Phoenix111,
Well, I could say: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters," Colossians 3:23 (NIV), but not sure that helps as much as it should.
If I may ask, what is it about your job that drains you soul?
I've had four serious jobs in my life and they lasted 25 years, 13 years, 4 years, and I am into my 2nd month of job #4. Aside from job #3 leaving a bad taste in my mouth, I have enjoyed all of them.
I work in downtown Miami, FL. If you've not been here, Miami, FL is a place where homeless people starve within walking distance from multi-million dollar houses. The line between the haves and have nots is pretty visible. While I try to help all those I can, there are just too many. I do know that there but for the grace of God, go I. No matter how bad it is, there is always someone standing right behind you having a harder time. Yes, this does not always mean much, when you wake up not looking forward to going to work in a place you do not want to spend any time at; but , there are those that would probably fight you for your job.
I do not know anything about your circumstances, don't even know your gender. I would guess you might be from Phoenix, but that would be too obvious. Let God do His thing and He will. The end of job #3 changed my life. I, who had turned my back on God for so many years, asked for so much and He heard everything and did everything. He not only gave me what I asked for, but gave me thinks I did not know I wanted. Now all I ask for is peace and tranquility and He is still listening.
He did it again yesterday. For weeks I have been meaning to buy some Christian music CDs to listed to in the car, as I drive to and from my office. I searched every station on my radio, both FM and AM, and found nothing. I was thinking about it yesterday and then realized I was listening to Christian music on the radio. Apparently, as I was turning the corner, my thumb hit the "search" button on the steering wheel and the search stopped at 90.9. What what is 90.9? . . . . . . . . . . wait for it . . . . .. . "WLFE is a radio station broadcasting a Contemporary Christian format. Licensed to Cutler Bay, Florida" Oh yes, for the record, I work in Miami, FL, but I live in Cutler Bay, FL. Go figure.
As I am sure you already do, wake up every morning and thank Him for that gift. At night, thank Him for the day that is about to pass. In between, find pleasure in the fact that you have a job and that every morning is a new page yet to be written on. Every day could be the beginning of the best day of your life. As Gloria Estefan likes to say "There's always tomorrow..."
Anyway, I hope God smiles on you sooner rather than later, but I know He will in His own time. In the mean while, I and your CF family are here 24/7.
