I GIVE UP. . .I QUIT. . .IT'S TOO MUCH. . .

[Debbie G]

Back in September when Jenna resigned as the office manager, I thought this would be a great opportunity. However, I quickly found it difficult to juggle research and other efforts I was involved in and have time left for my family.  After less than a week I called several friends to say I didn’t think I would be able to handle working at the office in addition to my other endeavors.  This weighed heavy on my mind for several days then one morning on my way to work as I turned on the radio I heard Charles Stanley say “You asked God to put you here and now your complaining; God did his part now you have to stand up and do yours.” 

Yesterday I attended an event sponsored by Bear Witness; Agenda 21 Conference – Save the Republic.  I learned more disturbing facts regarding the condition of our nation. How can I help with this effort too?  What are we going to do?

I spent the night trying to digest all this new information and wondering how I could make an impact on yet another issue.  This morning when I checked my email I had more than 65 emails to go through, ugh.  After more than two hours I had finally finished going through the emails. However, had yet to begin looking into the information from yesterday.  I was feeling overwhelmed and defeated.

It was time to put this on the shelf and take care of some family things, so I decided to head to the grocery store.  Sitting in my car at the light, people everywhere, I felt so alone, defeated, and just felt like saying “I QUIT.”  I don’t know what made me turn on the radio, but I did.  Since I was using my husband’s car I did not know what station would come on, but as soon as I turned on the radio I heard “Don’t try to take care of everything, but pray for everything then ask God for what you need and listen, he will tell you what to do.”  This statement was directed to me; I am trying to take care of things without knowing what the “big picture” is. 

I finished the grocery shopping and got in the car to head back home.  Thinking about what I heard just a short time before and realizing that with God everything is possible.  Listening to the radio, I was at the top of the Buchman Bridge and heard this statement on the same station, “Coincidence is spelled GOD.” 

The battle we are in for our nation and for those around the world depending on our success is in God’s hands and for that I am thankful.  We cannot take care of everything, but we can pray for everything and seek God’s guidance.  

There have been so many times recently when I feel there is no answer and no hope as we are up against so many obstacles, but each time I get to this point God reaches out and lets me know he is there.  Thank you Father for your words of wisdom today, I feel much better.

All my love,

Debbie

Debbie,

I learned so much NEW stuff, also.  It truly is mined blowing, but NOT impossible, because of GOD.  HE is using US, as HE used the angels. UNITED WE STAND.  The difference between us and the military-they can't balance their time with family, they are separated from their family.  But believe me, WE are fighting the same fight.   God Bless You

Oh, Debbie, you made me cry.  I've been feeling exactly the same way.  I've been asking God for direction and purpose for each endeavor, and it seems that much of the battle is for naught.  Was talking w/one of the speakers yesterday, and she too gets discouraged (and angry!).  We agreed that just when we are so angry and feeling defeated is when God throws out another rope to us.  I was reading in Isaiah recently that "...the enemy will wear out the Saints."  We just know too much to quit.  Thank you for this post; I often wonder how you do it.

They just keep throwing it at us.....we can't give up or they win.  Sometimes we have to take a break to retain our sanity....but we can't give up.

Thanks Debbie.....  I, too, was at the Bear Witness event and came away feeling much more knowledgable, but much more frightened.  Then I watched Glenn Beck today and he and David Barton were talking about just doing what God has put us here to do in our little corner of the world.....very similar to your thoughts. Together we can make a difference.....God is guiding us all!

 

One of the successes our local Tea party has had is getting one of our own elected to the city council.  She is well aware of UN Agenda 21......we are very excited!  She won the election by 60% so maybe people are waking up.  Another success we have had is stopping the teachers union and school board from voting in a private health clinic for school employees and their families at tax payers' expense!!!  We got the State's Attorney's office involved because they were not following FL Sunshine State Laws!  Little by little, we are educating and making a difference in our communities.  We need to stick together....this is very worthwhile work!

Thanks for sharing......we all need to be reminded to have faith.  I, too, experience amazing "coincidences".....so I know we are being divinely led!  Susie Stahl

I have felt the same way many times, it was refreshing to read your blog.  I live in CA - one of the most left wing states in the union.  Agenda 21, and it's efforts to destroy our freedoms, are alive and well, but even here people are fighting back.   We must keep pushing forward and praying for GOD's strength and his guidance.  Keep up the good work.

B"H.  Amen!

If I am not for myself, Who will be?  If I am only for myself, What am I? And if not now, when?  Each of us has our part. That is the only thing we will give account for.  For me:  Was I the best Dvora I could be? ( with G*d's help, of course! )  May He strengthen and guide you, Deb, and all that involved.

Debbie, Keep up the Faith, To Live is to do God'S work,  Have you spelled LIVE backwards Lately, Move Forward We appreciate all you Do. We left the Agenda 21 Conference with the same thoughts. You have a lot of patriots ourt here behind you.

Debbie,

I left the meeting yesterday by Baer witness with the same emotions and feeling. With a heavy heart

we 5 talked all the way back home. Only God and the angels he sent to protect Israel in the BIBLE

will save our America. He is faithful and he wins the Victory. Tired but ready to start again. We can

do this together.

What a great post Debbie. I've been feeling the same as you for quite swipe...even more so the last few weeks. Thank you for sharing your story today. It gives me hope!
