I would love to be around Christians and I have prayed regarding finding a job that I would feel more comfortable. I have also searched for this job but have not found anything yet. However, with that said, I believe that this is where God wanted me to be and where he wants me to be at this time. Maybe to be a light (however dim) to others or maybe for the lessons I can learn. In my personal time I know that he is leading me and I am involved in things that he has led me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I was telling myself that just today. I'm beginning to believe there are no "safe havens" for Christians in this world, not even a church. God is our Rock, though, and on Him we stand. There is no Fortress like Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I fail God a lot.... Prayers Kari I think if we all want to admit it Kari, many of us view ourselves as "falling short of HIS glory!" I can testify to that. Just remember, we're all God's workmanship in Christ Jesus. Phil. 2:13 states that it's God that's working in us both to will and do of His good pleasure. We all are a work in progress.

Guest Biblicist Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 There is only one thing God has called me to do. Be Obedient. Sometimes I am, and sometimes I struggle with it, but I will continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried though because He knows it's a struggle for us to be obedient with Satan prowling around like a hungry lion. . . Someday the victory will be ours! Sweet victory in Jesus, My Saviour forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids are raised and married. Still working our own business but uprooted from our old home of nearly 20 years - still a feeling of expectancy of some kind (hence my user name) - things i stand on: 1) Gratitude for simple things like shelter and food and water and air 2) Taking very good care of the most humble things 3) More time for learning of God 4) Staying alert in a stage of preparation.

While you are waiting just keep on keeping on studying, seeking, praying, rejoicing in God. Even though I know that I'm doing in general the things God wants, He often gives me sabbaticals or breaks. We need rests and respites from the storms. Dogs are good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
