I QUIT!!

Do you know those days when you just want to quit? I had one of those days today, it started off bad and it got worse. I was late for work, because I had overslept, I had horrible managers shout at me all day to 'work harder, faster, don't stop, clean, do something, don't just stand there'. I thought 'let me get my breath!'

I asked work for a favour and they will do it maybe or maybe not, depends if Dave feels like it. How the power pf being a schedule manager has gone to his head, he enjoys so much controlling people's lives so much. Yet God still loves him so I must too and I must forgive him for being so horrible to me.


Work has been really getting to me lately. I'm stuck in a rubbish job and I know for sure that its not for long. I know that I'm going to go into the training college hopefully in 2009.

But till then I can't stay there where today I just wanted to shout at Dave, 'well stuff, your crumby job, that pays rubbish, that doesn't help me out but I'm always helping you out when your short staffed. Stuff this job which I work myself into the ground while you stand around "managing" which really is doing nothing!! How I hate this job and I QUIT!!!!'


How now I wish I had said that, but I know that I cannot afford to be out of work for very long and wouldn't have another job to go into. Through I've tried so hard to get another job, but nobody wants me!


However there is one person I know who will always want me, whether I'm qualified or not. Which I know for a fact... I'm not. Whether I have enough experience or not, which I do not. Someone who has hired me already and I get paid more than the minimum wage!

I know someone who will never want to shout 'I QUIT!' at me or want me to quit from Him!


He is Jesus and He never QUITS!!


The Lord is my real boss and I shall not want. He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me. He gently reminds me to pray before I speak, And to do all things without murmuring and complaining. He reminds me that He is my Source and not my job. He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions That I might honor Him in everything I do. Even though I face absurd amounts of emails, System crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors And an aging body that doesn't cooperate every morning, I will not stop-for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power Will see me through. He raises me up, Even when they fail to promote me. He claims me as His own, Even when the company threatens to let me go. His faithfulness and love Are better than any bonus check. His retirement plan beats every 401K there is! When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer And for that, I bless His Name.

Amen that God does not QUIT!

Clarem a quote from Max Lucado for you:

Don’t Give Up!
"It is finished.”
John 19:30

Our inability to finish what we start is seen in the smallest of things: A partly mowed lawn. A half-read book.

Or, it shows up in life’s most painful areas: An abandoned child. A wrecked marriage.

Any chance I’m addressing someone who is considering giving up? If I am, I want to encourage you to remain. I want to encourage you to remember Jesus’ determination on the cross.

Jesus didn’t quit. But don’t think for one minute that he wasn’t tempted to. Did he ever want to quit? You bet.

That’s why his words are so splendid. “It is finished"

Thankyou so much! I may not know who you are but thankyou and I thank God that He sent you to encourage me!
