Dear sisters,
Don't know why. I feel very happy today. The day at work is terrible though. 2 colleagues whom I used to be so close to turn their back on me. It had been so for the last few months, and more evident these days. I felt very hurt as I sense they do not even want to talk to me these days. You can look at them but they do not smile at you.
During times when I tried to initiatiate talks, I would be very happy when they respond. However, it seemed like another stab in your chest when the very next moment... they walked away for lunch without asking you... when they whispered by themselves in front of you ...they left the office without acknowledging... when they don't treat you as a friend anymore. Sisters, have you ever felt the same hurt?
Recently, John preached that King Josiah died younger than his evil grandad , King Manasseh, at 39 years old. So, what do you think? Is that fair or unfair? Yet God did that because he wanted to "spare Josiah's eyes from seeing the disaster of his people ~2Chron 34:23" since Josiah is a humble man of God.
Today I realised 1 thing. Whenever I am with these 2 colleagues of mine, I sinned more, gossipped more, tried to look good more... Truly, now that they disliked me, God is protecting me. Because deep down in my heart I know God does not want me to be yoked with them so much. Many times when I am with them, I caught myself sinning and feeling so guilty afterward.
Anyway, what a revelation! As I typed, my colleague has literally treated me unseen, though we are in the same room. Yet, I feel happier today.
This morning, I felt hurt but I saw an eagle soaring in the sky. Just a short while ago, I saw 2 eagles. What a sight!
" Those who hope in the Lord will soar with wings like eagles...."
What immense love and a great promise.
Hope you all have a great day today as we pray for the coming workshop!
Thank God also for you all who kept me happy cos though I am away from you, my encouragment is from this online fellowship.
Love,sk

Don't let them affect you. However close you might have been once upon a time, this is a secular relationship that does not last. We should and must pin our hopes far higher in the kingdom. It was a similar kind of situation that triggered off my Bipolar Disorder though I was not right for awhile already, don't let it affect you k? You've got God at the very least! :)
Love,

i have had exactly in the same situation just like you..for no reason my colleague who is sitting right next to me stop talking to me and walked away for lunch without asking me...left the office without acknowledging...then i also realised that when i am with her, i sinned more, gossipped more...now i whenever i am free i read my bible online, writes letters to God..instead of chatting away with her....i know God is protecting me also...hope i can spot an eagle soaring up the sky just like you.....

Thanks GOD for putting you & me together in the same working place. We can go lunch together & pray together. Our friendship really grows. I always think of you cos you r so close to me. When we are together, we talk more abt GOd and share more abt our walk w GOD. GOD definitely is protecting you & me. Actually I also seldom go lunch w my colleagues cos they complains a lot & v negative. I joined them become one of them. Sometimes, I rather be alone...or just go lunch w my roommate. Thanks GOD that I have a sis like you...
