How Did I Get Here?

Going back to work has been "fun" in a variety of ways [check out 8-post tirade about why I failed]. I've felt helpless to deal with some of the emotions that dealing with non-Christians has brought to the surface. While I was in my "Jesus bubble" (only socializing with family and people from church) I went on an incredible journey with God. But suddenly I feel I've arrived in a place that doesn't follow the progression of what God has been showing me. It's out of context with what I've been experiencing. Yesterday I was looking over this blog - reading about everything God has taught me - and I felt like I was heading one place but ended up in another. And this place is painful. I don't want to be here. Nothing on the road I've experienced so far seems applicable now, so how did I end up here?
I only get one answer. Everything God has been having me go through has brought me to this point. I don't understand it, but I do know my faith has been strengthened enough that this answer had freeing power for me. I don't understand how the road led me here, but I know God has never failed me, and He never will.
