Now I'm afraid that this could come back to haunt Peter in his the form of a negative performance record that could result in him being demoted. 
I have had other people telling me that I have a right as a wife to call my husband, yet I don't want to abuse the privilege. I have been crying out to God to spare Peter from the consequences of my mistake in calling him. I know the Chiristian thing to do is not to dwell on it but move on. Kim is very corrupt and wrong in the way she deals with others. The fact that I called Peter doesn't make her behavior right. Peter already told the vice chief and he says her reaction was uncalled for. I have to the best of my ability to put this in God's hands. I would not be able to live with the fact that Peter got demoted for something I did. I believe that God told me that Peter's job is safe and it doesn't matter whether Kim disapproves of him or not. Peter will give the vice chief a copy of his resume tomorrow to give him a chance to get into a better paying job before it's too late. Peter will also ask him to protect him from a bad performance report or from being demoted in case he doesn't find a new job before the performance appraisals come in.. God also laid it on my heart to challenge Peter to go to Kim directly and apologize for being on the phone and to boldly tell her that he was on the phone with me his wife. I know that it has to do some good. She can't hold the phone against Peter, she just can't. There has to be some plan for God to salvage any damage done! Despite my mental anguish over this I have boldly gone before God's throne asking for his mercy and to continue to keep Peter safe and protected from harm regardless of how foolish or at fault I was in calling him. I will not call Peter ever again about something that can wait until after work. Peter needs another chance! I know that God is still on our side and is for us. Please pray for Peter get increased favor in his job and for God to use this for his good as well as to give me peace about what happened. Pray for Peter honestly telling Kim that he was on the phone with me to do some good and not be in vain. Pray also that Clint can put safety mesaures in place to continue to protect Peter. Pray that no harm comes upon Peter and that no weapon formed against him including a bad performace appraisal prospers. Pray for his job to be covered in the blood of Jesus and for Peter to still be covered by God's hand of protection. Peter needs a breakthough! Please pray for us! God Bless You All!Quote:

 Look here is the deal, your husband is there to work. If you wanted to find out about a recipe, email him. For example, if something is of great importance then I will call Darrell at work or vice versa, if it is something little, we will either email each other or text message each other via our cells. Just because we are each other's spouses does not give us the right to call each other whenever we want to at work because again, we are there to work. Reality is that is what our jobs pay us to do...........WORK. If you really had to talk to Pete about a recipe or whatever, save it for a break (if he has one) or his lunchtime. Now, as for Kim's reaction. She could have asked in a nicer way or have approached Pete in a nicer manner. But as his boss, she does have the right to ask who he is talking to on company time. I am not condoning how she approached because that was wrong..........but to ask Pete in a prorfessional manner who he is talking to on company time is fine and right, especially if it is something that goes on on the regular. Honey, we (me, you and Pete) all work at professional jobs where there is a standard that is required of us. So, even though we may not like something, we still must adhere because we are in a professional environment at professional jobs making a professional salaries. And if Pete is there to show that he is a good, conscentious working being on the phone with his wife over a recipe is not good. So, in the future, call Pete less or wait to call him at a break or lunch or email or text. Just find a method that will work for the both of you. Father God, give Janet peace. Give her peace to just trust you and not get upset over every little thing. Father, continue to shine Your light on Pete at work. Protect him from this latest indiscrestion. May Kim and his fellow advisors see him as a wonderful worker. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen  |
My Christian co-worker Joyce just came in my cube and she says there is nothing wrong with contacting your spouse for a couple minutes, although I must confess that I have kept Peter on the phone too long and I am guilty of that. The government is not private industry. You can within limits use the phone and still be obedient unto the Lord just as long as you don't abuse the priveledge. I must admit that I have abused the priveledge at times, however I have already been forgiven and God says if we confess our sins and repent, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I promised God that I would never abuse the priveledge of calling Peter at work again. 
God Bless You All!
Your house is sold. Peter's condo is sold or nearly sold. So what's keeping you there?
