Please pray

[Mandy]

I would appreciate some prayers.
I am having problems at work and with a couple of people there.
I really enjoy what I do, but am thinking of leaving.
Please pray that perhaps God if it is His will that a door will open up somewhere as I seek His will.

I am thinking that as soon as our debts are paid off that I should stop working and stay at home, oh how I long to do that!

What is it that you want? The word says to make YOUR requests know to God.

I will pray that God will give you wisdom in this situation.

God bless you,

[Mandy]

Thanks for praying. I guess I want to eventually be able to stay home full time and maybe find a better job until I can, but I don't mind working. I just can't stand the hostility at work anymore.

 

[OldBadfish]

Mandy, I will pray for you too! Would you care to tell us what your specific problem is at work? Are you being harrassed?

Anyway, if you'd rather not talk about it, I will pray that you will have courage and the wisdom to make the right choices.

Well at work lastnight I was told that at 10pm that I needed to help recover so I said ok. I was told by my head boss to make sure I did certain things before I left. Well I was did, but a certain project I needed to do took me longer than I thought it would.
So this manager came up to me around 10:30 and asked me, What exactly did you get done tonight? Inferring I didn't do anything. So I started telling him what I had done and he says, Well for future reference when I tell you that you need to recover, you need to do it. His attitude was hideous and extremely rude. I did not deliberately not do what he told me to do, I am not like that. I also have noticed lately he has been giving looks of disdain and if I say something to him he ignores me. The thing is that I have done nothing to this person, in fact I have only spoken to him a few times. He does though from what I can see have a rather large ego and is snobby.
There is another manager who seems to really enjoy talking to me like I am a 3 yr old and was talking garbage to my head boss about me. It's like they only like certain people and everyone else can kiss their feet.
I have never in my life worked at a place that is so gossipy and mean.
Maybe I am just being too sensitive. I tend to think of myself as being kind and a softy and forgiving, but I am really struggling with the constant garbage there. My head boss is new and supposedly there was going to be changes implemented to keep the managers from loafing off, but it has gotten worse, now they have attitudes. I know I can find another job and quit there, I guess that is what I want, to find another job. I would love to be able to find a job in a Christian atmosphere. Oh well I have babbled enough.

First let me say that I know it can't be a pleasant working enviornment. It sounds bad and I can understand how hard it can be on you. I will pray that you find a better job. I for one know you give your all. That's not fair. I know that the Lord will bring you to where you belong. Be strong.

 

[Mandy]

Well I think I am over reacting. I guess I am just tired of it all and it was the straw that broke the camel's back. I am just going to look at it this way, Jesus died for these people too and they need Him. I am just going to leave it at the Lord's feet and look for another job, and if it His will I will find one. Thanks everyone for your prayers.

 

[OldBadfish]

Mandy, It's a terrible feeling when things are going smooth at your job and then, wham, the whole atmosphere changes and you are treated like an outcast. I know you used to love your job and I am sorry you are receiving this kind of treatment!!

Can you turn to a district manager or something?

I will pray you get fair treatment or a better, more fulfilling job.

 

[Mandy]

You know I really would love to go back to school and be a teacher. I know God will do His will and I will end up where He wants me, because I have to remember the He is my life. It's strange though I went through such a dry spell spiritually for so long, God is making up for it.

 

[Kristen]

Well whatever happens I'm sure you will be happier. I'm sure the Lord will bring you to where you belong.

 

[Mandy]

God just may be opening a door for me as I write this.

 

[MizDoulos]

Hi, Mandy ~ will be praying for you. It is sometimes difficult to work with others as we all come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. I can relate to what you're going through. Hang in there, Mandy!

 

[JohnR7]

Whatever work we do, we should do it as onto the Lord. People may or maynot be happy with us, but that does not really matter anywhere near as much as God being well pleased with us. After all, if they fire us, it is God who is going to take care of us. Does anyone one know how to clean up a keyboard after a three years old drips his popcicle all over it? Thanks, JohnR7

 

[Mandy]

Thanks MizDoulos. I am just going to continue to do my job and not take people's attitudes personally. I was a stay at home mom for many years and I guess I need to just relax, after all God is in charge.

John, I agree.
I think it sounds like it may be time to get a new keyboard! Maybe a q-tip will work.

 

[fieldmouse3]

I just prayed about your situation....I hope you find that open door soon!

 

[Mandy]
