I have several items I want to bring up here.
First, I want to give thanks to God. I had a prayer request several days ago I put on some thread that I went to the doc for some pain I was havig under a scar I had surgery on. The pain got better, but there was still a lump under the scar, which was worrisome because there was also a mole that my mom thought was new on top of the lump.
Well, the lump is getting smaller and smaller and is almost gone....
This is very good news, though I will have to keep an eye on the mole and go back in 5 weeks to check and see if it has changed.
Thanks be to God for shrinking that lump!
I also have a prayer request. I need money for college and I was all set up to have a great-paying job for the past couple weeks of the summer that would have given me over 1000 bucks. My mom wanted me to wait to get a job this summer because of some surgery that we were not sure about the timing of. Well, that won't be this summer so I went looking for a job a couple weeks ago. The only type of work that I would be hired for for just a few weeks was a temporary position. I found a great one packing food with great pay. Anyway, it was supposed to start Monday, with orientation before. However, I called last week and they said the company that needed the temps is waffling now. They said it could be the 5th.....I called today and now they are saying it might be the 12th before they start. The temp place also added the company is now saying they may not even need anyone. Please pray that they will start sometime next week, not the 12th, but if they do start later, it will be the 12th, not any time later.
Please pray that they will stop delaying and decide to continue with what they said they would do.....hire temporary workers.
If they don't, pray God will give me a different way to gain some cash before school starts. My goal is to pay at least half of the college cost per year ($3000 after scholarships/loans) and that 1000 bucks would have helped out a lot....please pray that somehow I can still get the money I was going to with that job. Pray that my work study job during school will pay a lot.
I can't express how angry it makes me feel that this company says it will hire people and then it decides it may not after all. They have broken a promise and that is not acceptable.
Praying with you brother.
