I Need Your Prayers

Everything seems to be going wrong in my life. I have things going on in my health, marriage and employment. For the last 2 1/2 months, I've been driving "solo". My company dropped a bombshell about a week ago saying that they are no longer going to haul "refrigerated" commodities and they are switching over to flatbed. Now, I'm in the process of looking for another job. Flatbed work is physically demanding and I don't think I'll be able to handle it very long. I'm upset that my boss would be so selfish and insensitive because the "bomb" was dropped when I was in Ohio. I haven't been home since April and I don't believe I can get home until next week. When I spoke with my boss the other day, I mentioned to him that I NEED to go home. He acted like he didn't realize that I haven't been out so long (whatever!).

Marriage wise, I can't go into details. I still feel the sisterhood bond but I know that this is a public site. All I can say is that I pray that things will get better.

Health wise, I'm still healthy but I've been suffering neck, back, and shoulder pain for the last three weeks. Some of my friends say that it's stress-related. This is a serious problem because like I said before, the new assignment is physically demanding.

Please pray for me.

Re: I Need Your Prayers

Plat, I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Please remember no weapon formed against you shall prosper. The bigger the adversity that you endure, the greater the blessing you will enjoy. Remain faithful my sista and hold on to his word.

Re: I Need Your Prayers

Plat the sisterhood has your back!!!!! The devil is a liar! I will uphold you and your hubby in prayer! Have you been to see a doctor about your health? It sounds stress related, but the only way to be sure is to have your doctor examine you. You continue to remain faithful, and God will see you through. Be encouraged my sister!!!

Re: I Need Your Prayers

Plat-God will never allow you to go into what he cannot pull you thru..I know right now those are just words, but allow those words to sink into your spirit...just know that God loves you and you will be delivered from the pain, heartache, confusion and everything in between--it will all work out for YOUR good and HIS glory!

I am a music buff...when I am down in my spirit I always turn to music for my comfort...this is my favorite song...when I was at the lowest point in my life after losing my son, this is what I meditated to daily and it brought me out..I pray it does the same for you..love ya!!

Plat, take it one day at a time and everything will work out for the better. You should go see a doctor and let him or her determine what could be going on with your health. Good luck sis.

Re: I Need Your Prayers

The girls are right! We got your back the the devil IS a LIAR! God wouldn't excite you just to leave you hanging...the devil wants you to think that God was wrong, and that you were wrong fro trusting in God, but it ain't so! You hang in there and stay in prayer....AS far as the marriage stuff all I can say is sometimes we women have to hold the hold family down in prayer....!!!!

We've been Happily Married 2 Years and Counting:)

Re: I Need Your Prayers

It's official now. When I get back to Florida, I'll be looking for another job. I spoke with my boss and they suggested that I take a few weeks off to think about it. There's no thinking with this, I have to move on. The job is physically demanding and I can't deal with it. Driving isn't so bad, it's the "strapping down and securing" the load. I'm going to try to post pics so you can see what I mean.

And as if this wasn't bad enough, I was planning on moving into a new place when I got back but now that's probably on hold now. I may have to move in to my parents' house for a few weeks. That's a hard pill to swallow because I've always been independent.

Please keep me in your prayers.

Born Blessed!

Re: I Need Your Prayers

I will definitely keep you lifted in prayer. The devil is SO busy, sometimes what helps me is the knowledge that the devil can't do ANYTHING that God does not allow, so as crazy as it feels right now, God is allowing this to happen for some reason. It might be that you are about to get any even BETTER job then the one you currently have. There is going to be a praise at the end of your storm, I'm going to pray for your strength and continous faith as you go through...

Re: I Need Your Prayers

I was hoping the job would at least work out. But it may be a blessing in disguise. A job closer to home may help heal your marriage. Love is trust and forgiveness. With all of us praying for you, you WILL come out on top. I am praying for your mental and emotional health and the health of your relationship. You are loved always.

Re: I Need Your Prayers

Hey Plat. I just wanted to encourage you through this difficult time and to bear witness that God will work it out. I'm coming out of a similar situation and just when I thought I couldn't take anymore and I started questioning EVERYTHING I took it to Jesus and can now claim victory! I know waiting can be hard but continue to trust in Him and He will see you thru.
I'm praying for you.

Re: I Need Your Prayers

Thank you for your prayers. I'm so emotional now. One minute I want to cry, then I want to scream. I'm in Louisiana today, hoping to head back to Florida. Much my aggravation comes from my job so I'm praying that I can get something better. I lost my Debit card yesterday so now, I feel even worse.

Please continue to pray for me.

Born Blessed!

This is the freight I was hauling that day:

Re: I Need Your Prayers

Here's an update, Ladies. There was some drama with my company over the weekend. The boss' wife and I got into an argument and I'm no longer employed. She even called the cops on me so I ended up having to take all of my belongings out of the truck (it was raining). To add insult to injury, I ended up giving my dog away. I'm still praying that I can get another job soon. I have a few good leads, ow I'm waiting for some call backs.

Please, please, please continue to pray for me. Thank you so much for your prayers thus far.

Born Blessed!
