Stumble

I was reading "facing the giants" and I highly recommend this book to folks.

How do we manage out dark days? When you are tired of trying, tired of forgiving, tired of hard weeks or hard headed people. We tend to numb the pain at a bar, bitch about it with someone else, etc. How many of a time you are quick to pray about it?

I would like to quote an analogy from the book, "are we like the sheep on the Turkish cliff? who knows why the first one jumped over the edge. even more bizarre are the fifteen hundred others who followed, each leaping off the same overhang. THe first 450 animals died. The thousand that followed survivde only because the pile of corpses cushioned their fall." I was like, "WOW".

We should seek healthy counsel, someone/mentor who encourages you, not put you down, rides through the storm till you see the finishing line.

I am totally like what I describe above. I refused to confide with anyone and 'leave it to next time'. It is like living in a vacuum room.

My neck is still sore and it has "spread" to the other side! Contagious, maybe? But praise God that at least I am able to turn my head slowly without groaning and it recovered faster than expected. Pray for my job application that it'd be processed as soon as possible so that I'd be able to give definite answers to friends and family members. Bottom line is, have faith and trust in the Lord.
