Coming out of Egypt

I am listening to a message on CD I got from church on Sunday. My mom told me to pick it up because she thought I needed to here it. The message is about trusting God to come out of your Egypt. Stuck in a rut but staying in it because you have become comfortable and complacent. I often say that my season is over at my job because I have gotten all that I can from it.


I took the job because I thought it was going to lead to another level in the company but I realize that God gave me this job, not for the preparation it would give me but for the people I would meet while here. I often prayed that I would find girlfriends. I didn't hang with girls when I was in college except maybe one or two. I have always gotten a lot of flack from other females so I stayed away. Well, I have been blessed and met some of the most wonderful ladies I have ever known. I know them now and know that if I were to leave I would keep in touch. Other than speaking with them, I find no gratification in my work environment. There is no room to move up and frankly if there were I probably would not want it here anyway. I have great bosses who, for the most part, don't get on my nerves and I enjoy talking to. But talking and making friends has nothing to do with work and I need to move on.

My job is definitely my Egypt. I make good money and do not have a hard time paying my bills. The minister said it is easy to trust your job because you know you are going to get a paycheck. The question is can you trust God. My check is needed to pay bills and I have always been afraid that things would be too difficult if I left my job to pursue another career. I have to get in my word and talk to Jake because I cannot be here much longer. I am always being told to smile and that I look unhappy because I am unhappy. I thought that it would be too much to get married, by a house and change jobs in the same year but I need to do something quick. This message may be the start of my deliverance from Egypt.
