My friend F and I (A) had this conversation about God which I feel compelled to share….
F: Hello my dear, thank you for your message. As yet i have not found anywhere suitable. If you need to cancel its fine. Im thinking about cancelling. I got a full time job and will be moving back north so we can catch up another time if that works better? X
A: 😮 I don’t really want to cancel as birthdays cannot be shifted.
Will you be showcasing at the cookery show?
F: Hello my dear. Well! I part paid to attend but i need to find £1.5K to pay for props – so things are a little tight money wise until the end of the month. So, im not too bothered about postponing it.
A: Oh dear. Really sorry to hear that.
Maybe God can do something?
What other dates do you have? I’ll be happy to plan towards it.
F: God is in my bad books right now. We have fallen out.
A: We did too. But what has He done now?
F: He’s sending me back into the sky – hes given me a full time job after spending ten years working on my business. And! Before you say it – I can’t do both cooking and trading.
A: Just called you. I’m on the tube and have signal for a few stops
F: Dont worry
I have no signal at my location
A: Cooking and Trading?
F: Not funny
A: You are Trading? Sounds fun
I know
F: No its not
A: Maybe He has a plan
F: Yes, i start my course on next season
A:You say he sent you to work. How did that happen?
We need to talk!!!!?
Where are you tomorrow?
F: Well i have NO money and im so tired of being in this situation. I hate it
Im in church in the morming – in the south
A: I hate that too! I live by faith too
Oh? That’s far from me.
When can we talk if we don’t meet?
F: Me too! For ten years but im tired. I feel im loosinv my hope and i just dont have energy to do another ten years like this.
A: I get it.
But… I know
A: It’s really not about us
F: I often think about you
It’s about Him – our life
F: I know you understand
Me too
A: I go through hell after hell.
It looks glossy but….
F: I am with you.
A: God comes through in Small packages.
💃🏻💝
My daughter sent me money to buy groceries once
F: Oh man! Its just tough!
A: It’s humbling. Once a friend gave me food package from a food bank!
You know… I keep applying for jobs but I’m not getting anywhere so you know what… I soldier on
I think I had to choose to give up trying to understand…
F: I am fast running out of patiance. Other stuff happening too – to add to the mix.
Food bank! Oh man. You have more faith and determination than i do.
A: And deciding to let go
Not really.
F: Good plan. Let go and let God.
A: Just tired of fighting God
Hmmm. Can be hard too
But….God!
F: Indeed
A: Yes!
He’s the reason for everything
A: Hate to preach but I have to stand on His word and promise.
F: Yes
I know!
A: The government and social will change policies at the drop of a hat🎩
But God does not!
A: Sometimes I am so mad 😠 I say God I don’t want to talk to you right now. Good night.
F: Me too
F: Right now i feel he is just playing games with me.
A: But a voice in the head says, what if you don’t wake up?
A: He does too. I think. He loves us too
F: Its not my idea of what love is.
F: But then what do i know about love
A: I understand but…
But God is love (don’t want to preach)
He is 💕
