Hello Gena

 I can not but help feel the pain of uncertainty, the fear of loss and the hope to remain steadfast coming against your friend. I believe this is why you are in her life to share with her and encourage her through and in this very difficult trial.

I have seen this happen to someone myself where they were in much the same situation. God waited until the very last nana-second until He released favour into their lives. For us on the outside who I believe God sends to be supportive and understanding, we are not given the time table or the agenda that is in God's plan for our friends or loved one's. In this we too get the heat and it also calls us into the furnace sometimes where God works on us to believe, trust and submit to hoping in Him alone where we do not understand or comprehend what He is doing and why He is doing it. 

 Many years ago went through a similar crisis as your friend. I experienced terrifying emotions that were like an oncoming tsunami. Nothing averted it except God who moved through unbelievable circumstances…all of His doing…to salvage my then hopeless situation. Sometimes I truly believe, God puts us into a circumstance that to our carnal mind and weak spirit, we would swear is hopeless…that we fall prey to thinking is our fault or someone else’s fault…..just to show that these errors of self blame or projected blame on others are still in us…Then God does His work to show  that HE is not without power or wisdom or goodness or love for us. It is a terrifying experience but one that is worthwhile after God comes through for us in His inimitable style and Sovereignty. 

Am feeling for you and your friend. I am sure she is grateful for you in this time………….You are both in my heart and thoughts and I know you are in Gods plan. He is up to something!……Our trials are His speciality….His Love our Guarantee…..I know you will be the best friend you can be….

Peace to you

Arcturus

Sandy,

 Dear sister and friend prayer going up. I am in a similar situation and things did not go the way I thought they should go. I have enough time in at my job(32 years) and I could retire but I love all that I work with and there have been a few that just surprised me and it hurts very badly. As you and many others here know, I was up for a promotion and that dream of having that position was just that, A DREAM.

 I am sure God knows what is best for me and I would have loved to have that position and the many , many friends I have at work wanted me to have that job also. It broke my heart when 3 people I thought I knew just put a knife in my back and I did not even expect it. These were people I worked with on a daily basis in my department for many years and it was a total surprise when all this happened and I was at a very low point at that time. It is not totally over yet but I will know this coming thursday (12/14/2006). I appealed the test and even have contacted an attorney because after veiwing the test results it was apparent that it was not done fairly.

 The problem I am having is knowing what God's will is and i so much want to know and understand it all.

 Sandy sorry for the lengthy response and I thank you for starting this thread because I can see that i am not alone in the present situation I am in and by the other responses I can see that others are too.

Love to you my friend and love to you all,

bobby

Talk about knives in the back.  :o  I can share with you this....you may recall that my career was pulled out from under me because of greed and foul play on the part of seemingly respectable persons.

I was under legal obligation to report the matter more than a month ago to the Governing Authorities who regulate my profession and have since heard nothing. So, after much effort, a follow up e-mail was written to give more evidence against this situation from happening again to other professionals in my field. I was ready to send this follow up correspondence and it simply vanished off the computer screen! There is NO trace of it :D!

I could have put my thoughts on powers and principalities and think in their direction or I could keep my armor on Eph 6 and believe in God but better still through the revelations in LOF I  have recently been given the comfort of knowing that Scripture in Eph 1 : 11 where it comforts me to see that God is operating ALL THINGS according to His plan and purpose!  So if it is not people who have knives it is the computer that blanks out on the effort spent to compile a really excellent follow-up that now has to be done over! Well....it doesn't have to be done again....but it is going to >:(

Sometimes we do not know what God is up to but knowing that He loves us and is working ALL things out for our good is a consolation through tough times.

The fact that you have gone to a lawyer Bobby for me shows you are not acting like a timid victim and there is nothing luke-warm about that. I know God will have us walk in His plan and purpose because He loves us even through knives in our backs from greedy people or from people we least expect and even through computer black outs ;D and much much more!

peace to you

Arcturus :)

Arcturus, thank you for your heart-felt words.  It funny that I thought I was just "dropping by" to see my friend. Thanks for reminding me to really be her friend right now.

You know, you really have a gift from the Lord Arcturus, your love for all of us comes thru in all your posts.  And you write with a poets heart!

(PS.  Patrick I thought you were on top the roof w/ Ray?)

Sandy, this has been a beautiful post, that I bet has blessed all the readers.  Hunting, Losing, Finding, Loving, Hating, Needing jobs touches us all at one time or another.

Love,
gena
