Still not giving up...

The job interview seemed to go well Friday. They'll call me in for a second interview if my references work out. They should work out.

I'm still not giving up. There's part of me that wants to. But Holy Spirit just isn't allowing me to give up here.

I still get the comment from people from time to time "maybe you should think about going back home". The thought comes to my head all the time! But every time, the Holy Spirit says "NO".

Those who are telling me to go home are ultimately telling me to let the circumstances control me. They may not be meaning to do that, but that's what they're doing. Even a few people here at Bethel Church have told me that I should go home. However, if they say that, they're essentially letting the very strongholds they say they have authority over control me, and in a way, control them as well.

Now is not the time to quit! I'm done quitting things mid-stream.

I need people's support. I don't mean financial support, though that helps. What I mean are people's words of encouragement. I've had prophetic words that have confirmed that I'm supposed to be there. No, things aren't working out like I think they're working out. But just because things don't work out like you want them to doesn't mean you're not supposed to be there.

If you can't support me with words of encouragement to stay here, stay silent. I don't want your word curses spoken. But I welcome the encouragement, especially in the times I feel like giving up.

I've been going back and forth a lot between wanting to stay and wanting to give up. But I know in my heart I can't give up.
