They call me the Candy Lady
- Thread starter Acts5:41
- Start date
I can really use prayers to mind my witness today. One of my bosses recently asked me to work "over scheduled hours" which entails penalties on attendance. She professes to be a Christian.
The other day I had to work sick because she had not taken off the marks. When I asked her to (she also claims to get migraines) she shouted at me that wasn't her problem. I had a very severe migraine so bad I was vomiting ( in a bucket I brought) all night. Who does that?
I called out the next day. We will see what happens tonight.
Now that I am better I am pretty angry about being treated that way. 1. Being lied to and 2. Being shouted at when I am clearly ill.

Please help her maintain her Christian witness just as Jesus maintained His as they persecuted Him. Heather is walking in His footsteps. In Jesus' name. AmenHeavenly Father, thank You for Heather, for her confidence in the power of Your Word and bold witness. Thank You for her job. As some of her bosses treat her unfairly and lie to her, encourage her. Remind her that You have loving plans for her future, in Jesus’ name
Thank you. So far so good. I'm a little wobbly from the headache passing but working. When Chief Snitch asked I told her simply that the manager had promised to "fix" my points from starting early and leaving late, that she had not, and that she got hostile when I brought it up. I think that was reasonable. I still have 3.5 hours when I finish my lunch.
Severe weather forecast for my ride home. I will figure that out somehow.

It was a good day and I worked over schedule.
I was having problems with my bank card. Turns out the computer didn't like the Uber rides and froze my account. I got that fixed.
3 people approached me today while waiting on a bus. A lot of "mean kids" laughter and whispering, asking me questions. She was wearing a very tight top and too much makeup. They said they wanted to "Talk about God and pray for me". I said no; I got a very bad reflex and didn't answer any questions. They wandered off and left pretty quick.
At work now.

More witness testing. The bank froze my account a few days ago when I was sick. They said they unlocked it but they did not. It only worked at Walmart which is completely unacceptable I am going to go and talk to them again if I I just need prayer that I not lose my temper because I am very very angry that they're trying to tell me how and where to spend my money I was not overdrawn I had over $100 in there I only wanted to spend $30 at this market and I couldn't because they didn't allow it I was also very humiliated in front of the owner
Heather, I am praying that when you go to see the bank that the power of the Holy Spirit within you will help you to remember that Christ in you is more important than anything else. Christ was humiliated, yet loved. He was mistreated, yet spoke gently ... firmly but gently. I pray that the peace and the power of the Holy Spirit within you will keep you meek, living and gentle. In Jesus' name. Amen.
What they did to you was unfair and embarrassing. And you don't deserve that considering all you do for Christ. But sister my I remind you that how we act before God and others is far more important to God than what we do. May God bless you with the ability to shine Christ in this situation.

I took your advice when I went into the bank I was calling but firm said went over to the manager and I'm well acquainted with all of them and I said I think you're the one that needs to fix this and explain how I went to the store and I tried to pay and I couldn't and she took my debit card and looked online apparently there is a YouTube Uber tip a couple days ago that set up a red flag and she took it off
Praise God!!! He is so faithful. \o/ \o/ \o/
It's definitely fixed.
So pride is an issue for me and one reason I think God has me basically out there riding public transit with the least of these, appearing homeless. People don't know the stuffed tote bag carries evangelism.
Anyway one of my team leads was helping a Christian charity. They were near me as I worked. I asked if they were with (Christian mission group like Samaritans purse) and the guy stared at me, scoffed, and said "What do you know about them?" In a hostile voice.
I said "Off the clock, I do outreach" and left it at that.
Looking back I find it very funny they assumed I don't know anything about missions. I am wearing cheap flare leg jeans and an oversized mauve t shirt under my vest, cheap shoes.
God can, will, and DOES use every tool in His box!

Many years ago, I took a cab downtown Seattle and my card was denied. From there on it was denied everywhere. It was very stress full and embarrassing. Called my bank and they said they did that because this cab driver was new and not on there list of valid cab drivers, something to that effect. I always carry at least $100 on me now and put another $100 in my car. I really hate banks getting involved in how we spend money.
