So I'm gonna apologize to start. I'm hoping for some encouragement from someone that does a better job a being a patient Christian than me. But here it goes. I hate thieves, hate them. I would seriously kill first ask questions later if a person was robbing me. But last year I lost a Nikon rangefinder that I saved and worked for for a long time, also had a bushnell cam stolen. But today I lost 150 cash. Have no idea where it is. Everything that was in my pockets that day was on the counter this morning except the cash. I feel like when I lose things for no reason. Rangefinder falls out of pocket while walking through new public land or money just vanishes. It's like god has stolen from me. Like I don't live my life good enough so he takes things back. I hate it. I'm tired of it. Again sorry rant done, if I didn't get it off my chest I would be drinking and I got work tomorrow.
Keep your head up bro. You lose things like my wife lol. I know it can be frustrating but who knows you may fimd your cash. Ive been to the point where ive wanted to drink due to financial difficulties (trust me my wife and I just graduated college) but i always think that drinking cost moneybso if I drink to make myself feel better then im more in the hole. Good luck amd I hope things get better for you. Ill say a prayer for you tonight. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk 4
I feel you, dude. I lose crap all the time. I am pretty much guaranteed to lose something if I place it somewhere specific "so I won't forget where I put it." Then I buy another and find the original a day later, whereby I have lost the receipt for the replacement so I can't take it back. However, drinking to drown sorrows is self-theft. Stealing your time, your health, and your money, from yourself. I say this as an admitted self-kleptomaniac. Future me often loathes historical me; however present me is usually pretty happy.
stop looking for it. i lost 350 last yr and was going crazy looking for it. i stopped careing and found it 2 weeks later under my tv! good luck man.
Maybe God is involved in our little lives on every tiny issue. But I doubt it. Not to say He wouldn't get involved if we ask, but to say he controls every aspect of the things that happen to us is like saying "the devil made me do it" every time we say a cuss word or look at porn. God is in control, but sometimes bad stuff happens and he's just waiting to see if we will call on him for guidance. I feel the same way when loved ones die and people blame God. Well if you believe in God, he already told you that are lives are not infinite on this earth and that we will die. Just like he told you there would be tough times in this world. Losing $150 cash is very hard, and I'm sorry to hear that it happened. It's just getting confused on what God means by "All knowing". That's not the same as "All doing." Good luck. I will pray you find the money, or are given an opportunity to earn more soon.
Sorry to hear brother, been there done that (won't say amount). Frustration occurs in life, more or less it is the one consistent thing we're guaranteed. We will always be experiencing it till the day we pass on, so we might as well deal with it. I've began to understand the saying, "It takes far much more out of a person to be bitter than to be happy." It's with that thought I strive to not hold onto bitterness or anger or frustration when life takes the inevitable dumps on us, sometimes multiple times a day...hour even. It is then that the hardest thing we can do is accept them and just keep on being thankful and smiling. Amidst everything in life, if we have the ability to be frustrated or angered we have something to be thankful for....we still have life. At times it doesn't help much in our human minds but in our souls (if you are a believer in Christ) we can find peace that God has still allowed us to breathe another time and though we may not understand anything we can know that. Sometimes all we can do is be thankful and smile about what we got, because it is the only thing we can do. Blessings brother.
