i could really use a new job... i've been praying pretty hard about this for some time now... i'm just so unhappy where i work, and im getting to dread it more and more each day.

i dont feel safe giving any specifics here, incase anyone should stumble upon this thread, but i'll leave it at saying that my health and life have both been in jeopardy at this job unneccesarily... and the atmosphere is so dank and dark. there are pictures of naked women on almost every wall (no, i dont work at a pornshop or anything of the sort - there's really no reason for the photos to be there other than the fact that management doesnt mind), a large number of the people who work there are very anti-christ and exceptionally disgusting in habit and speech... i just so dont want to be there anymore. i get all anxious about it...

pray, please that something better comes along soon :)

peace and love,
yonderboy

right. so last week was amazing.

god had been pulling me to him, convicting me to bury myself in the word, which i did almost nonstop. i had this feeling - not a vision, but not something i dreamed up either - that very soon, my whole world would be on it's ear, and that i'd need faith to make it through.

the lord brought a lot of things to my attention - that my focus wasnt quite where it needed to be.. i was using religion to get high, praising in the good times and sulking in the bad. i prayed really hard that night for god to refocus my spirit and mind - woke up feeling so close to him.

later that week, on friday, after much reflection and meditation on the word, i woke up knowing that today was the day. something was about to give. i felt convicted to grab my hardbound NIV bible that morning, even though ive got 6 or 7 translations on my pocketPC.

when i got to work, my boss pulled me aside and cut my hours in half - maybe more. i felt despair for a second, then utter joy, and relief! God was setting me free! I got into my car and grabbed my pocketPC, looking for a psalm of praise - guess what, it wouldnt turn on! good thing i had my trusty paper bible!

i spent the afternoon driving around, job hunting, singing praise tunes from the radio - if God hadnt gotten me ready for this, i would have fallen apart. Living on faith now. God knows im too lazy/scared to leave my comfort zone, even if im miserable there. Pray for me that he'll lead me someplace warm and kind :) thanks.

peace and love,
yonderboy
