Need to Vent and Need Prayer........

I haven't been around on the forum much for the past couple of weeks. I had to go out of town and had a half dozen other things to tend to. Hope you all are doing well! There's no way I can go back through each and every post to respond - I will read them, but there will probably be too much to reply to. Just know that all of you are in my prayers and - WELCOME to the new folks!

I could really use your prayers. I know that things aren't looking good in education right now - in Alabama, anyway - and that teachers are being laid off and cut, but I believe that MY God is able to work on my behalf and show His favor in finding a teaching position for me... that is close enough to home that I could reach my parents quickly in an emergency. It's my hearts desire to be back in the classroom, plus, I have had just about all of the hotel that I can stand. I'm sick of all the drama, the lies, the trouble makers... the whole thing. I'm SICK of being treated like a dog by the ones who expect and demand the most of you, while giving you nothing but grief and a hard time in return. The last straw came yesterday when I found out that our sales manager used my name and a general conversation we had and twisted EVERY word we said and then added a bunch of lies on top of it, and ran to the owner of the hotel with it just to use it all against the general manager. I didn't say those things! She was trying to cause trouble for him and used my name to say that I told her a bunch of stuff about him that has caused him a lot of trouble with the owner. It has also caused trouble and/or tension with some other people as well. I would NEVER do anything like that!

The owner is a raving lunatic who has multiple personalities. She is wrapped up, and high up in, the Hindu religion. A walking time bomb that employees dread to see coming through the doors. Unstable, snooty, and cares for nothing or no one... only her millions. When you have a conversation with her it's like talking to the Riddler! She talks in riddles and in circles. Total confusion! She will not hesitate to shred you to bits for no reason and not even give you a chance to respond. I have been shredded by her a few times in the past, but it's been a while... until today. I was totally caught off guard when she let me have it up one side and down the other!!! Over what???? I still don't know!!!! The stuff I told you about above wasn't even mentioned. It wasn't over my performance... HECK, I don't know what it was all about. It didn't make sense, SHE didn't make sense!! Riddles and circles... circles and riddles. I've never seen anything... anyone... like it before! I didn't quit, but I came mighty close to it. I just need to get back to teaching. That looks impossible in the natural right now, but I know that God is able to open doors and move on my behalf. I don't want to stay at the hotel any longer (but I have to for the income, until I can make a change), and I don't want another type of job, which would probably be hard to find right now anyway with the economy the way it is. Would you all please pray that God will work something out for me to have a teaching position when school starts back at the end of the summer??????? Or, BEFORE??? I would sure appreciate it!!!

drama, rumors, lies, confusion, misunderstanding/miscommunication and all. My boss had thought I quit. No idea how that got started. I had to sit down and tell him if I ever quit, I will do it face to face after we discuss the problems and so on.

You have my prayers Lisa.

We know that the steps of a righteous man or woman are ordered of God. Ask yourself this: Why has God got me where I am ? Could this be my mission field for now ? Have I fulfilled all that God has wanted me to do where I am at ? If you can't talk to the man or woman about God, then talk to God about the man or woman!!! Everyday we have the opportunity to evangelize, this isn't always a door to door thing, it can be just dropping a little nugget, or just a good morning. Let your light so shine!!! " Lord we all have circumstances and situations that can get quite uncorfortable, So Father, I ask you to work on behalf of Lisa to strengthen her to be able to stand in the days ahead!! Oh Lord give her a peace that surpasses all understanding, we of ourselves can do nothing, it's only by your spirit Lord that we can do all things. Lisa, most people usually give up just before there is a breakthrough, and then they never get to see the end result. Be of good cheer and when you've done all you can do to stand, stand therefore!!!! One man in Christ is a Majority. Bless You in Jesus name!!


