It is come to my attention that the company one keeps and the surroundings you put yourself in can have a profound influence over a weaker individual.  That happens to be my current situation.  Because I had once previously been in a position of greater strength and respectability, it is difficult for me to grasp the reality that I may no longer be in that position anymore.

TRUE respect is COMMANDED; it cannot be DEMANDED.

“Dear Lord, thank you for this great opportunity with this new job.  I just pray that you put me in the right position that I need to be in in order to flourish and in which to honor You.”
