Thank you Yohanan. Thank you for the beautiful prayer TenderReed. It's so good to have you back Amen to all the prayers for you my sis. :agree (Matthew 18:19) Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father. Hello RitaMay, It is so good to see you again and hear from you. Thank you for your prayer and for the beautiful scripture. Wonderful timing for it. I have a great friend who seems to have so much annointing on him. His prayers are powerful. I haven't been in touch with him for almost a year and I lost his phone number. I prayed that he calls me and he did call me almost a month ago. We are in touch again. He fasts and prays 2 days a week. I told him I want to fast and pray with him. Today, I am making chicken broth and that's all I am going to be eating. he does the same every Wednesday and Saturday. I asked him if can call me every Wednesday night for us to pray together after we have been fasting. He agreed. I am hoping with the combination of fasting and praying in agreement with someone whose prayers are so powerful that some things might change. I am also very grateful for the lovely brothers and sisters on Ritan who pray for me. I know your prayers are very powerful too. I have definitely sensed that. I love you all. May God heal us all, protect us and protect our families. May we be at the wedding supper soon enough having a great feast. Heidi, I’m praying for your circumstances to improve and that the employment doors open for a job you will love and that pays well. Try not to fear and keep your eyes focused on Jesus. You’re a child of the King and He promises to provide ALL your needs! These verses are the ones I cling to when the devil attacks with doubt and worry. Psalm 116:1-2 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. Be still and know that I AM God. Phil 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Matt 6:31-32 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Psalm 37;25. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Geri, thank you for your prayers and for the verses. They are good. Yes, I do need a job that I will enjoy. Most of my life, it hasn't been something that I enjoyed or wanted to do (with a couple of exceptions but they were short contract positions) I would really like to enjoy my work and use my talents. I also need a good pay. Thank you No problem, sister. I”m glad those verses are a comfort to you! FYI - I’m out of work myself. The company I was with went bankrupt in 2018. If the rapture doesn’t happen in April - June of this year ... I’m going to need work as well. It’s going to take a miracle because I live in a rural area. If I had known the company was going to go under I wouldn’t have move to this condo. I’m basically stuck here and too tired to re-pack and move again. I’m praying we all go upward soon! As far as wishing to being married to solve your problems - don’t look at Facebook. Majority of the people that post there are only bragging they have the good life. They don’t. Here is an example ... one of my cousins was married to someone who was just out for what little money he had. She wanted the expensive meals and would post - “hey everyone look where we are dining out yada yada yada”. Then it was renting a small boat for the day at the Jersey Shore. They had someone strategically take their picture to look like they were leaving the bay ... but the boat was STILL anchored to the dock and my cousin was puking off the sides of the boat in between photo shots. Yet his wife posted “hey everyone look ... we are sailing and having the time of our lives”. So Heidi you are not really missing out ... their marriage ended less than a year. She claimed to be a believer and just lied to him. He is glad to be single again and he is a believer waiting for the rapture to happen too. I know churches are notorious in looking down on the singles and divorced. I’m sure you faced this to with the “why aren’t you married?” Then they immediately push the most unattractive guy in front of you with a whole bunch of baggage. Eek no, thank you. My aunt was treated badly as well when they asked her where her husband was? They treated her like the plague when she replied she was divorced. I have a few college friends who married unsaved men because they wanted to be married and have kids. They admit they made a BIG mistake and aren’t happy. So cheer up and keep looking up because things are not always greener on the other side ... except in heaven! Woohoo! And its going to be golden up there as well! Hi Geri, thank you for taking the time to write all this to me. I am sorry you are out of work and hope you find something soon. I know how hard it is to move. I was doing OK earlier today then my manager comes to me and she is not sure about 2 of my classes, if I will continue teaching them or there will be some changes. I am so upset with the constant job insecurities. she mentioned that to me when she dropped by my class and my voice broke a few times when I was teaching. I left the school and have been crying badly all the way home. I also was hoping to buy insurance and be able to get my car on the road and now I don't think I can financially and might have to sell it. I was looking forward to driving it. I am so sick of the bus. I am so tired of this life and although all the signs are here, I am not hopeful at all cause we have been wrong in the past and left to rot in this world. I am so tired. Oh no, that would be horrible if you have to sell your car. I will include that issue in with my prayers for you ... along with that they don’t cut your teaching hours. Hang in there. Soon we will leave all this stress and burdens of this life behind. In the meantime what comforts me when things go horribly wrong is that Jesus knows the end from the beginning and that includes our lives. He has it all planned out and nothing is a surprise. We just need to have the faith to trust Him and He will direct our paths. Geri, thank you so much. My manger called me. she said there are 3 classes that I won't have any more as of April 1. I expected that for my Monday and Wednesday class because it was a long term supply. As for my Friday class, there is no more funding. She gave me an option of teaching an Enhanced Language Training (ELT) course on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings for a month or 2 until they find a qualified instructor. I am not qualified because the focus is on IT and I don't have that background. The only thing is that I already teach a class on Saturday. She said I can have the ELT class for a month or 2 and she will get a supply for my Saturday class so when they have the new instructor, I can go back to my Saturday class. I am also teaching 4 hours at a private school. They have a ministry inspection on March 26. If all goes well, they will add more classes and I will have more hours. I just thought of something which might bring more students to the school. Will see what happens. I’m shell-shocked the school is making drastic cuts like this in the middle of a school year. They really should of had enough in their budget for the entire year. Heidi, try not to worry .... because prophetic events are heating up and now with that announcement of Trump recognizing the Golan Heights belongs to Israel is VERY significant! There is a VERY good chance we could all be saying “see ya later to the world” in April! Keep looking up! Geri, It's not a regular school. These are English classes for newcomers. Most of the classes are in social service/settlment agencies. I was wondering how significant that is with the Golan Heights. I don't know.
