I have to say, I have really been reading all your post and I have been so excited for you . Because a testimony is never really about you, its how your situation blesses someone else. Keep updating, we are all in this with you. I am praying for you as well. I am hoping I get a job soon and I find a really nice place to live. One is very hopeful and the other is impossible, but we will see how this all plays out.
I will say I am very excited about hearing of your adventures and your success in your new career. I can appreciated your struggles best because its the overcoming that I keep being reminded of. I hope your kind and gentle when you leave your old position and all its drama.
I had a teacher, she was amazing. She said when she came here she had trouble getting a job, she had a BA but was in school getting her Masters. So she took any job to pay the bills and she had a younger boss, very young and rude and likes to push her weight around, she said I smiled everyday and did my job, That Chile was not going to mess with my plans for my future. She did her work and when she completed the program and got her degree she resigned and shocked the heck out of her manager, she said " oh I needed a job to pay the bills, I have my masters degree, this was just a stepping stone". So I took that as sometimes we have to deal with things we dislike in order to get to the next step. As long as we know this is just a stepping stone in the journey. But there is something you can learn from every situation. As in Joseph, reread Joseph when you get a chance, totally awesome. He endure so much but each situation, increased his strength, education, and understanding of how to live and adapt to Egyptian life, and taught Joseph how to RUN ALL of Egypt. Folks just read it but when you think about it that had to be some really hard stuff to learn in such a short time. To learn to run an entire country. Amazing the things that God can do in our lives if we just trust and believe, my favorite scriptures is Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
