Been a fool

[Mave]

To make a long story short, I succumbed to one of those sales gimmicks/marketing tricks, committed myself to something I shouldn't have and now, am feeling pretty [SIZE="5"]STUPID[/SIZE].

Last night, I told God to please forgive His idiotic servant who foolishly fell under the sweet talks of the salesperson. I also pray that He'll have mercy and help me pick myself up from here.

What makes me feel even worst is I was just starting to save up for a mission trip and the very next day, I threw money out the window. What was I thinking? Mave, how could you be so dumb?

Don't worry, it's not like I'm going bankrupt. It's just that I could have managed my financials a little more wisely and not be so 'adventurous.' For 27 years of my life, I don't think I've ever made a bad judgment on financials. Yesterday probably changed that record.

I don't know. Maybe something good will come out from this but I have no clue of what will happen in the future and thus, am uncertain and can't help dissing myself. Maybe God wants to teach me not to use my finances as my security and to trust Him in EVERYTHING.

Pls pray for me (pray for anything you think is appropriate, I really don't know what to plea for) since I'm also having a rough time at my workplace. As a whole, I'm feeling terribly miserable. Some lessons are learnt the hard way!

I'll pray for you Mave! I pray that this trial will get you to the level of faith that GOD wants you to be in. I also pray that you will learn the mischievious tricks of salespeople...they can be sneaky at times. By the way, is there no way that you can get out of it? I mean, most things through phone are not closed deals. I recommend that you try to get your money back, break the commitment, or something.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Well, you are not alone, sister. Of course, it's more a part of my nature to do stupid things, I think. I can empathize with workplace misery, too. You will find your way thrtough it, I have confidence.

Praying, Mave. I know a bit how you feel. I nearly got into those sales jobs once myself. My aunt was able to talk me out of it, 'cause she fell into the trap as well, and it's VERY hard to get out of. But she did, and you can too .

I'm sorry to hear about this. You know I'll be praying for you.

I'll pray for you Mave.

I used to be a loan officer, so I know from experience that most commissioned salespeople who continue in sales for any length of time will tell you anything you want to hear just to make a sale. Not everyone in sales are crooked, but many are.

Caveat Emptor.

Sorry about the job as well. I do know that God grows us in many ways when we are in a job we don't always like, but soldier on and do our best anyway. I've grown in patience and tact in jobs like that.
