When God says no...
Given the complexity of my working life at the moment I was in severe danger of drowning in a sea of self-pity when I was talking to a friend who made a chance remark. It was one of those where I thought, oh,yeah! Why didn't I think of that - doh! She said to me that it's obviously not meant to be that you stay where you are working. I'd kind of overlooked this. I had prayed and God has now shut the door firmly and my last day is tomorrow. I also read somewhere that a "no" is not rejection. I also went to the Cathedral at lunchtime for some quiet reflection which helped. I know now that this is not where God wants me to be so it is easier to accept. I just feel so much lighter now this has been pinted out to me!
Contrast this to yesterday when I was experiencing the mega sulks with God and demanded encouragement. I was really surprised when I opened a letter about my hearing aid and received £50 of vouchers for my inconvenience!!
Mmm... really must learn to trust and obey!
Well tomorrow is my last day but I know God will provide.
