One came at the expense of my adviser. I prayed that I could listen to a radio show today and get out of my advising appointment in time to do so. Instead, the appointment was cancelled due to an emergency in her family. So, I'm listening to the show and got back early, but at whose expense? The other prayer was semi answered and has yet to be fully answered.
Meanwhile, I came back to a know-it-all and self-righteous comment on one of my YouTube videos, among other persecutions and tick offs:
"I think to comment on something as personal as a career decision for an individual....you should at the very least..know them...you don't...your point however unmerited, is considered..You should use your vast energy on self improvement...take a speech class...read more books...I Know the Family...Krystal is an amazing young woman, not only talented singer/songwriter...but polished and educated...I am sure she, along with her family will make wise decisions regarding her future!"
I told him straightly, "Good for you, Mr. Self Righteous and Know It All." Nobody else told him that. Nobody stood up for me and told him that I'm a college student who's majoring in Political Science and who's taken a Public Speaking class that I passed; and I know that people stand by and watch or join in as I get persecuted, yet they know enough to stand up for and support me.
People like my persecutors, such as this person who is apparently privileged enough to know Krystal Keith and thinks that he knows everything because he knows a celebrity's family, make me want to jump out of a window when I have to stand up against them alone. I should have told and am going to tell him, "'Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'"
That quote and verses such as Philippians 1:29 are the only quotes and verses to give me hope to stand up for myself and go on instead of jump out of a window, since almost nobody else cares about my life enough to even pray for me-- let alone help and stick up for me.
