Another time a person called and said I needed to fix a bug on my windows computer. I use Linux, not windows. However, I tried to talk to him in general.

He said he lived in India and didn't really have many options for work. He said he didn't feel right about lying to people like he was. I talked to him about Jesus and suggested he ask Jesus for a better job. I also suggested that if he received a better job offer in the near future that he consider the possibility that Jesus is real and that He has a great plan for his life.

We talked about 15-20 minutes. I still hope God worked a miracle in his life and provided him an honest fair paying job to demonstrate God's power in his life.

I still pray for him from time to time.

Telemarketers are people too and need Jesus just as much as everyone else. If they will listen to the gospel on the phone, why not tell them.

Amazing testimony that you have related. The Word of God is not returned void. Either the man you talked to will benefit or someone that he knows will benefit. There is no telling the good that may come as a result of you taking 20 minutes of time talking to a telemarketer about Jesus. Most peeps would have simply hung up immediately.

Amen.

The word of God is not returned void.

That at times we forget.

It's not just the word but also walking the word.

A little bit of love.

We sow he reaps.

At least you are tired because of all you are doing. At my age you don't have to do anything to be tired.:(
I'm tired, too...................;)

Hey guys.. I felt the same way all the time but I have a very simple solution... run a mile everyday (or jog or walk it). It will work wonders, i promise!! :rolleyes:

I’m on this new medication, to help me focus and not think way out in left field... and I can’t help but think that maybe... this new medication is making me even more tired than I used to be? But if I take it during the day... I’m still fighting sleep. And I can’t be doing that while at work. And I’m only a morning coffee drinker unless i am 100% absolutely desperate for caffeine, then I’ll get a small cup of coffee. I just hate being so tired that all the energy I have is to get dressed and that’s it. I haven’t done my actual make up since Easter and I haven’t really cared too.

And it’s not that I don’t need it, but it gives me confidence in myself that i can accomplish my goals and not let the enemy take my life over.. but like I said, I just don’t have the energy to do that anymore and it just really sucks.

Medication has made a world of difference for me. (I have ADHD.) I pray you can find the correct combination to suit you.

Lately, I have been drinking coffee energy drinks in the morning and am finding that helpful. FWIW

Medication can cause that, i would ask doc to maybe try new med? It is a rolllercoaster, you help one problem then cause another.,

keep hour spirits up sis, praying for you
