Ok, I love working with my kids. We adopted one of them even! This is the only job that I have ever had that makes me feel like I am accomplishing something worth while.
But there are times that I am just sick to death of it. It's not times where someone has done something terrible either. I feel that there are just times where I have seen so much disregard of God's word and selfish, blatently disgusting lifestyle choices that I am going to scream (well honestly I just sort of sulk in a dark corner somewhere).
There is no doubt in my mind that I often get the "Elijah complex". If there were a cave I could crawl into I would be there often. I know the word God gave to Elijah, but still, living amongst blatent, PROUD sinners who want nothing to do with the law or word of God is so tough sometimes. Especially when you grow to love many or even most of them.
Maybe this should be in the prayer forum, but I am also wondering if anyone else ever feels this way and how you shake it off?
