The Lord's Direction

[Dreamer]

Hi, this is Dreamer, and I'm on my way out of the house in minute so I'll try to make this quick.

I'm really struggling with one of my social work professors. Last night I had an interview with him and the other two heads of the Social Work dept, to be "accepted" into the Social Work program at the inital level at that school. I'll be honest with you, it's tough, and they are trying to weed out the ones who they don't think will make it

Before my interview, while I was in the office taking care of stuff, Dr. Washington (that's the guy's name that gives me trouble) came in and asked me to talk to him privately. What a time to hit me with this! Right before my interview. Isn't he nice? Not.

He took me in a room and said why was I not working with my partner in the project, L'antria. (She and I have to do a speech presentation together this evening) He said she had called and complained about me.

People, I did nothing wrong with this young lady! First of all, she lied 4 times and did not show up at the library to meet me when we were supposed to work together. When she finally did show up at the student union, she was rude, bossy, and didn't have any of her material together to do her part!

I have been working for over 2 weeks gathering information and putting the basics of it on Power point. She did not do her part and now she is trying to blame me. She is the same race as Dr. Washington, and I'm sorry, but he is prejudiced against white people and he thinks I am too old to go back to school. He said in the interview that I'm not adjusting well....blah, blah, blah. I almost didn't get accepted into the program because of him, but Ms. West (the Director) and Ms. Horton (the other professor) stood up for me last night during the interview.

Then he tells me to stay and wait until after the interviews so we can call 'poor L'antria. Poor L'antria my foot!

I have to face her this morning in my 1st class ( a different class than the one where we give presentation) and I expect by the time I get there she will have told her whole side of the room that I'm a terrible person....and I still have to get her questions from her side of the project and blend them with mine and print out sheets for the class....and I don't even know if she will talk to me.....

Help.

This presentation is tonight at 6:00 p.m. I have no idea how L'antria and I are going to get together to do this, and as far as I know, she has nothing ready....and it's my fault????

Love her.

1Peter 4:7-11
7*The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. 8*Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9*Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.
10*God has given gifts to each of you from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Manage them well so that God’s generosity can flow through you. 11*Are you called to be a speaker? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Are you called to help others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then God will be given glory in everything through Jesus Christ. All glory and power belong to him forever and ever. Amen.

Dear Dreamer,

I've been praying and believe the Lord is saying DON'T WORRY!

Although this is the prayer thread and not the counselling thread, what also comes to mind is the word integrity, standing your ground, be kind to others and don't despair.

Dear Father, thank you for Dreamer and all that you are doing in him and through him. Thank you that you have good plans for him to prosper him and not to harm him. Please can you help him have wisdom in this situation and guide him by your Holy Spirit. May he know your peace in this situation and the confidence necessary to manage tonight. Thank you Father that you care so much about all the details in our lives. I pray for favour with Mr Washington - that his view of Dreamer may be transformed - that he may see your light shining through him in this situation. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Heavenly Father

We bring Dreamer before YOU LORD. WE declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper. We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens her. We declare that she is the head and not the tail and that every thing will work in her favour according to YOUR desire and will.

Touch Dreamer's mind and heart and help her to stand firm and sure in YOU and in herself LORD. Put her mind at ease even when others come against her. Be her fortress and help her to let her light shine before all men. We know her YOUR light will cast out all darkness and the truth will be seen at the end of it all. Help her to have the faith that is accessible to her through YOU and gave her peace in this calamity.

We thank YOU for hearing us.

In Jesus name
Amen

Hello...popping in and I see these wonderful prayers lifted toward heaven!!!

Today was sorta pretty much awful.

I asked her this morning after class if she wanted to get together and put our stuff together (we both had 3 hours between classes) and she said, "no, I'm going to go talk to Dr. Washington. Then she went and talked bad about me AGAIN to him. I just kept praying and trusting God and later that afternoon I saw Dr. Washington when I was in the office doing some work. He said a bunch of stuff....and it wasn't fair or true....and I went to his office, and he called her, and after awhile L'antria came waltzing in like a princess....

Well, I have to leave in 30 minutes to go do the presentation. L'antria and I are going to do the presentation together. I pray that God's will be done and that's all.

Hey Dreamer,
I will be praying for her, that God softens her heart and that his will be done. Just continue being the light that you are.

I love you take care.

Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you.

But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you (Luke 6:27-28).

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse (Romans 12:14).

We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it (1 Corinthians 4:12).
