Feb 11th, 2009-Homeless in Houston





More "Angels" who care for us at the Hilton Garden Inn Refugee Camp. Above are Samira and Olga who get up early and are at work by 500 am to take care of customers at breakfast! They are always smiling and ask about us.
This is one of the desk family who is also efficient and seems to really care, not just give us lip service!


Another low/medium/high day. Started another day thinking about our circumstances, where will we be after Feb. 28th, who is in charge, what on earth is anyone in Marathon doing about this?








Jim is taking the bull by the horns, because he doesn't just sit around and wait for things to happen. I've got to quit talking about what happened, because it's not going to change a damn thing! Jim and I have to move on. Jim is calling HR, both his bosses, Rocco and Bernie, and try to figure out what in the Sam Hill is going on. Why is no one taking responsibility for us after Feb. 28th. We have exactly 17 days left, then what? So far, people are so sorry this has happened to us, but no one is taking action. There's always hope, and hopefully, tomorrow, Jim can talk to Bernie, HR, and maybe somone will have some decision or at least a thought about what might be going to take place. AMPCO notified Jim that they are going into our home tomorrow to pack our stuff. I'm glad we got Kitty and Carl over to take care of the preponderance of stuff before he got his hands on it. We still have no idea where they will be sending it.








Bible Study was about Leviticus 25-27, being what the Lord wants, resting in the Lord, trusting the Lord, and confessing our sins. I know I'm supposed to be resting in the Lord, but it's hard to do. Getting through something like this is just plain hard. But, we have no choice, do we?








I had a great lunch at Schlotzky's with Janet Hall, my Angel I met on the Atlanta-Houston flight.




We sat outside. It was a wonderful, warm, sunny day here in Houston; the flowers are starting to bloom, and it's hard to be really down when it's so beautiful outside and spring and new life are everywhere. I did get a happy announcement-Amanda and Maurice have a contract on their house; this is a real blessing from God for their family, and I rejoice in that-especially in these economic times.
