Prayer request in the middle of a busy week

We are in the middle of quite a busy week here but I wanted to quickly post and ask for a prayer request. Monday was Mike and My first thirty forty something group meeting at church.( I will post on this at a later time ) It was supposed to start at six and I was sure we would be late as Mike was waiting for Cindy at work and I was hurrying about to get some chicken soup made for dinner while trying to prepare for us to be at this meeting on time. I went to get cleaned up as the phone rang . Michael told Mike that I was in the bathroom and Mike left a message for me call him.I did and he informed me that Cindy was out of work and that she needed to get her resume updated and sent out. I asked why and he handed the phone to Cindy who explained that the doctor for whom she has been working is experiencing financial problems and had talked to her telling her that due to a former worker writing off bills of friends he is now in serious financial trouble and has to cut expenses. Her and two others pay checks( plus the termination of the responsible party) being among the cuts. He did tell her that she could remain working three or four weeks more until she is able to find another job. This could be a blessing as she may be able to get an evening job that would make applying at her choice nursing school a possibility, however Cindy likes this job and is not happy about it ending. Cindy's instructor may have options for her to stay such as having her hours cut for a few months until the doctor can recover while instead of working Cindy can take a phlebotomy class .
Last night Cindy and I attended Mass and a Baptism of the Holy Spirit afterwards. Our prayer includes that the Spirit will guide Cindy to where God plans for her to be. Your prayers for the same would be appreciated.
