Ali, let me first say that I am quite jealous of you. You getting to play with legos with little children is far more exciting and interesting than any job in the world. I wish that the older folk that I came in conact with had those qualities. I do believe that sometimes we all just need to sit down and build something together with legos. Maybe it is a new philosophical thought.

The other thing is this. I can fully understand you frustration with the situation you have described. So many times we go out desiring to do God's work and we think we know how everything is supposed go and how we are to get involved. But then God says,"Wait a second, that is not what I had in mind. Here is what I had in mind...., and if you stick to it, you will experience something far greater than if you go with yours." Usually our response is something along what you had, and many times we have the response that I have had many times. "Is this what I really signed up for, somebody must have handed me the wrong brochure or information." In times like these the verses in Isaiah 55 come into mind about His thoughts and ways being far greater, better, and higher than ours, and that He has a purpose that will be completed and prosper(Is. 55:8-11). Another passage that comes to mind, and this I will let you read on your own is Proverbs 2:1-10. I am sorry that I wrote so long in this reply, but after reading, I was just led to such a thing. In closing I will leave you with this, "Blessed be the GOd and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in affliction, with the comfort with which we are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's' sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too."(2 Cor. 1:3-5)
