There is power in prayer (James 5:16)!
First, I appreciate each and every prayer.
As you may recall, I lost my manager job on June 16. The outgoing manager was rude, mean, and impolite. He also asked me to lie about the QA samples. I said I did not feel comfortable lying.
In the last few days, 5 companies have given me opportunities to interview.
I had a great interview with a company that has a contract on the army base. A few minutes ago, HR contacted me and asked me to come on the base next week and meet them. I will do that. The job is a really great opportunity with good pay and benefits.
The company that I thought was a grocery store turned out to be different stores, including gas stations. The position they are looking for is a gas station manager. The pay is really good. In the past, I turned down looking at gas station jobs because I know alcohol sales is a big thing and I really don’t want anything to do with it.
I am trusting God to lead me (Prov 3:3-5). I trust that he will put me in the right position at the right moment in time. The church in New Mexico hired somebody so that is no longer an option. I view that as God leading me away from there. I am OK with that.
I’ve been doing DoorDash to make ends meet. I have worked every day this week. Last night, I had a rough night with dreams, but I still got up at 5:15 AM and went and worked for an hour and a half and made $39.
I’m so thankful to God for DoorDash. It’s not something that I would want to do forever, but it is nice having a means to make money until a regular job happens for me.
Marriage
When a significant day or holiday passes; it makes me really sad because I think about the memories that my family created on those days. It also causes me deep sadness because if there was ever a chance for reconciliation, one would think a significant holiday or birthday would cause the other person to repent.
I miss my wife deeply. She did some really bad things to me. I honestly don’t see how she lives with herself, knowing what she’s done. But I stand prepared to forgive her and love her, like Christ of the church to the best of my ability. God, please move the mountain of separation.
If you followed my story, you know that I am living in the basement of a lady that owns this million dollar home. She let me move in the same day that I was let go for my job. It’s like God was blessing me with one positive due to the one negative. Recently, a tree fell down, covering up one of the roads coming up to the house. Today, I was able to move the big tree enough so that traffic could come up to the house. The owner was very happy that I did that for her. I’m grateful that God gave me the opportunity to show my appreciation for letting me stay here for free.
I appreciate each and every prayer.
I try and give updates on my situation so that I can show the power of prayer. I’ve never had 5 job interviews given to me this quickly.
Thank you, God!
I still do not have a job, but with the view, the opportunity gets closer and closer.
In an hour or so, I will go do some more DoorDash. I cannot afford to lose my phone because it gives me the ability to do DoorDash. So I need to make a payment.
Please continue to pray:
The reconciliation of my family.
My wife will repent.
A new career, better than the last.
My own place to live.
Strength.
I am so hoping that my weeping that has endured for a night will soon turn to joy in the morning (Ps 30:4-5). I am so exhausted from the pain. God, please move the mountain of deep sadness and distress. Please lift me up!
Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ.
