The trials keep stacking up. I don't have a problem with that because I know in my heart these things will lead to a stronger man for the final mission that lies ahead. I trust fully in my Father to guide me through so, to me it's a Very Good Thing.
The people* that surround me do not see the bigger picture and exert pressure on me to yield to their shallow vision which ends at the tip of their noses. There are openings at places that most regular folks in these parts consider good secure employment with decent pay and excellent benefit packages.
Last fall, I caved and went to a bucks and benefits job, it didn't end well.
I know God needs me to work where I can be used to touch the lives of those I'm supposed to be aimed at. If I didn't have car trouble, I would have to chase these "good" jobs and God forbid, actually get hired!
If I tried to explain my calling to these people, I would be deemed nuts. I will go through the motions to please these folks who don't get it, to keep them off my back while I wait for the Lord to open a door for me to step through.
Finally, I do not give a mouses donkey for worldly gain, for such is less than zip, zero, nada compared to the Glory of God. To take temporary gain, merely for a softer life and to neglect eternity, now that is NUTS!
* Primarily; my wife & son but, there are peripheral persons who directly or indirectly through my wife & son try to "help" These are not bad people, they believe they are trying to help but, in truth they are impediments.
