Walking out in Faith and Obedience: My Response.

Earlier today I responded to a post* from an online support community I am in.  To see the post (aka the impetus for this post), go to the footnotes. 

Why am I posting my response on my own blog?
It's my very humble story of how and why I quit my job.

My response to the post*:
"...When I read the subject "Walking out in faith and obedience" it caught my attention and made my heart race. Why? I mean, I took my beta blocker today! #IST&POTS<3 ;) It's because earlier this afternoon, I felt sick. I felt stifled. I felt heavy. I felt dread. I was at my new job (big surprise). **More heart attacks occur on Monday etc...well Saturday is my Monday because I sold cars.** Anyway, I'll save you the gut wrenching details of the inner moral dilemma I was struggling with. I'll just say this. It was UGLY. I was scared to death. Of so many things. Feeling down on myself for not being able to hold down a 40 hour a week job even though I'm 26 years old. I can't sleep. I can't get to work on time. I can't sit still. I can't remember things they've told me over and over. I'm anxious. I can't keep my blood pressure up when it's 67 degrees outside. I can't wear hats to shield the sun (like the men do) because it doesn't look "feminine enough". It's hard going to work every day when you -know you're going to get in trouble for something, like you're always failing. I started to feel depressed, forgetting there WERE things that I was good at!

Long story semi-short, I looked at my phone and got a sign. It was 11:14. 1114 is an Angel number I'm familiar with. I looked it up (my usual reference is sacredscribesangelnumbers.blogspot.com and it said, "Angel Number 1114 (or 114) asks you to keep your focus, intentions, actions and positive affirmations on manifesting your true goals and aspirations. If you act with caution and wisdom you will be successful in business, money matters and life in general. Now is a perfect time to begin worthwhile projects that will bring you long-term benefits and future success. Repeating Angel Number 1114 is a sign from your angels that they are there to assist you with manifesting your true desires."

Some people may be thrown off my someone quitting their job because it was a certain time of day. This is my spirituality. I believe that angels are working for the soul of the world, ready to guide us with love, if we'd take time to listen. It similar to someone seeing 3:16 on a license plate and looking up the verse in the bible. As my boyfriend describes it, it's their way of tapping us on the shoulder, giving us a heads up to opportunity (paraphrased).
So in the spirit of faith and obedience, I walked out of the dealership. I'm being led to a wonderful career of helping others and strengthening my connection to myself and Universal Love."
And Just so You Know, below I have posted a screenshot of my response, because I want to you all to look at the top left corner, to the reply number: 1148080.  Coincidence?

*"My dear sisters out there. I know it is a,reality that we live daily with ain and uncertainties of what the future will hold for us but please do not let this crazy EDS get the best of you, especially in your mind and soul. We are still here for a,reason and purpose. Live each day to the fullest knowing that we are not on this journey alone but that God is with us in every season of life, guiding and teaching us lessons we learn even in those pain days. My prayer for myself is that I continue to grow in God's word and become the women he intended me to be. Praying he will allow my feet to walk out in faith and in obedience to his,will for me. Eds will not define me as God's child. I believe deep inside me what he started in my life he will bring to completion because I belong to him, he loves me and he is strong in me when I am weak. Hang on to the vine for you will always be victorious. Blessings and peace to you all." - The author will remain anonymous for purposes of respect.
