Recent Revelation

Dear Therapeutic Blog,

I feel like that God has uncovered some of my recent angst to help me cope with all the frustration that I’ve had lately. It goes something like this:

 

I used to be in a position of authority at work and now in a position of a total absence of authority.

I used to be in a place of influence with the head soccer coach and the leaders of the soccer organization and now I can’t even spell the coaches last name let alone have any understanding of this current organization.

I used to be in a church where everything was appropriately timed and rehearsed and everyone was exceptional at what they did and now I am in a church that’s growing in that direction but doesn’t have the resources.

My wife used to love her house and access to her friends and now we are in a work in progress home and barely have any friends.

 

In essence, every part of my life is dramatically different and I am having to adjust. It’s been very difficult. For so long I was happy with the ways that I was used to. If I didn’t like something in soccer, I had the friends and influence to see a change. My opinions were sought. Now, I am a nobody.

 

Yep…you nailed it. Pride. Pride of where I was and what I had accomplished. Now, I have to learn new ways to communicate and deal with others. Unfortunately, I am failing on the “plays nice with others” category in too many areas and the adjustment time is extremely slow.

 

At least I understand WHAT it is I am upset about…perhaps now God will reveal the way to cope with that for His glory. In a funny way I am very happy to know what my problem is (*pride*) because I now know what to pray for…Thanks Lord.

 

Signed,

A work in progress
