Geri, there are many that are very focused on Nisan 1 per the Hebrew Cal. I was able to watch Berry Awe today and he believes we are still in 2022 and is offering Feb or March at the latest. He did a great job of explaining why it is not any later than 2023. The links to others was great affirmation as well. No doubt we are all very ready….. :prayer-hands: That's good news Geri -- I was a little deflated when the calendar rolled over on Jan 1st thinking that maybe the fig tree generation was mis-interpreted. But maybe there's more to the story. I was at an off-site company meeting yesterday and was chatting with another believer who works on our team and we were sharing all the powder kegs that are sitting on their fuses ready to be lit. With so many of them spread around the world, somethings going to give and set off a chain reaction. The enemy knows his time is near - and he seems to be releasing complete and utter chaos in this dark and dreary world. I haven’t seen a client in over 2 years. A couple of months ago he came looking for me. He has been homeless for 8 months and sleeping at a park. Before he left the office he said I need to see you again, I need an attorney because I pulled a knife at someone. The next appointment when we were talking over the phone to legal aid, he refused to answer a lot of questions and then got agitated and asked me hang up the phone. I was telling the agent that he is getting agitated and I am going to hang up. He started shouting at me to hang up, got up and started coming at me. I told him to leave the office but he just stood a few feet away from me. He finally went back to his seat. Anyway, if I have to see that guy from now on, it has to be at a bigger office with more people and a manager present. Another client walked in, I tried to help him, he got really nasty and confrontational. I confronted him about his behaviour, he left the office shaking. I was not well myself that day, wanted to call in sick. When he walked out, I was crying hard and had to pull myself together quickly because I had an online appointment in 5 minutes. A new client, referred to me by a family I helped a lot, was rude to me. I called his relative, she told me she will call him and ask him to apologize. He called me twice after I spoke to his relative but I did not pick up. I hope his relative told him that it was our agency that got them the nice townhouse they are living in now, along with many other services. Also, when their son got injured, I was with them at the hospital for hours because they asked me to be with them. A lady from another agency called me and told me that a client I referred to her has been sending her very aggressive emails and accusing her of things. She would have been scared about her job security but her manager knows her well enough so she is OK. That client is now posting horrible things about her online that she is considering suing her. I was very upset. I apologized for sending that client but she knows it’s not my fault. Things are getting so bad. Everyday, I just want to leave work and go back home. Heidi - can you form a break time or lunch time prayer group at work, to concentrate on praying together for peace, protection, and that God protects you all from aggressive clients? Or have you formed a few to meet and pray with, or pray on the phone with regularly outside of work? Have you looked for another position yet within that Company? Have you looked for other jobs around town? It seems the devil has the upper hand there in that line of work. Organized committed prayer would begin to change this, or at least give you the peace of protection. It seems there is an answer in those questions somewhere for change to come, but only you and your co-workers can make it happen. Take steps - ask the Lord if He has something for you elsewhere - does He want you to move along to something else. Or does He want you to stay there and bring prayer power to the job you have. Kolleen, thank you. My neighbor and childhood friend just came back to Canada after being away for 10 years. He is in Montreal now but is going to visit me and stay with me for a couple of days. I am going to consult with him about my situation. I have a prayer meeting with a couple of friends once a month. I will bring this up for prayer, but frankly it needs daily prayer. I will think about whom to pray with. Another thing with this job is I work with wonderful people. They are so caring and helpful. I feel safe going to work and being with my colleagues (not clients and others) I will ask a couple of colleagues who are Christian if they want to pray. A colleague who is Catholic told me she prays to get emotionally detached form things she is dealing with. what scared me more recently is that a client who had a meeting with one of my colleagues brought bed bugs with him. Another colleague passing by noticed them and gestured for my colleague to come out at once. they bought pest control in and changed the carpets to be safe. Now that client will be served over the phone. a couple of days ago, a manager sent an email about someone seeing bed bugs at another location, they bought pest control in and asked employees to go over info about bed bugs. there has also been so much violence on public transit that I am driving in bad weather. I asked my super at the building to help and he said he will go out with me somewhere were there is ice to practice by letting the car get out of control and then fix it. Heidi, Your situation definitely needs daily prayer. May I suggest that you form a prayer group with only women, if that is possible. Yes, I will try. Thank you so much, Yohanan.
