One of our Sisters in Christ works for an apartment complex in the nearby town. She said "What is the most exciting thing you can think of that could happen?" Didn't take a second to answer that. I said "Jesus is coming back and is here now and we're going home!" Well though that was about the most exciting thing I could think of it wasn't the excitement she wanted to tell me about. She said she needs my resume. Apparently the apartment complex she works for has several under the same company all the way down to Vassar, MI and all the way north of me to Gaylord, MI. She said they are looking for a full time maintenance guy and she has been filling their ears with the wonders of my talents. She said I would get at least 40 hours a week, have a company vehicle and other benefits. Now that is good news. God opens doors!!!!
Now keeping that in mind, my boss at the hotel took me aside and asked if I knew what was going on? I mentioned I know we are into the winter rates and things are getting tight so I know you would like me to cut back on hours and not spend money on repairs. (So far we had been scavaging from one room or another to keep other rooms open instead of spending money to keep all the rooms open.) He told me that within 6 days the bank is foreclosing on the hotel. It wasn't making enough money to keep it going and pay the mortgage so the bank is taking it. He did say in about a week and a half things would be better. I don't understand this. He said the bank is going to keep the hotel operating and he will be paid by the bank to manage it and he wants me to stay as the maintenance guy. He said that there would be money once the bank owns it to get things fixed that were put off...like the pool heater, light bulbs, exhaust fans, etc. He said in fact there would be so much work to do that he would hire another guy who works occassionally for him to help out. I am still scratching my head trying to figure out why a bank would invest any money into property that doesn't pay for itself.
So I can see the possibility of one door closing but God has lready opened another. Thank you Father.
Should I get the apartment maintenance position I'd be travelling the state...with detector in the vehicle. Vassar is fairly close to Warthog's place. I used to do a similar type work repair x-ray film processing machines. Always new things to see and friendly people to work with.
Again, thank you Father for knowing these things long before me and making provisions for me. Thank you. Thank you Jesus.
