First I would like to thank all who take the time to pray for me and my family, I trully appreicate it. About 6 months ago I made a stand against different issues at work that I thought were wrong and immoral. I thought there would be people willing to work with me to make the situation better but that was not the case and most just wanted to see me leave and shut - up. I dealt with that and faught what battles I could but for the last 6 months my supervisor and others had made my work life unbareable. I was his lead man and I know I made him unconfortable because I was doing all the things work related and not he knew he should have been doing. Anyways Friday I had enough and quit after 5 years. I thought things would go rather smoothly because I have some stock to hold us over for a couple months but today my wife who I am very proud of made a stand of her own against some things she new were wrong at her work. So today she lost her job after 6 years. We both are very confident that we did the right thing and all I can keep thinking about is verse's 5:11 in Matthew, Matthew 6:25-27 and Mark 8: 34-38. I have always said that I would never change what I believed or compromise what I thought to be right for a paycheck for God provided me with that job and he could have taken it away when ever he wanted. I have know doupt we will be ok but it is so easy to worry and I just ask that who ever see's this that you pray for are situation, but better yet that you pray, my family and your's will always be a family not afraid to stand up for God and what is right.
