Ben, I was in the same spot you were a few years ago. I was unemployed, I still lived with my parent and I felt utterly alone. Truth is in that point in my life, I felt like God had abandoned me. I sort of thought that he didn't exsist. On any level I was pissed in him. I thought that God had turned his back on me and I would turn my back on him. That was a Friday. Monday afternoon I had a job. Though I have since left that job, I am still thankful for the experiences that it gave me, and the people I met there. Because of that job I had a chance to work with kids (many of whom I am still very close to) and a chance to do and see things i never would have the chance to do. Another time I had felt God had given me the kiss off was during college. I put all my effort into an intership. I was at the point of emotional collapes when my supervisor stabbed me in the back and given me a horrible recomondation without a shred of evidence. I was drained and devistated. But the college I was at "graciously" gave me a second chance at an intership at a different place. Again, because God sent me to this new place, I did well (my new supervisor thought the other one was on drug because I did so well at the same position) and I made many new friends at this new place. In fact, I take partial credit for some of those friends becoming married. If I had not been sent away at the first internship, these wonderful things never would have happened. My point is that God said his grace will carry us. I have never regreted any place that I have been sent by my Lord. Even the horrible shit we go through serves HIM. Right now I am in the same boat I was before (no job or money, but I don't live with Dad-yet) But I don't think it's God being cruel or neglectful. i know that he will provide for me, and give me what I need. (You know for what I ask my dear Lord) He will work his will in his own time, NOT mine. But I know that I wont regret the path I have been sent on. I hop[e this helps, Peace in Christ ASB |
