About the freaking out last week...

I have had my current job for 19 ½ years. In my previous job I had a supervisor who was not a Christian. For the rest of this email I will refer to this person as “The Boss”. The Boss had no morals. The Boss did not care what came out of The Boss’s mouth in front of the employees. The Boss regularly talked about who the Boss was sleeping with to get needed items for the office...ie...computers, printers etc. The Boss had the mouth of a Sailor. The Boss was married and also having an affair with a co-worker. The Boss talked about this affair openly. The Boss had us lying our way through certain situation. The Boss openly cheated and falsified records and documents. I found myself having to react to this behavior and I did not like how I was having to behave. I was complaining about my job a lot. I was miserable. There was another dynamic to the whole mess and that was that The Boss was not very sympathetic about me having a special needs child. The Boss would not let me take the time off that I needed to care for my daughter. Finally one day I was so fed up I gave my two week notice. I could not afford to quit my job and I also knew that I could not afford to keep working under these conditions. God works wonders in our lives and because I quit when I did, my current job just fell into my lap. God’s timing is perfect!

Both of my bosses that I have had at my current job were wonderful and good Christian men. When the time came for us to get a new supervisor I was concerned and nervous. Before I could see that everything was going to work out, I only knew one thing and that is I was married to the most wonderful man and he would stand beside me through anything because we are a team. We are a team and I can count on him to listen to me and help me with my fears. If I was going to be faced having to work in conditions that were not very Christian, I knew that MSH would be my biggest supporter. Since I had experienced a really bad job in the past, I was worried about it happening again. I had seen a glimpse of some behaviors that I did not like and started to freak alittle. Well everything has turned around and I feel like it will be OK. I am not worried anymore. I won’t have to be around anyone who is dishonest, not hard working, can't manage anything and in it for the wrong reasons. For that I say Amen!!

So there you go, now you have the full story!

Today the old boss is visiting the office. It just like old times. Except that now he is a super star!! Someone leaked to the media that he was going to be here and they started showing up to interview him! How cool is that! Oh my how times have changed!!

The count down has begun to our first anniversary. Coming soon....a post about our first anniversary and what an awesome year it has been for both of us.

Have a blessed day!
