We so much need to keep our hearts affixed on love. The Lord has a way to bring us back to Him. I chased what I thought would make me happy, spent all my time at work climbing the ladder at a trucking company. Fianally got two of my own terminals and the company (18,000 employee's) went bankrupt. In that time I destroyed my marriage, alienated my kids, went back to drinking and became absolutely miserable.
Since that time I have been through a failed business start up, lost lots of money(I am still paying) but the Lord sent a laborer into my life through that failed business. The Lord brought me to a place where I had to make a choice, to rely on Him or not. Is the Lords promises true or not. There are days when I fail and there are days when I trust Him completely. There have been many months when tithing has ment not enough for the house payment but tithed anyways and I am still In my house and the mortgage is current. The job I have now is the place where the Lord wants me. I know because I kept going to interview after interview and always ending up as the person who did not get picked between the last two candidates. I thanked the Lord in prayer for the place he wanted me in and within days I was employed for a company I used to work for and they started me at the wage I would have been at if I had never left 9 years earlier with all the cost of living and merit increases. Praise God!!!!
It is not glamorous work, but everyone knows I love the Lord and we have bible studies at lunch, and talk about the Lord whenever the opportunity presents it's self.
My marriage is being restored, my relationship with my kids has dramaticly improved and I have peace. All of this has happened because of Him, because I am busy doing the work of the Lord, I need to do more I still am not giving Him 100%. These seemingly dead end jobs are alot of times blessings and positionings of the Lord to do His work.

Halleiluah!!!
