[Curtiss Cardinal]

well the first week of the new job is over, next week starts tomorrow, from parttime to 10 straight days in a row is a big shifting of the gears but I'm ok with it. Tomorrow the tests start. Prayers are still needed to help me through and be patient training is a set proceedor with this company and too slow for me but I just have to keep going at the pace they want. Thanks again everyone so very much for your faithfullness.

Prayers for wisdom, patience, and the humility to listen. Hope that doesn't sound critical or a put down.

Prayers continue Curtis. I too just got a new job and went from VERY slow business to running wide open all the time. It takes some adjusting. LOL

[Doc Nock]

Got ya covered up in more prayers, Curtiss!

Keep the shiny side up and the yap shut and ears open... they love that!  Coming from an old trainer!  

You'll do well.  After what you've gone through, there is a purpose there. Remember the lessons learned in those horrid months...and renew your patience.

Good luck with the physical adjustments! Get your rest! Take 2 asprin and send me $20 for the "house call"   :D    :p  

I'm just so happy for ya, bro! Keep the Son in your eyes!

Well The job has hit a spot to make my lingering job paranoia kick in, I've had schedule changes made at the last minute, Called and told not to come in tonight after I went in this morning at my scheduled time and told to come in tonight because they are short of people. Just pray this is just a slow period of business and nothing more is meant by it and that there will be a turn around and the job will be ok or that God will show me where to go from here. Whatever HIS will is.

[BenBow]

Amen & prayers continue

As you know from our conversations, Curtiss, it is sooo easy to get paranoid...and sometimes, it is with reason.

As you have said and we all try to live, regardless, there is always His promise to lean on!

Prayers up for things to remain stable...

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Well I went in tonight to myt job and was told I was being terminated because I "falsified a document in paperwork."I made a mistake in math or entered the wrong number somewhere. I falsified nothing. Nor did I steal the missing 100 dollars in the paperwork error. I am fighting this termination. Pray for me please, I would also ask that you boycot Heartland Food Corp businesses until I am reinstated. I ask this because I feel I have been unjustly treated, this was only my first week after training and I only recieved a total of 2 hours training on this paperwork proceedor I was doing. Mistakes happen with newly trained people, that is why the phrase "rookie mistake" is in the American lexicon. God Bless you all and thanks.

[BenBow]

Prayers sent for a sense of peace through this

[Doc Nock]

Dangnabbit, Curtiss, that is just wrong...

I'm so sorry to read this, bro.. I know how tough it was and how high a hopes you had...seems odd it would take them that long since your mistake and only now they decide to take plausable action? Something smells funny here...  :(

I'm so sorry, bro.  

You know we're all praying for an equitable resolution to this...

Keep the Son in your eyes!

I'm really feeling down today, I have been so unjustly treated in the last few years when it comes to work. People bearing false witness against me causing me to be terminated, being let go from a job simply because I was the highest paid person in the position just to mention a few and this one. I treat everyone I meet with courtecy, politeness and respect and I am ill treated in return. In spite of my faith I find myself begging God "WHY???????"
I'm not the a man on fire for God; but I love The Lord fully,I slip and fall in my daily walk more than some and less than many others. I don't ask for much in a job, Just enough pay to tithe 10% and have enough to meet my bills afterwards and I haven't made enough to live independently since 2002, when my catering company went belly up because the dot.com companies began tightening their belts before going under. When I moved back here to Indiana I started going to my Aunt's church where she is the pastor and several times I match the combined tithes of the entire rest of the congregation. When the Church needed a new water heater I paid for over half of it, same with the new heater. I did that because I felt called to even though it cost me more than a weeks pay in some instances and more than a months in others.I'm only stating a fact, I'm not trying to brag. It is just that this is background I why I think this is happening. That was when the devil started this campaign against me. Many of you have helped me in many ways even financially, I am grateful and I daily ask the Lord to bless you all richly. I have never prayed so fervently for anything as I did this job and I prayed often after I had it that God would give me the drive, the energy, stamina and skills to excell at it and preserve it. I don't know if I can handle another period of unemployment. I'm stressed to my very limits with this. I've even had thoughts of suicide. I'm at the end of my rope and I don't know if I have the strength to tie a knot and just keep holding on.

[Doc Nock]

Starting backwards....

Curtiss, I know it feels that way, but our faith has nothing to do with what we FEEL! Feeling is of the flesh. The spirit knows, trusts, believes. Faith is believing in that which cannot be proven. Suicide is, IMHO, giving up faith and buying into only that which our tiny minds can see and grasp!

I'm not much for public advice, but this latest experience of mine has show me some errors of my past, too.  One is focusing on what might of been, or worse, why what is has happened.

Preacher friend used to say when things get the worst, we know we're walking closer to God cause the devil has to turn up the heat afore losing us forever.  

As for suicide... feelings bro... feelings. Been a lot of talk lately about suicide... but you and I both know we might be tested to our breaking point...only for the purpose to drive us to our knees to admit that alone, we just can't... fill in the blank.

Only when we finally give up logic, rational though, fairness, and come to realize that whatever happens, we just are being driven to our knees to submit to HIS will...

Funny how easy the battle got when I tried that change alone... not that it works all the time for everyone. Your call, bro.

Let all that you've done in the name of the Lord go... talk to him. Open yourself to His will.

I found my greatest strength in the past 2 weeks when I confessed that it was all beyond me, and that there was no way I could do this alone... BINGO!

Could it be just that simple?  You decide.

I'm pulling and prayin for you, my friend. Mightily!

the darkest hour is just before dawn.

Keep the Son in your eyes!
