Dear Shay,

I just wanted to update my situation. I have found a job working for a medical company. They have me inputting information for billing. It's interesting. Keeping me busy. I'm just learning so I know there will be mistakes. Just hope I don't make too many of them. My question is this, "Is this the job for my future? How can I tell? I need good health insurance because of my diabetes. Working for the government as a Tax Examining Clerk in the Code & Edit department has left me with very good insurance. I only have to pay $5 doctor's visits and $5 per prescription. Does your angel tell you anything about this new job and it's benefits? I don't want to jeopardize my status with the IRS if it doesn't work out with this new job. I've thought about working part-time for the IRS so hopefully they will let me keep my health insurance. But, I don't know if they will let me work part-time or not. I've kind of made a commitment with this new job to stay on and not quit. They are worried about this because they have to spend time teaching me everything about the medical billing process. I want to stay, but not if I don't get the medical benefits I need to survive. Can you please tell me what to do?

Also, I have been having problem with my Mom and Grandma. They are little things, but they are everyday!!! I get so tired of hearing my mom yell at me. It is just about everyday. I know she must be going through menopause or something. She is driving me nuts!! I want and need peace and quiet and she keeps pestering me. She wants me to do this or do that. All I want is to be left alone. I don't mind talking with her, but she likes to yell a lot. What is her problem do you think? And my grandma likes to hog the remote control for the t.v. She did this when she lived with Uncle Joe and now mom lets her do it here. I don't mind sharing, but she likes to monopolize. I know this is probably dumb. But, t.v. is my main entertainment. I've spent the last couple days cooped up on my bedroom like a teenager. Uncle Joe used to do this when he had Grams living with him. Now I know what he feels like. Any suggestions would be most appreciated and helpful.

There's an easy way to tell if the job you are in now is the job of your future. Jobs usually give us enough money to live on and recreate the way we like to, or else we wouldn't keep them. However, we also tend to leave jobs that do not please us on the inside. I know I enjoy jobs when I feel like I'm providing people with something they need or want. I like to feel like I'm helping my fellow earthbound folks, and I've found that most people are like this. But quite a few people feel that they will never find a job like this, so they give up and allow themselves to be stuck in crappy jobs. Don't be someone like that, its not a fun existence. Also, PRAY for a better job with the kind of insurance coverage you need. Prayer always helps.

If you are having trouble with your current living arrangement, then find a new one. There are always places to live for people that are willing to work, and sometimes even if you're not. I feel that somehow you're lacking the belief that you have the power to change your situation. Let me explain reality for a minute.

God gives humans some really wonderful powers. He gives us the ability to change things when they are not working. He also gives us a really wonderful tool for changing things and that is the power of communication. Happy people are always aware that when things are bad, they can change that. They can solve the problem and if they can't solve it on their own, they can talk to someone else and that person can help them with it. God also gives us the power of prayer, which is the way we communicate with God. When you feel that something needs to be changed in your life, and you think that you don't have the power to do it yourself, then pray to God and ask him to change it. You will be absolutely amazed with the results.

I will be praying for you. Have you been noticing your angels? They're around. If you haven't been able to spot them, I suggest exploring the other sections of my page.

Love and Prayers, Shay
