Frustration...
Have you ever been so disappointed in someone that you care about that it effects everything that you do? You try to shake it, but it just keeps coming back? I am at a strange place right now. I am frustrated, trying to do my assignment, the assignment that God has given me, but I keep running into a road block... I have to stay focused on who has given me the assignment. I have to remember that I am here to serve God, to help further His Kingdom... It's hard sometimes. I want to get an A on my assignment. I want to hear "well done, my good and faithful servant..."
I know everything will work out. It's just hard when the people who you think are for you, sometimes are against you... you don't know if it is on purpose... it just hurts...

Welcome to the Road to "Well Done..."
the hardest part in obeying God is the disappointment that comes from people who let us down along the way. Been at this for quite a while and it is still no easy thing ;)
You've got the right idea "stay focused on the one who gave the assignment"
Be Encouraged!
Thanks for the encouragement... It is a tough journey, but I'm up for the battle!!!
God allows us to experience disappointment with humans, cuz it forces us to ultimately depend on Him.
One of my favorite hymns says:
"On Christ the solid rock I stand, ALL other ground is sinking sand.."
Ain't that tha truth! I'm "sinking sand" too, though. I have to depend on God to help me to do what I'm supposed to do, when others depend on me. It's only by the grace of God. Cuz sometimes I don't wanna start/finish my assignment.
Without Him, we can do nothing. But with Him, we can do all things — including deal with the failures of our fellow fallen human beings.
Be encouraged. He sees. He knows. He cares. He provides more grace, when the heat gets turned up.
Thanks for the encouragement.... I needed that! On Christ the solid rock I stand... ALL other ground is sinking sand.
I feel you about being disappointed in someone. With so much junk and garbage coming at you and you are wading through what smells bad - it is hard to keep focus on the assignment indeed. My motto is to trust God but sometimes, I forget... please read my blog at http://testingmyfaith.blogspot.com/
