Thank you all for your prayers, both those which you have prayed as well as those which you may in the future pray.
First I thank God for allowing me to play a part in the saving of a soul/ministering of the message of Christ. I would also like to thank you Lord, for my family finally finding a good church and for the last few wonderful Sundays.
I pray that God will move in my life.
At this time, I am in a bad position at work. I was transferred to a group home under the supervision of a manager who takes clear preference to staff that will go out to the bars with her after work. The people under her heard rumours about the nature of my transfer and accused me of being a company spy (I am well kept, expensive vehicle, clearly educated). This was the root of the problem.
I suffered a tremendous amount of stress (not emotional conflict or whining, real gut wrenching physical stress) as things quickly went sour. I witnessed, and I gave the case for Christ, I was able to convert one individual to the Lord (thank you Jesus) and have given him all of the support and direction that I feel I can give him at this time.
My manager feels that I seem to give off the vibe that I feel like I am better than *them*, and that because I am an "intellectual" (which I am not, and if I were it would be irrelevant) that I need to learn to interact with the people that I work with on a base level rather than being psychologically intimidating.
I am first a college student, and second a worker, not the other way around.
The situation is escalating, people have threatened my life, the manager has not only allowed people to get away with being abusive, but ultimately is encouraging it. It is taxing me every second of the day. I worked the awake overnight (up for 26 hours, then home asleep for 4) and it was like being in heaven, because there weren't people intentionally misinterpreting me, telling lies and rumours about me in back rooms and trying desperately to catch me in a trap and get me fired.
If any of you remember my previous posts, this situation is worse then the one that I was in before and it has been giving me the feeling that I should not have spoken up and should have stayed where I was.
I put in for a transfer to another team (a fresh start with people I get along with, etc.) and the HR manager has been dragging it out for over a month (usually a couple of days).
I came to the end of my patience and am relying on God's working in my inner man right now.
My self image is starting to suffer, my self esteem is starting to plummet, I just feel miserable. I confronted several people and pleeded that if I had offended anyone that they please forgive me and tried to clear up misunderstandings. Everything appeared resolved, but then they all congregated upstairs and rekindled the torches. I feel like I can not talk to anyone, because I have been labeled wrongly!
WORSE YET; The angry management is not giving me overtime. My overtime is my lifeblood and I need 40 HOURS a PAYCHECK of OVERTIME just to support my family. Right now, I am getting none! So we are finally beginning to sink into debt.
It is new debt, and right now it is very small, God can fix this!
So:
I pleed Lord, please intervene and get me out of this place, please Lord, this is destroying me, this is destroying my career, my family and my education. Lord you are not limited in power, just say the word and whatever you have said will be done!
If you wouldn't have me work on another team, if you'd rather I work somewhere else for whatever reason, I have submitted resumes to other organizations. Help me to know what to do Lord, and help me to do whatever it is. Please work quickly and powerfully Lord. I am a vessel for you, let me not quench your spirit, I will do as you say!
Amen.
Please everyone, pray for us?
We will be praying for you.
In the love of our Lord,
