I was not really given a choice. My boss made it clear, I had to change shifts, no other choice. Besides leaving. I was not about to lose my job over this.
Another story. Met a woman at church. We went out, had a nice time. I asked her to go with me to a home bible study class from the Singles at church. We got to the house, went in. The hostess knew me, but not her. My friend the hostess looked at me and than at my date. She pulled me aside and said......"John I don't know why I'm telling you this, but you shouldn't be with her" I thought to myself, "GOD I don't care , I'm choosing her" I knew this was GOD's hand. I didn't care. About 2 weeks later I went out with her again. She told me, "GOD spoke to me and told me to move to Denver" About a week later she moved. A couple of weeks later I got a postcard from her, from Denver. She said she found a church and had met someone there.
you know John, you read to me like the kinds of people that make agreements and break them for stupid reasons like a good example is:
i made an agreement with another human being to [[help them]] do something. we agreed it was on Monday. Monday arrived, we met, and it down poured rain. not for just 5 minutes, but for hours that day. the person said to me, see, the World just hates me. i finally get help and it rains so bad i cannot be helped. i said, the world may indeed hate you, but, my God, is saying this rain just means today was not the right day to do this. i said, i will be back Thursday. of course, his reply, what will happen Thursday that will make my day worse? Thursday came, he got his help, all worked out in the end.
This deal, between that person and myself [[was ALWAYS]] going to happen. it did not happen on Monday, but, it did happen on Thursday.
one person, was ready to quit and say LOOK, IT's a SIGN from GOD, I am skewed. the other one, saw God doing something and knew the timing wasn't right, but, ALWAYS believed it would happen. and ultimately, the one who Believed, it did happen for that Person.
Then we have, You, John!
i got moved to another shift, God hates me...boooohoooooooooooooooooooo
at this point, You, just described, Something, that "literally Does Not Exist" in the Bible, and attributed towards God, at any fashion AT ALL.
You just defined God as hating you, or causing you to be Single or whatever EXCUSE you have in life, YOU, have found a way to {{"APPLY"}} your own FAULTY DECISION MAKING to God! You decided the Chance at this Woman was done. Nowhere, did God, decide that. You, JOHN, CHOSE that on YOUR IDEALISM. ...and then you LIE to Others and say, GOD HATES ME!
Nope, the [[ONLY ONE]] I "see" HURTING YOU, JOHN, is YOU and YOUR MENTAL DECISION MAKING CAPABILITIES!
and the Woman, who moved to Denver, She, no doubt could pick up on that.
You, John, are the type of person, that I personally meet and say, it ain't never going to ever be that persons fault for anything, even, if they get CAUGHT doing it. It's ALWAYS YOUR FAULT, John, YOU, just BLAME GOD for it!
He KNOWS what You're doing, John. God, He, ain't fooled by You!
