Downer Days!

Why is it that after you have such a wonderful, exciting moment in life that the devil really likes to come and destroy everything? This week has been extremely difficult, not just for me personally but also for New Hope.

My new job is very exciting because everything is new, but it also is really hard. I feel stupid most of the time and have no clue what I am doing. I miss being confident in my job and not needing to check with someone all the time before doing something. The people here are very nice but they are extremely busy and I hate interrupting them for the new girls stupid questions. Most of you know that I am not a crier but I admit I have already had to episodes this week.

At New Hope it seems that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Our state inspector called and will be coming to see us in 2 weeks! We have an inquiry from the Department of Labor regarding an employee who is not satisfied, we have 10 days to get back to them and the lawyer is out on surgery leave and has no time available. The taxes are due on Tuesday, The books were so messed up that it is a wonder that we could even get them done. Thanks to Vicky and 6 hours I think that problem is resolved at least for the moment. We are down to 6 girls in the unit. It takes at least 8 to pay all the bills! I could go on and on but I am depressing myself. Please pray for us and me especially. The devil is right on my back right now and I am feeling the breaking point.

Do not think that I have given up or am by any means about too. I know that God is in control and that He cares about every aspect of my being. He has done incredible things for New Hope and we continue to see the transformation of girls as they feel the love from us and begin to see that that love comes from God. One girl in particular has really become a new person! God has great things in store for her and I hope we can be part of the process. Please pray especially for our girls as our church will be in revival in a couple of weeks and more than anything I want these girls to have a personal relationship with Him. Maybe that is why it's so hard right now maybe the best is yet to come.

Come what may I will follow Him!
