Sent Me An Angel
A close friend of mine has offered to help me pay the remaining fees I owed to the employer.
Somehow, our MSN conversation came upon me and I told her my career situation right now. She said it's not a problem for her to loan the amount to me, and that I shouldn't use "don't want to owe people money" as an excuse to not look for new opportunities.
When we ended our conversation, I thanked her for offering me this opportunity, and told her that I will inform her if I need her help. I have also promised her that I would increase my level of competency to avail myself to more opportunities.
A part of my brain was wondering. Have you heard the story of a man who prayed to God for help, but rejected all the help from the people who came his way, insisting that God will help him. Eventually, he died and when he was in heaven, he asked God why didn't He came to his rescue, and God reminded him of the various incidents when people came to his help and his refused.
I wonder if this is the kind of situation that I am in now. Yes, I know, the answer is pretty obvious. But a part of me is holding back and has it's reservations. Granted, my friend is genuinely concern about my situation and wanted to help me (at one point, she used the word "pathetic", but I know she doesn't mean it literally), I am uncomfortable getting myself indebt again.
Still, it is a back-up plan I could use.
And I want to thank God for showing His love through the people I interact with, for they accepted me for who I am, and gave what they could to me.
I am grateful.

Hmm, I had an "angel" incident about a year ago.
I do know what you mean - so many situations could be from God, or they could be a temptation to place our trust & reliance elsewhere. I've had both happen, and believe me, it really messes with your perception thereafter.
Of course, you are prayed for, PJ :)
p.s., A true friend loves you not for who you are, but in spite of... - a sure mark of a Christian!
p.p.s., Now don't take that the wrong way!! :P :D
Don't quite get what you mean, so whatever you meant, it sure wasn't taken in any wrong way :)
*clarification* A true friend loves us not because of who we are, but rather in spite of who we are - and I'm didn't want you to think I meant that personally :)
Oh! Okay... :) And I didn't know there is a wrong or right way to that comment :D
