Trusting God (part 3)

Yesterday I received great and exciting news from a close friend that has turned the tables on our situation.  I also heard from another friend whom has an attorney-friend near me who confirms my previous close friend's news!


  Upon learning this great news from both friends, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from me, the "chains" from my hands and feet had been dissolved, and I was given a "weapon" with which to enable me to fight back.  Not only could this person no longer intimidate me, but the ball was in my court, and anything he did, technically speaking, I could bring up against him.

  So then, here I was, basically an infant with an RPG unit...a big weapon but with no idea as to how to use it (all this is metaphorical to express emphasis...no actual weapons are in either of our possessions...as far as I know).  I was given chance for me to fight back and be sure that the truth is communicated, thus clearing my name.

But then, my wife reminded me of something...she asked what the purpose would be?  To keep our friends?  If they were really our friends, they wouldn't believe the lies in the first place.  If they really cared, they'd call to see how we're doing...but no calls have been made.  So that can't be the purpose.  

  "Honestly", I said, "I'd like to see this person taken out of leadership...I want them to be humbled and brought to repentance to God, to those whom he's hurt, and also to me...I want him off the cloud he put himself onto."  But my wife reminded me that that's not my job...God needs to do that to him, not me.

  Maybe it's to clear my name...among others, among the work field...my point is that Justice needs to be done.  But again my wife reminded me that the only righteous justice that can truly be done in this situation can only be served by the Lord Himself.  It's out of our hands.  The news from our friends was awesome, but if anything, it freed us.  If we use it against the person whom was bullying us, then we're getting into God's way and He can't do what we asked Him to do in the first place.

So now, my struggle is fighting off the emotions that are suggesting I do things that would actually be putting me in God's way.  Please pray for us.

Trusting God (part 2)

It's not easy to do when you have so much fear of the unknown going on around you.
 
My wife & I have been praying every day since this event (a good discipline that we'd like to continue infinitely).  Yesterday, a Christian-friend of my wife took us out to lunch.  Afterwards, they did some window-shopping as I ran some errands (the Lord's blessed us with some financial help) and got a haircut.  Then in the evening, we worked out at the gym.

  I haven't forgotten anything that happened.  It may sound as if we're just trying to become busy, but in fact, we're both deeply mourning those whom were left behind, as well as the injustice committed.  My wife and I have just given up everything going on here to the Lord.  It's tough though...REALLY tough, especially since I'm not receiving any phone calls or emails from any of our friends from among the place of this terrible event...makes me wonder what lies are being told in order to keep them from wanting to, which burns from within even more because I want to say something.  But my wife continues to remind me that Jesus is working on this, and I just need to stay out of His way.  Plus, taking things into my own hands would only make things bad.
