Nadas

[Guest guest]

You know how my faith was really tested and affirmed this past year

was when nada was contemplating taking a job 5 hours north of me

w/the company she's worked for over the past 30 years. It was an

interdepartmental transfer and promotion. Well I said some things

like 'we have a nice relationship now and I certainly hope you don't

expect to being coming to see us all the time' and stuff like that.

By the way, she lives 18 hours driving now and so living 5 hours away

and in the same state is TOO close for me, way too close. Anyway, I

was so anxious about this potential and dh and I were contemplating

moving further out west if she did get the job as there's no way we

want her in our lives or the lives of our kids to that degree (no

degree now though - nc as of this year for the first time ever). But

the Lord must have heard my pleas and prayers as well as the prayers

of several friends who were also hoping we wouldn't have to move as

nada did not get the job- thanks be to God! That really affirms my

faith and trust in God, that He is protecting me. She, of course,

got very enraged about not getting the job, but oh well. I knew it

was the power of prayer in action and dh and I both are releasing a

sigh of relief as we love our life here far, far away from nada and

FOO and their drama and craziness. We definitely don't want to raise

our kids in that mess and have even contemplated going across the big

pond if push came to pull.

Hope everyone else can feel the love of God in this upcoming year of

dealing w/the resident borderlines in your life. It is hard!!!

OOOPPPS- I'm so sorry KOs- this was suppose to be posted on another

board and I am very apologetic for accidentally throwing this on this

board as there's no way I even remotely want to discuss religion

here. I'm really sorry. I also go to the other board for nons of

Christian beliefs and thought I was posting on there. Wow- egg on my

face a little right now. Hence the thread title- not all have nadas

on the other board but seems a dumb title for this board since

everyone has a nada. OOPPS again. Hope I definitely did not offend

anyone. Now you've all got a glimspe into my faith life and so sorry

for sharing too much information for some who've most assuredly been

brow beaten w/Christianity by a messed up nada.

I feel really stupid now. Guess I need to work on 'not being perfect'

huh? Again, much apologies and please don't respond. I meant to share

this w/a few KOs on the other board.
