Absolutely, Dave. We all need each other to jointly fit together.
Even the part of me that annoys her, which is the persistent, won't let it go side of me, is something I know God can use as a strength. Sometimes I don't know when to let something go. And dealing with people who are given simple instructions but can't follow them (not her) really do annoy me. I guess God is teaching me even in this that sometimes you just have to stop fussing and let it go.
Isn't it amazing that the parts of ourselves that are broken, God can even use that? I have decided I am going to use this as a learning/growth experience if I can get out of my own way.

As my situation went on (it went on for a year and a half before he left the job) this became my prayer. At first I sought God about his heart changing, looking perhaps for some glorious moment where God would deliver me from the situation that was making me so uncomfortable. Of course, I continued to pray for him and his good, which became more and more difficult for me as the situation dragged on.
But over time I came to focus on the situation itself as a grace from God, and a means through which He was working in my life for my good. I honestly don't think I learned all the lessons I could have learned, or grew as much as I had the opportunity to. Not even close. But I did learn some. I wish I had viewed the situation that way much sooner than I did.
It seems you are much smarter than me and looking at the situation from this posture much earlier on.  I wish you God's very best as He cares for you and guides you through this. |

This sounds like what I went through with my lunatic sister. She justified trying to get me disinherited by using normal conflicts and personality clashes people have that should we worked through maturely. She painted these minor conflicts as major things that warranted her getting everything, and my dad fell for it. Sadly, God had to take him before he could carry out her evil plan. But it's all a game. My sister is a narcisist who is full of waste material, just like the woman you work with. May they be caught in the snare they have laid for others.
Thankfully, my sister and I appear to be on track to split my dad's property rather than me having to buy her out. I will be keeping the house so at least my family won't be in the street. I truly look forward to this divorce from my sister being final. Until then I will remain cordial, but afterward I will break all contact. I'm open to reconciliation if God makes a way. Until then, I will not let this demonic influence be anywhere near my wife and kids.