Love in Christ

Hi Lisa - I have always found that by applying many times a job would come through. I taught HS for 27 years here before retiring so I know you would be better off doing that instead of working with a bunch of misfits.
Hang in there - look into all neighboring county's job possibilities - it only takes one opening. I'll pray for the Lord to guide you along, steve in so az
 
Keeping you in prayer
 
Hi Lisa! I agree with Ronaldj2's prayer but would like to add this: As long as you have to work in the hotel (my daughter has had many problems also working with the other housekeepers and managers in the motel in MO), but I talked to her and with prayer told her to be kind and don't complain about anything and just get along as much as possible. She is one like me, who tells it all and not many people want to hear it, as they have enough problems of their own! I am not saying you do this where you work, but a troubled spirit can show through, especially to those who have not Jesus in their lives and are off on a trangent in their inner self and take it out on others around them!

I will certainly pray for you and your situation, just like I do for my daugher, Tami, and ask God to find favor with you both in your present jobs and for opening doors in the teaching job you want! There is nothing impossible with God, but He may want you to witness there longer and finish His plan for you at this job and then move you on to a better one! We need to show ourself approved as a workman of God, for our good and for His purpose and then He will make us rulers over many things!

When I worked and couldn't seem to get along with a few, who could feel my good spirit and theirs was sending sharp, stinging, fiery darts....I would pray for God to either change their ways, or move them on out or move me on out! There was one person, who I had quit talking to, because she didn't like me and I assumed I didn't like her! Well, I went to church with a friend of mine at an Assembly of God Church when I was visiting her! After Bro Randy quit preaching, I asked him, if he had heard Ginny and I talking about the problem I had at work and he said NO but the Holy Spirit did! He had said, Do not quit talking and igoring others who aren't living the way they should and get along by showing them Who Jesus is in you! Well, let me tell you, when I went to work the next time, I said hi to this lady and called her by name...can't remember her name now....she absolutely was surprised and shocked and from then on we spoke civily to each other! I always tried to get along with everyone, but there are a few that you just cannot and by putting them in God's hands, He will work it all out!

Keep smiling a Big Jesus smile and pray, each morning: Dear Lord, please give me the strength to go through this day and the power to overcome! Please let me be a light of hope and happiness to those who need your love, guidance and peace! Amen! It sounds like to me, with all that seems to be burdening you, is getting you down and you need more rest and relaxation and peace that passes our own understanding and turning it over to God, Who handles it in His love and care! His Yoke is easy (for carrying our burdens) and our burdens are easy for Him to handle, but we mustn't take them back upon ourselves again once we have prayed and given to Him all our troubles!

I wish you well and I know in God's timing and in His own way that all things will work out for you and yours, so hold oon to your faith in Jesus and don't let that old devil get you down! Speak the good word of God to Him and he will flee!

My neighbor went off her high horse to me one time and was going all the way back to the time she moved into her home about others....I just looked at her and said, Anna Maria, you are my friend and neighbor and I love you! It stopped her ranting and accusing right then! She went home and the next morning she came over, looking sheepish, and kind of apoligized.....as she is not one to say she is wrong or ask forgiveness....but we are not as close in friendship as we once were, but I still treat her nicely and try not to step on her toes with any remarks she may not like or find offensive, which is easy for her to do!

Sorry, this is so long, but God's plan is for you to spread His goodness and His Word wherever you are, for His plan is always better than ours! It will all work out with Jesus....YOU WILL SEE by keeping on, keepin' on for Him! :angel:

God Bless! Betty
 
Thank you ALL so much for the prayers and encouragement! I really appreciate all you guys, more than you will ever know! It means A LOT to know you have people you can talk to and that they will lift you up in prayer.

Im praying for you and I hope that you can get a good teaching job and the economy will get better for everyone.
 
That's what the Body of Christ is about: WE are bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. Joints and bands that supply strength and encouragement to one another. The public education system needs lots and lots of good God fearing Christian teachers. Well its a beautiful sunny satruday morning it"s also 21 degrees out, going with my brother to and old amusement park /casino with old picnic spots and such should be fun!! It is supposed to warm up to about 50, I sure hope so as it has been a long cold winter here in Western Ma.


In Christ,
