My youngest daughter needs prayer for protection and strength. These past 2 weeks have been rough on her, all work related. She broke up with her boyfriend. They had been dating for about 6 months. He took another job away from the immediate area, and the long distance squashed the relationship. He was a nice guy, but it was not meant to be. They used to work together before he took a job a good distance from here.

Last week Tuesday, my daughter and several of her co-workers had to go to training sessions in Chicago. They took the South Shore Train to get there.My daughter got off a few stops ahead of the other 2 co-workers, as they live farther down the line and we live here by the state line. There was an accident 2 miles from their stop. The train they were on hit a truck that went around the gates, which burst into flames on impact.They were on the 1st car, 3 seat rows back from the front. Flames from the burning truck enveloped the front of the train car they were in. The people were slow in exiting the doors, and her friends opened an emergency window and jumped out. Neither was hurt, but very shaken, to say the least. They sent her the pics not 20 minutes after my daughter had got off at her stop.This really shook her up, as she was on that train 20 minutes earlier.

Last week Friday, Darryl,a co-worker down the hall, literally dropped dead of a heart attack just before lunch time. They have defibrillators at work, but despite everyone's efforts, and the paramedics skills, he died.

Yesterday, 20 minutes before she got off work, the 2nd in command in her office got a call. Their boss, Cathy, passed away. Cathy had last been to work on Tuesday, but was not feeling well and went home. Cathy was an older lady, and treated my daughter like she would a granddaughter.She absolutely loved my daughter, and not just because my daughter is a skilled worker. They had hit it off so well.

My daughter is going to try to buy her 1st home on an online auction, which starts today and ends Monday. Her list of 5 has been whittled down to 2, as 3 were pulled from the sale. The Victorian everyone was drooling over was one of the ones pulled.She has 2 left on her list. One is definitely going to go for more than her price range.The other one is a simple house that I had told her when she decided to go for this,that this one was her best chance of a successful bid, seeing her money limit on what she can spend. We will know by late Monday if her bid is successful. It is all in God's Hands. His Will be done.
