[Faith-talk] faith to get a job

[rcubfank at sbcglobal.net]

I know Im not Andrew, but I want to answer this as well. I agree with 
everything you have said. I ,, unfortunately, have a diffferent situation: I 
was hoping to get back to work. I was going to go to a customer service 
assessment in LA. Uhnfor unfortunately, that is now going to be a 
pipedrream. Because of I still have a pic line in. Because of all of my 
previous infections, my rehab cousler wants me to get a note from a doctor 
that says I am free from infection. I have been told that willl never happen 
based on my previous track recore. This means I need to look for work at 
home if I waant to work. I'm stil prayhing about this matter to see if that 
is going to e a good idea.

Hi Andrew, well, there are several ways I could answer your
question, so let me throw a few things out there and perhaps
others will chime in.

First of all, I'm not sure that it shows a lack of faith if
someone is unemployed.  A lack of faith is giving up.  Yes,
people do give up looking for jobs.  And that may be what they
need to do, but that doesn't mean that that should be an excuse
to sit around and do nothing.  There are lots of volunteer
opportunities out there.  Find something to do as a volunteer and
serve the Lord that way.

Every day God puts things in our path to do.  Sometimes it's as
simple as sending a letter or email to someone you know is having
trouble and offering to pray for them, and then doing it.
Sometimes it's bigger stuff.

Why don't more of us have jobs? Well, there are several reasons I
think.  One of them is that people still have all the same old
misconceptions about blindness they always have had.  But another
thing that is happening is that technology is changing so rapidly
now that as soon as we find a fix for something technology
changes again, and we have to find another fix.  This happens to
sighted folks also.  A guy works in a field for thirty years, and
then some new way of doing that job comes along and boom, there's
a gun out of work.  It happens all the time.

So what can we do? We pray every day that God will show us just
what we are to do that day.  We do what we are asked to do out of
obedience to God whom we love.  Or whatever it is we believe in.
We get the best training we can, we do the best we can do within
our circumstances.  And never think that a job is beneath you.
Some people have started out in the lowliest positions within a
company and now they OWN the company.  And where there's a will,
there's a way.  If, at the end of the day, you have done your
very best, then that's all that God asks of us.    Blessings,
Debby and Neena
