Update: Saturday October 29th:
I'm pleased to announce that our prayers were answered!
Jorge not only went to the Whitaker Wellness Institute yesterday,
but he THANKED me profusely afterwards for "pushing" him there!
(Believe me, it was like giving a cat a bath, trying to get him
to that first doctor's appointment). Jorge has signed up for
their "reversal of heart disease" treatment program. Treatments
will begin next week, with a series of IV therapies that Whitaker
patients call "roto-rooter" for the arteries. Literally clearing
out the arteries which lead to heart attacks and strokes.
He was glum and skeptical and a bit nervous before the doctor's
appointment. But afterward, he was positively "giddy"!
I think he senses a new lease on life. So rather than planning
for his death, Jorge can cheerfully plan for the impending rapture
of the church!
Thank-you, Five Doves!
PS: Witnesses were sent out in twos, by
the Lord. I can't help but wonder now that there are two of
us (Christians) in our office, perhaps the Lord is going to use
us to snatch some more souls out of hell before it is too late!
We are currently working on my back-sliden Buddhist boss: Natalie.
Nice lady but lost as all get out! Lets claim her for
the kingdom of God!
PPS: On my own front, as you recall, I asked
for prayer in September because I moved into an apartment near my
new job, and put my condo on the market for sale. It seemed
to be the logical thing to do. When the first offer came through
(very low), I felt tremendous relief when the would-be
buyer did not counter my offer, and walked away. Then I became
confused about what to do. Was I out of the will of God putting
my condo on the market? Or was the buyer not the right buyer
or not the right amount? What????
I asked for prayer, and felt peace.......but for weeks nothing
happened. No offers at all. My broker pressured me to
lower my asking price, so I did. Still nothing. Out
of financial desperation I threw an ad in the local paper to rent
condo out. My phone rang off the hook! I didn't
rent it, but it seemed to be a sign, not to sell. So, I called
my mortgage broker and asked her to re-launch my application for a
2nd Trust Deed so I could pay off my 24% credit cards (which I had
to live on all last year while sick and unable to work).
Then I received word that I couldn't get an appraisal on the
property, as long as it was listed on multiple listing. I
had a listing agreement which would run through the end of Nov.
So, I felt "stuck" again. But a week later (2 weeks ago),
I found that my deceitful broker had double listed my property on
MLS, once at the agreed upon asking price and another one (unauthorized)
for $50,000 less. She was "dumping" my property without my
permission! She could lose her license for this, so I called
her on it and told her to send me a canceled listing contract within
the next 48 hours. (Naturally, I was down with the flu during
all this. Naturally.) She did it without hesitation.
So my property was off the MLS. Now the loan appraisal could
be finished. Long story short, the docs just arrived today
which I will sign after I finish this email. (It will save
me $4000/mo. in cash flow, to give you an idea of the financial
nightmare I've been wrestling with.) I'm still praying about
selling condo or renting it. It would appear though that circumstances
are pointing toward renting it out. I'm a little nervous about
this because of horror stories about renters "trashing" places.
So, I covet your prayers that I will
not make any more mistakes, that I will have God's wisdom on what
to do here. And if I'm suppose to rent it out, that God will
send a good tenant who will cherish the place as I did. (Condo
has white/beige carpeting!)
God
Bless You, Five Doves!
