Maybe this was just God's way to get you away from the "powers that be" at that church. You said you love animals, what about working for a vet or groomer? Prayers are still with ya!

Lisa,
I've applied to several of those positions, and I had an interview at one veterinary clinic, but nothing came of it. I do have a feeling that God wants me to quit working for "Babylon," but so far He hasn't opened any other doors. I should've studied to become a vet tech when I got out of high school, but I was headed in another direction. I'm pretty much too old for school now (46); who's going to hire a late-forties woman fresh out of school with "no experience"? I made all the wrong decisions. If I knew then what I know now ...

Hi Sandy,
I hope things will work out for you. I just got my first REAL job (I graduated from university 6 months ago) a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy with it, but the backside of the medal is that I can't spend so much time studying the Bible, since I have to get up to a certain level in my new job if I want to keep it... See my problem? I just have to try to balance this...
To all,
Please pray for me, I'd like to know how to manage this... Did anyone else feel this conflict? Is it a conflict at all? What are your thoughts?

Eirik, that is a dilemma. We go through ebbs & flows in our lifetime- and you are in an ebb I guess. Certain things have to give. Now, I see why you havent been posting. After university when I got my first job, I had lots of work at home (grading papers, planning etc) so after that I would read the Bible and go to bed. That seemed like all I did for awhile. Eventually that evens out. (I never grade papers at home anymore!) Now, instead of TV I will spend time here. I haven't actually studied the Bible in awhile because of the forum, I get so much scripture and teaching here. And I am waiting for part D.
Don't stress yourself about it. A new job is very important. Keep God first in your heart (as I know you do) and He will balance it out for you.

Sandy, what has been happening?? Haven't seen you post in a few days. Miss ya!

i am going to ask the moderators to decide wether to post this or not? Reason being that i really don't mean any offense.
Sandy, so many times i have heard that phrase "be careful what we pray for". I honesty beieve that when God gives us the job etc. that we pray for, He has a reason. It could be that He wants us to thank Him for answering our prayer first of all. It could be that when we get that job we learn new skills, it could be that He will bring someone in our path that we might never have met. Or it could be that...ok i give u what u wanted...u know where u want to go in this path..............be patient and let me show you..teach you. Like when He led us to bible truths, everyone of us has a story to tell about how we ended up here, what a joy , a revelation it was and is to us all, in His revealing to us and opening our eyes and ears. The initial euphoria wears off, we as carnal beings want to know more....fast!
God led you to that job Sandy, cause that was what you prayed for, He has answered that prayer. Listen, wait learn, why He has brought you there. Be a servant first, to Him, have patience and He will show you why you were brought there and what it is you need to learn. Don't give up at the first hurdle. Patience.
Sandy, i really don't mean to offend you i have been there and am going through the same again. One day, maybe tomorrow we look back and see,and can say....yes Lord you answered my prayer because that was and is where you want me to be.
God Bless Sandie
