I can imagine that you are fed up with your MLCer boss since you just got over the MLC of your H! Good luck with getting the new job. Take care and have a good rest of the week.
Reminds me of a question. Old school prayers involved burnt offerings...why don't we do that anymore? You ever wonder if God is like..."Damn, I miss the old days of burnt offerings..."

It’s the song of the redeemed Rising from the African plain It’s the song of the forgiven Drowning out the Amazon rain The song of Asian believers Filled with God’s holy fire It’s every tribe, every tongue, every nation A love song born of a grateful choir
It’s all God’s children singing Glory, glory, hallelujah He reigns, He reigns It’s all God’s children singing Glory, glory, hallelujah He reigns, He reigns
Let it rise about the four winds Caught up in the heavenly sound Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals To the faithful gathered underground Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation Some were meant to persist Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples None rings truer than this
And all the powers of darkness Tremble at what they’ve just heard ‘Cause all the powers of darkness Can’t drown out a single word
When all God’s children sing out Glory, glory, hallelujah He reigns, He reigns All God’s people singing Glory, glory, hallelujah He reigns, He reigns
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
The heavenly Father wants His children talking with Him. Jesus gave an invitation to speak with God about anything. He said that if you have a need, ask; if you seek answers, you will find them; if you want opportunities to open up, knock and He will respond (Matt. 7:7-8). Even so, there are believers who do not bother communicating with the Lord, except in emergencies.
Forsaking prayer is costly to a person's well-being. Those who will not make time for God daily are on a slippery slope. They slide through weariness, discouragement, and doubt to land in a testimony-damaging situation. Today we will focus on the first phase--weariness. Tomorrow we can examine the rest of the descent.
Certain situations take an emotional, physical, and spiritual toll--we call these burdens. Such low points can wear us out if we try to endure them alone. But God does not intend for that weight to fall on our shoulders. In fact, the Bible commands that those loads be cast upon Jesus Christ (Ps. 55:22). "Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden," cries David in Psalm 68:19. Remember, He is doing all the work to straighten out your circumstances anyway. So there's no point in both Him and you carrying that weight.
Hauling all our worries and cares around is wearying because we are not built for such loads. In God's design, His strength fills the believer to capacity. Picture Jesus' shoulders just above your own--with Him bearing your problems. The burden does not disappear, but it feels blessedly lighter when you hand it over to the Lord.
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
