In just two days I will be arriving in Southern California. I am going there to help my Mom move out of her appartment and into her new home that the Lord has blessed her with. I haven't been back to Southern Cali now for a year and three months so I am really looking forward to this trip. Living this far from my hometown and more importantly my family has been really tough especially being this far away from my Mom! This is the first time that I have lived almost 3,000 miles away from her and hopefully it will be the last as this is just too far! ;)
I wanted to take this time and update my friends and family that may or may not know about the challenges that my Mom has been facing in these last couple of years. She has been looking to purchase a house now ever since Richie and I moved to North Carolina back in April of 2007. We have all been praying that God would put her where He saw fit and God willing one day she would be able to own a house again and begin a new chapter in her life. I must admit I was growing a tad impatient and was wondering what God was doing and if His timing would ever prevail. But atlas as always God's grace proved to be ever sufficient and He had just the right house in mind for my Mom. She has had one of the fastest escrow's in history I do believe and is about to receive the keys to her new home any day now. We are hoping to go there Friday evening or Saturday morning after I arrive there in California. Yes she is waiting to turn her key for the first time until I am there with her and I am sooo honored by her decision to do so. I stand amazed once again by God and I have felt His prescence with her through this whole process and I praise Him for His answers to our many prayers!! Now I continue on to the biggest prayer request right now that is much needed, my Mom's job situation.
Oh where do I begin with this issue?! As many of you know my Mom works for San Bernardino county and has for some time now. She is now in the management field in the Medical Records department at a local medical center. She is under an EXTREME amount of stress there and the department is in complete chaos. The people who are in higher management are completely unable to please and they act more like tyrants than fellow employees. They yell at not only their office workers but more importantly their supervisors, which is where my Mom is grouped. This stress has caused many health problems and challenges for several of the employees in that office. One lady has had significant heart distress and many of them have suffered severe headaches, stomach problems, nerves that are on edge, and have a hard time functioniong while at work and often times even away from the office as well. There are a few individuals who have processed transfer papers and are willing to go to another office to escape the absolute chaos. My Mom is one of those individuals. She has been told that she is the 17th supervisor there in the last two years and that she has now lasted the longest, I know sad huh?! This has made me angry at them but more importantly I am greatly concerned about my Mom's health. Her blood pressure has raised since working there and she has been dealing with a few health concerns for awhile all because of her job! So my prayer is that God will place her in a new job position that will not be nearly as stressful as this one is and where she can finish her last few years working for the county before retiring. Please I ask all of you, friends and family to pray with me about this issue. I ask that you will lift her up to the Lord and ask for God's will to be done. Just as He placed her in her new home, I ask that He will deliever her from this work environment quickly in order for her health to improve. If you have any prayer lists at your local church could you please put my Mom on there for me? She needs all the prayers she can get and I know she would really appreciate it a lot as I do as well. Father we lift up my Mom to you right now and we ask that you will intervene and deliever my Mom from this awful situation at work. I ask that your will be done and I ask that you give her the strength to be able to hang in there until something else comes available. In your precisous name I pray, AMEN!! Thank you all for praying with me and for my Mom. I know God is going to do a mighty work in her life as He already has! He is mighty to save indeed!!
Blessings to you and your family,
