my new job

So it is funny how we get ourself into positions (like me not having a job) and then after a mess God finds a place to use us. OKay sure God can use us anywhere but alot of the time, I find myself wondering how he will use me. At my new job there are 4 very different people that I know need God, they are carrying burdens all very different burdens but you can tell there is alot of hurt. I have had 3 of the 4 open up to me today, all at different times. The hotel that I am working at is very slow right now so most of the day I am the only person there besides seeing a random housekeeper or Maitnance guy or gal or what not. God has me there to show these people compassion by listening to them and to treat them like gold. What does that look like to treat someone like Gold?? Well the way you would treat those you love the most, and without judgement with an open heart, meeting them where they are. For instance my first day one of my coworkers wasa telling a story and there were a couple curse words in her sentence. She was talking to the guy that was training me but after she said her peice to him she stops and says "oh I am so sorry are you super religous..you know, you never know these days" I respond I am a christian but you are fine dont worry about it.
No maybe I dont like cursing but I am not going to say I never do it, but I try not to but I just want these people to know I dont care what they have done or where they are.. I am going to treat them like GOLD. Please keep them in your prayers...their lives are nothing near easy and they are humans with VERY broken spirits. It brings me to tears to think about each one and their pain they are going through and these are people I have known less than a week but they matter to God and they matter to me.
