Hey everybody! Well, I am so discouraged once again. This is ridiculous. I have been in Real Estate for almost three years. I have worked extremely hard and love my job but this is just getting to be too challenging. I am sick and tired of working with buyers/sellers that keep flaking out on me. They could care less, which agent helps them. I keep praying that the Lord would help me to hold on to my clients. With the prices of gas, I cannot keep wasting money driving people around, much less wasting my time and energy. About two weeks ago things seemed real promising. I was working with about five buyers. All of a sudden everybody is starting to disappear? They call me with reasons why they aren't gonna buy right now. I know it's not me. I have been working in customer service for over 20 years. I know what it takes to build good relationships and to provide excellent service. My husband always tells me that I'm too nice and that I go way beyond the call of duty. You know what I think? I think it's a matter of just plain bad luck. How else can I put it? I am just run down, exhausted and feel like a failure. Meanwhile, all these other Realtor's are working with the banks to sell all these Short Sales and Foreclosures. I can't even do that, because the banks have enough agents on their lists to sell these properties. They don't need me! How can I not be rewarded for all my hard work? I have asked God this over and over? If I am a child of God, why do I have to beg and plead for blessings? I can't even talk to the right people in this business. Everybody tells me that they will call me back and then they never do. This morning I woke up and thought I had an appointment to show property and my client called and said the house was too small and he cancelled. I don't even stand a chance. Every morning I wake up and think.....what is the use! All I think about is financial security and how I can obtain it? Now, everything seems so far fetched. The first thing people tell me about my situation is............find another job. Listen, I have prayed about this too for the last two years asking God to put me somewhere else. For some reason, I'm still here doing the same old job that I love doing. Even our own friends flake out on me. My husband and I do things to help them out and they can't even exchange the favor. I am so beat down I can't even explain how I feel. I feel like even the Lord has abandoned me. I am disgusted beyond.......I can't even explain it.

This passage helped me when I wondered why my efforts didn't seem to improve my situation:
4 But I said, "I have labored to no purpose;
I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing.
Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand,
and my reward is with my God."
(Isaiah 49:4)
It helped me to stay focused on God and His will when everything else seemed to be going wrong.
I hope things improve for you!

Lord, in the midst of this real estate down turn, help your children to get the work they need, their bills paid, and to see your goodness. If this sister needs another job, please provide it to her soon. Thank you Lord for all you do for us. Amen.

Our great Lord, I pray that Godsway will be able to cling to You all the time no matter what...waiting on You as You lead and guide to Your perfect purpose.
I'm sending along this verse, which I've prayed for you, because it's one God often uses to help me... Bless you.
Psalm 63:1-8 (ESV)
O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh faints for You, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary, beholding Your power and glory. Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless you as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips, when I remember You upon my bed, and meditate on You in the watches of the night; for You have been my help and in the shadow of Your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

I don't know how much help this will be, but I went through a similar situation with my job and was about to through in the towel. I spoke to my pastor and he told me to pray for a purpose in my job or to be asked to be released from it. I asked the Lord, " is this where you want me? If it is then give me a reason to stay. Either change me or change those around me. I know that your desire is to see me satisfied in my work place for I am there to bring glory to You. If this is not where I need to be then open the door to something else. " In my case, I am still at my job and wonderful changes have taken place. Both in those that I work with and in my attitude about my work. Also I remind myself everyday that my journey here is temporary and the things that I do each day should bring glory to my God and be treasures that I am storing up in heaven. Ultimately He is in control and I have total faith in Him as it concerns my future. Also, a book that I have been reading (Experiencing God) has opened my eyes to a misconception that I have had about God and my future. I assumed that I have to line up my future and fit God in, but in reality, God is already working and His desire is to have me join Him in His work. That sure took a weight off of my shoulders! I just have to love God with all my heart and everything will follow. I know it is hard sometimes not to get caught up in the lies of this world and to realize that what is important to the world is not what is important to us as followers of Christ. I will keep you in my prayer.
Love in Christ, Mary
