The cost to drive has increased dramatically. I need a vehicle. I have never borrowed from a bank to buy a vehicle since 1975. Right now I am tempted to. I am torn with that idea. But, I need a vehicle. One that will go good on snow and ice and has good gas milage and does not burn oil or is cold. Not an ugly one. Both my vehicles are ugly. One is an 88 Festiva, the other is a 75 Jeep J10 Pickup. Rusty, dented, pitted and cold, and burn and leak oil. I figure the Lord won't mind me asking for a nice looking vehicle. And, since I live in a rural area, a four wheel drive would be nice. Today is February 8, 2004. I pray I will not be without a way to work. I pray the Lord will honor my desires for a good looking four wheel drive vehicle. Thank you Lord for hearing my heart on this matter fand thank you for all those who will read this and pray with me. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Ok. My other request. I just got transferred to our warehouse and it is a 29 mile drive one way. I'm the oldest person there at age 53 and the lowest paid. There are 7 of us at this job. I've been there longer that three of them. The company just put me on loan to the warehouse, but the warehouse says I'm there permantly but they can't raise my pay because the plant I am on loan from say I'm still theirs. I feel ignored even though I have voiced my concern. They all make at least two dollars more on the hour than I do. I feel bad about this because what I'm hearing is that my pay is frozen when all around me people are getting raises. I make $10.10 an hour and I have a college degree. Pray for me that I will be raise up in pay soon in Jesus's name AMen. |
