MY dear brethren, I have some good news to tell you. God has heard your
prayers. A few days ago I called the New York State worker's
compensation board here in Syracuse.
I asked the person on the phone about my case. She looked it up and said
that it was a reserved decisions. Meaning both sides will come before
the judge to here his decisions. My case is very favorable to my side.
And yes, the other side can appeal. But it is a matter of time before I
win. It is called the waiting game.
The week before when I called. The judge said the same thing. He was
trying to recall who I was. He asked me if I am the one who got
chemically poison.
As of right now, I am waiting for a court date.
Brethren, God has used this adversity to refine my faith and trust in
Him. I know even when the money does come in. I still have to deal with
this illness. But by the grace of God I take each day one at a time. Do
what I can and not to worry what I can not change.
I've been told many of a times at the multiple chemical sensitive support
group. That I have a powerful testimony. I have told these
people(Christian and non) that even when the money comes in. You still
have to deal with the illness. I'll keep say in that group that the
answer is in Jesus.
I am looking forward to the first weekend in June. A fellow FCF Chapter
brother is picking me up for our SWAP MEET. I looking forward to the
fellowship there. I am staving for fellowship. This is an answer to
prayer.
I am thankful for the brethren that hired me to make some of their men's
clothing. Which is sold to re enactors. I am also thankful for my web
site that a brother has maintain. This has brought in some work. But it
is God who brought in the work. I thankful for Him. God knew that I
need something to keep my mind and hands busy.
I am thankful for Kathie for all the times she had to put up with me.
This illness drains on you. You do not know how you'll react to the
chemical odors or molds or pollen. When she sees me get very sick. She
just tells me to go to bed. Sleep is the best thing and avoidance.
I am thankful for my 3 children. Back in 93 when this all started.
Beckie was in the 11th grade. Tim and Peter were in middle school. Now
Beckie is in her last year of college. Tim is in his 2nd year of
college. Peter is soon to be graduating from h.s. in a few weeks.
Back in the middle of 95. I did not know why I was sick. I could not
handle being sick, with out a job, or being involve with Royal Rangers.
I wanted to end it all. If I did, where would my family be today.
We live in a fallen world. Where fallen men and woman make wrong
choices. These choices effect those around them. We can not avoid that.
But God uses the bad things of this world for His glory. All we have to
do have faith and trust in Him.
