I feel helpless to help you, helpless to change the system knowing all the while that the system "makes you" who you are and who you are becoming. Whether it is the right time to make the jump is yet to be determined. Maybe the change you seek is from the inside out not the outside in. Am I speaking of your individual change or the change of the system as a whole? Who knows? Maybe I don't either. I do know that I have seen God's hand in many things around me and it is not always apparent your direction ahead. He doesn't always want us to know the direction and why things happen the way they do. We are not him, we are constantly being challenged and face things we don't want to face. I have just been feeling his hand a great deal lately and we are yet to see his plans for you. Happy Thanksgiving! I have read this post several times in the past week or so and it makes me sad.
