Job

Whenever everything in life seems to go wrong, I think of old man Job. Sure, he seemed like any ordinary rich guy, but he also had a deep faith in God. Today, I learned about a real life situation happening to a church friend of mine that just seems terrible. Hopefully what happened to Job occurs to them.

The father of my friend has a doctorate in biochemistry, so he's a freakin' boss. He was working in a lab and doing all these things that I probably wouldn't understand. Anyway, the boss of the father decides that there is no need for more researchers and the budget, I guess, was running low so the father, and probably other people, was fired. The next thing you knew, the family had lost their main income. Then, the family learned that their visa to America had expired. I don't really know how those work because I'm made in America, but they have to leave the country in a week. So basically, this is just a really bad situation for them.

Job, who lost his family, wealth, and health, still managed not to disrespect God, though his friends didn't really help with that. This family, on the other hand, was freaking out. Of course, who wouldn't? They had just experienced a giant income loss and were being kicked out of America within a week. I hope, though, that they can persevere and allow God to lead them to whatever path they are meant to go. Hopefully it will lead them back to our church, because I like to keep my friends.

Oh, and I learned this all because I woke up early today to help my mom go and run the cleaners place. That was fun, I got to staple the tags onto the clothes and watch Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King! I was happy. I need to get my mom a phone for her birthday, but I don't know how this will work... Perhaps I'll have to change phone companies with her, because she needs unlimited data for Kakaotalk... I'll figure it out later.

On a final note, I tried out Pokemon White 2 today, the girl's protagonist's hair causes her head to be REALLY wide! Haha. I didn't really get far, but it was fun to guess what they were saying in Japanese!
