Misinformed
So, I don't really get into the habit of bashing companies, probably because I'm not very business minded, but I have to take this moment to say that if you are thinking about ever using Alltel for cell phone service, reconsider. I am so frustrated, I don't even know what to say. I haven't really ever gotten angry with a customer service rep before; I almost feel like calling back and apologizing. How can a company hold you to a contract that you never agreed to or was even aware of. Nothing verbal, nothing written, no where explaining that I am "renewing" a contract. Well, now, because I guess I wasn't smart enough to ask or maybe just misinformed, I'm going to be penalized for someone else's inability to communicate. Oh well, I guess my venting is over (sorry for those who think it unnecessary). There's nothing else I can do but pay up and never deal with them again. I pray no one who reads this has the same experience I just had.
This is just something I wrote down for someone I love. I thought I might share it...
You cannot by your own strength make it through what God has set forth in your life. It is only by His strength that anyone can endure the trials, tribulation, and testing that Christians suffer in this world. You never know why God is bringing something into your life or what lessons can be learned from it in the beginning. But, how are we ever to weather these storms without the divine means of our Creator?
[Paul speaking]
"Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weakness, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me."
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults,
And with my song I shall thank Him.
Psalm 28:7
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
