Johnson Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:51:18 +0000 http://nourishthedream.com/2008/04/09/recession-or-opportunity/#comment-967 Wow, Michael. Thanks for joining us here and for sharing your situation. First and foremost, I think the best thing we can do is ask God to flood you with His peace and His wisdom. Being in a situation where you're physically tired, dealing with mental and emotional stress, and feeling alone... well, let's just say it doesn't lend itself to making the best decisions. I'd encourage you to arrange for yourself to have some alone time -- perhaps on a weekend -- where you can get quiet before God, pour out your heart to Him (like you may have already done), and allow Him to speak. Given the weightiness of the decisions you're making... it seems particularly important to do this... no? In the meantime, I'm asking God to give you Wisdom. Be encouraged, my friend! Better things are ahead! Wow, Michael. Thanks for joining us here and for sharing your situation.

I've got 3 weeks left on the payroll and they've starting looking for my re-placement.The bad thing is that I'm heavily in debt and that is adding to my frustration & anxiety.I call myself a Christian but I'm embarressed to say that I've got a little to much ego and cant leggo my ego. But I do have three years experience in the real estate business and that is where I feel can make the most rapid progress against these burdensomes debts that plague my self and family. I'm am associated with Century 21 locally and my town is a desirable destination to live in SE NC. I really am feeling upset over the entire situation and am leaning hard on God and His unfailing wisdom. He has proven to so many times in my life that Iam not alone and that HELOVESME I've got a fine family that has been encouraging me to stay in the job. But I get such a bad feeling of overwhelming duties and time constraints of this new job it really feels like the hot place. I argue with myself telling to put on my big boys shorties,& take the pain but the fact is I want to do it my way! Big trouble is I'm not sure if it GOD'S way:( Iknow that God lead me to the real estate business(3-4 years ago) but under these circumstances,all n all, I must look awfully foolish to the logical person with a wife and 11 yr old.
