As you all know my oldest son located to our area from Ca. 30 days ago. He is a manager of Starbucks and is ex- Navy. He went into his current store and lets just say he was very "firm" with the employees there. Seems they don't like him......to the degree that he has 7 complaints to the district office and his job may be on the line because of it. Most of the complaints are stupid and have absolutely nothing to do with him being a their manager. Anyway he has been with this co. for over 6 yrs. and is in need of prayer that he doesn't loose his job. Thanks.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Hi Vivian,
I understand your concern and need for prayers. You certainly have them from me. That being said let me also say this:

Remember if God closes one door, he opens another. Case in point;. My son had been with a large auto parts store for 8 years. He worked his way up from delivery driver to Major Accounts Manager. Since about a year ago, he started getting harassed for being obese (63 BMI). Management was harassing him, blaming low sales on him, etc. My son even asked "is this about my weight", and the other manager said YES. So, in March, my son had WLS, went on medical leave and NEVER went back. Yes, he was unemployed for several months (lives at home with me) and that was TOUGH. But I believe God finally put him where he wants him. He is now tutoring 6th graders at an elementary school. Pay is less and there are no benefits, but he is doing what he does best and loving it! BTW, he has lost 155 pounds to date.

Sorry for the long story, but know I WILL be praying that your son does NOT lose his job. Times are tough. But, if the prayer request gets a different answer, know things will still be OK with a little more prayer.

I have a lot a praying going on this week-end!

Long stories are always welcome. Congrats to your son. My son lost his job about 6 months ago and has landed on his feet in a big way at his new job.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

Brooke....that is my saying also....IF GOD CLOSES A DOOR HE WILL ALWAYS OPEN A WINDOW !!! My son wants to be a college professior !!! He has already signed up for college....he is 28 and not getting any younger. At least God brought him back to Texas from Ca. where he had been for 8 yrs. I know that God may not let him keep his job and that is OK with me. Just hate to see him disapointed and loose 6 yrs of his life in this Co. But God is in control and my trust and faith is in him to do what is best for all 3 of my sons. Congrats to your son and the WL and WLS. Also to the job that he loves. Life is too short to be stuck in a job you hate !!!!

Let me guess, the young kids don't like disciplinary actions.

I take it that is some of it. I think that they have had it in for him all along. I found out today there were 22 complaints on him from 4 different of his employees, UGH.....they were without a store manager for 6 weeks prior to him taking over and the store was a disaster. It is now clean and orderly....not at all like before he took over. I told him surely the company would look over his 6 year career with the company before taking the word of the employees. If not....then maybe it is a good thing that he parts ways with them before he invests more time in the job.

Vivian,

I was thinking along these same lines. You would think that a successful six year career would win out over the complaints of four employees at a store that NEEDED to be turned around, and which he has successfully turned around. Clearly, they weren't able to run things properly without him, and they're bitter that they're having to do their job in the correct manner now. I'm keeping him in my thoughts.

Or, I was wondering, "Californians", maybe ... particularly if the kids are all small-town "locals"?

But I take it, VP, that he grew up here in TX and only moved to CA a few years ago?

Hang in there, VP .. as many other members have mentioned, if things "happen", maybe it's God's way of moving him into something better ..

btw, are things going better of late with your other son? Hopefully so ..

Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

My son ( oldest one ) finds out tomorrow what is going to happen of his position. As for the middle son....still drug free and he hasn't found a job yet. Hopefully soon that will change and he and his gF are still in my home.
