Sometimes I think that is exactly what God does. When we cannot make moves or changes on our own, He will sometimes make those moves on our behalf. That happened to me this year with a relationship. Some changes needed to be made, but I didn't want to see that and so I tried to "manage it on my own" (such a smart move...NOT!). I believe God eventually said, "You know what...if you can't take yourself out of this, or make the appropriate changes, then I will"...and you know what? He did. And it was PAINFUL!
I am hoping that the next time, I will be more aware, listen more closely, be willing to act on HIS leading...I am sure that that course would be the better one, and such a less painful one!
I talked to a dear friend today about a situation she is struggling with: LOVES her job, but it has become increasingly dysfunctional to the point of affecting her health, her family and her friends...her JOY. I know it's hard to give up on something you love (and we're not always called to!), but sometimes if we can't set limits for ourselves I believe we have a loving Father who will do it for us.
SO...this if for you CS. I am praying for enough rest, refreshment and peace that you can
"come apart" and think and make some decisions: to put in some God-ordered, God-ordained boundaries. I know God will bless it if you do...and if you don't, he will help you, as well as let you learn the lessen. Trust me, while "a great growth opportunity"...so NOT fun! You are loved and in my prayers!
