St. Louis area though.

Pani Rose,

I sure would like a nice Christmas present from God.

Well, besides the obvious Greatest Present of All!
_________________________________________________________________

I wish everyone a Blessed Nativity Fast/Advent!

May the Risen Savior who humbled himself into the form of a slave and who became a baby for our sakes comfort us in this Holy Season!

Glory to Jesus Christ!

Glory Forever!

Dr. Eric, I empathize with you more than you know. It hurts to be treated that way, particularly when you know the whole thing is totally unjust. Don`t let it affect your self-image too much. Just remember Christ will not judge us by what others think of us The same thing almost happened to me two months ago and things are still shaky. I would just quit but until I find something else . . .jobs being not all that plentiful in Michigan but I`m still looking just in case. It was a "not fitting" in with the clique thing. Even my immediate superviser said she was very surprised at my reprimand. Anyhow I`m sure you will find something soon, thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this time.

Dear Dr Eric,

Prayers for you, Big Guy!

And I can think of even better names to call a former employer than "Apostate!" wink

You forgot:

Trepanation
Bloodletting
Leeching
And Vivisection

Thank you for your prayers.

I would like to offer my prayers for Y'all and ask for prayers for the young female doctor who is still with the group.

Prayers, Dr. Eric, and will be keeping you in thought and prayer for the Lincoln interview and that of Dec 4th; and if St. Louis is the place you might wish to go to.... may all work out and become clear soon.

Then he told me about 2 weeks ago that whatever bonuses that he implied were null and void as he wasn't making enough money.

Oh, and my mentor told me last week he was going to sell his practice to someone else because "The Master" of the lineage recommended the other person who has been doing that style of acupuncture longer than me.

Caveat Emptor. Beware of any verbal contracts, not that contracts in writing are any better.

On the plus side, I have an interview in Lincoln, Nebraska on Friday.

I may just quit the whole racket all together...

Notice my mood: laugh

Prayers for the Apostate...

frown Prayers. But as each door closes, another one opens.
What about teaching at the university level? You've got the degree and you seem to like to help people and teach them?

Sorry, to read about your employment problems. And so close to Christmas. What a jerk of a boss.
It seem to be the curse of our generation to have an insecure employment situation. And our fathers who worked at the same job or for the same company their wholes lives cannot understand what is wrong with us.

We are not the problem; it is a different world.

You will be in my prayers. I find chanting the Akathist to Jesus Christ helps me when I am stressed out.

Lord of the Powers be with us, for in times of distress we have no other help but You.
Lord of the Powers, have mercy on Dr. Eric giving him all the grace necessary to find excellent employment for him and for all of those seeking employment on this forum.

All your brothers and sisters in Christ are with you. May God put you where you belong.

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit send your servant to where he can both serve and support his family.

PS I know the stress is difficult, but I think you will look back with thanks one day.

Knowing that God closes one door and opens another, my prayers for you and your family will be that the Most Holy Trinity will guide you in all of your ways and that you will see God's message to you as he places His angels in your path to help you to see His vision for you.
Many prayers for you all.
