I feel I need to vent a little bit. My patience is currently being tested big time, only God giving me the strength to stay afloat.
Here’s the deal: I am attending a study course. Most people attending are around 20-21. Myself, I am 26. The reason is that I have a finished degree and God showed me a better path.
However, both my age and connection to God causes the biggest disconnect here. There are two pole. On the one hand there are a pair of popular guys, who advocate doing nothing, see their cluelessness as cool and care about little more than getting drunk and the beach (the course is in Spain). On the other hand, there is myself, advocating hard work, study groups and urge people to get to work now, before it is to late and the university admission exams are upon us.
Naturally, even those who have a more adult mind tend to the “cool guys”, because the path I show them is not comfortable.
It is so painful to see people running to the abyss and dragging othets behind them. It is so infuriating to hear about alcohol and party every night during dinner. It is so frustrating to have the course slow to crawl because some do not bother to study.
This is not the first time these things happen. I have no Christian friend I know in person. It feels like being assaulted from all sides. Still, I know the Lord is with me and nothing will be able to break me. Still, if you have any advice or experience in dealing with these sort of situations, I’d like to hear
