I learned in a retreat that I attended that the Christian Life is not
a life of fun and games. It is not a bed of roses. It is a
battlefield.

Man, is that ever true. This I know. I am currently encountering
several battles. The biggest right now is my husband. My husband is
Christian. He is what you call a backslider. See, I'm Catholic. I
don't know what approach to take in helping get back to God. But I was
told that prayers work wonders. I haven't been praying properly, I
admit. And now is the time that I must learn to do that. I am afraid
of that the time will come that my husband and my daughters will not
be saved. And so I need to pray for them. I vowed to attend church
every sunday and even that is becoming a struggle. I must think of a
new way to fix my schedule in such a way that I would be able to
attend church.

i like attending church. I learn so much, and I hate missing church. I
need to learn double time. I thank you, Lord for every waking
opportunity that you give us. Thank you.

Talk About a Million Stress

It's so tiring what they're doing to us. The company offered to let most of the agents go on the promise of paying them a voluntary retirement package.  That's all nice for the agents because whether they take it or not, they will still receive it when the company says they can go. But for the team leads, it's a different story. To begin with, only 8 team leads can avail of the package.  Anyone else who wants to go can go by resigning.  It's so painful because they dropped the bomb on us by saying that whoever wants to avail of the package may avail of the package, and they're not going to limit it just because we've gone over the required number of people. The next day, they tell us, no we can't let everyone go. We can only afford to make 8 stay.  Well, right now, I'm the eighth. And the more painful part? Someone who needs it more than I do ( i need it, too, and she needs it just as much, if not more)  won't be able to get it. Tal...

Because I Can

Well, yes, I'm not blogging because I have something to say, actually I'm just blogging because I can do so. Anyway, I got up today pretty hungry. Considering we had lunch at Tramway. The food was awesome, but I was able to have only 2 courses. Next time I go, I'm going to make sure I get a dose of everything! Oh, and I'll be wearing a big shirt! You know, for emergency purposes. I'm still pretty sleepy right now but Tyrese woke me up, saying that she was hungry. So I had to go and cook some rice. Which by the way I realized that she did not wake me up for food originally. She woke me up because she pooped. well, i'm just waiting for the rice to cook so I can eat cause I'm hungry, too.
