New chapter

Some of you may have heard our news that Trent is no longer employed at Mercer. It was quite a shock to us, as the news came on friday and was without much explanation. We've deduced though that Trent's immediate supervisor was taking credit for all Trent's work, and at the same time, bad mouthing Trent to the big boss in order to get rid of my awesome, hardworking husband. It's unfortunate for us on so many levels. Trent loved his job, and was great at it. We were feeling settled and really at home here in the middle of nowhere Washington. We were finally established in a church, and we hadn't moved in almost a whole year! Most people would say in this situation "well it's Mercer's loss," and that is so true, but it is ours as well. It's not fair, but neither are a lot of things in life. One of the good things though is that this said supervisor will be found out soon enough, when all the things Trent was doing are all of a sudden not being done. And as we all know, liars ugly faces can only be hid for so long! But that doesn't really do much for us anyway, so it's time to look forward.

Trent got a temporary job yesterday, to get us through the season, and then hopefully something permanent and with benefits will come about. We could use prayer, job leads and a good word though, if you think of us! We are being positive and pressing into the Lord, and that is always good! So there you have it, the latest in ourbeckerfamily news.

  2. We experienced this same thing and now his bosses are reportedly kicking themselves.
    However, there's no way my husband would go back because God provided him with a job tht was a pay cut but the benefits of this job and the joy he finds in it FAR outweigh what he thought he enjoyed at his former job.
    Hang in there.

  4. Still reeling from this news and very, very sad whenever I look at Lincoln Grade right outside our door because it always makes me think of you guys living up on the top somewhere. Still praying for this situation--that Trent will find a BETTER job (but still in Prosser, please Lord?). Okay, I'll stop being selfish. I hope he finds a job where you guys need to be, and that you are finally able to set down roots. Love you, Nicole!
