He knows the bigger picture

The feeling of discouragement/disappointment is strong right now. So I went to my laptop and was going to do some research. Facebook is the first page that opens when I open up Internet Explorer and this is what popped up:

IBibleVerses

The same God that opens doors will close doors. Maybe you prayed and didn’t get the job you really wanted or a relationship didn’t work out. It’s easy to allow rejection to lead to discouragement and think that God is not working in your life. But God sees the bigger picture for your life. He knows where every road is leading and where the dead ends are. Proverbs 20:24 says, “A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?” When you realize you are in the palm of God’s hand and that nothing happens without His divine purpose, then you will begin to see and realize that the closed doors are just as important as the open doors.

You see, I've worked with the same group at work and I thought I was doing a great job but it appears that the new project manager just doesn't feel the same way. He keeps knocking me down and discouraging me over and over and over again. He's a micromanager and I really hate going to work anymore. That just isn't me to not want to go to work! I used to love working. Even my boss seems to be less than thrilled. Yet, I got very high reviews on my recent review. Maybe I'm over reacting. I have to be because I just finished our first 3D greenfield substation. We submitted it to our client and they had zero comments to send back to us. That NEVER happens. And yet, my boss and new project manager are acting this way.

So, when I saw the entry from IBibleVerses it made me feel better. This post reminded me that God does care and He does know the bigger picture.

I wasn't sure about applying for a new job in Brea California. I have no idea if I should have applied but I guess, I'll see.

So what if the 'powers that be' at work don't appreciate my hard work? God knows. God does. He's the only power that I care about.
