So I prayed real hard and found peace over the weekend - then my pastor preaches on the love of Christ and assigned 7 passages as homework this week - what a change of heart the Lord has given me. I am not being transferred, got a special dispensation to have my cell phone on the job (because the bosses call me all the time even though “officially” no cell phones) had some payroll discrepancies resolved, and had a great week so far. What is really amazing is that I realize I have disrespected this boss and am praying for a way to offer him help with his drug and spiritual problem.

Romans 12:17-21
17jRepay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it1 to the wrath of God, for it is written, n“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20To the contrary, o“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Ephesians 5:1-2
