On Hold, then dropped

Google > Search >Find Number > Dial > Ring .. ring
After about 2 rings a courteous, robotic female thanks me for calling and goes through a series of menus and responses to gather the reason for my call. 4 minutes later and after many unsuccessful attempts at being understood and being asked "are you still there?" I finally was able to get an option for a representative. Upon confirming my selection I hear these dreadful yet so familiar words. "Thank you for calling, your call is important to us, a representative will be with you shortly" Apparently this morning "shortly" is equal to 10 minutes, as that was the time a representatives comes on the line. After explaining why I called she then replies and say's "hold-on, I'll be right back"

while bopping to the "hold" music for about 14.5 minutes I suddenly hear a click as I apparently get disconnected (on their end). I say in my head (using my SheNayNay voice of course) "No she didn't..... , they better call me back..." 

...... 30 minutes later still no call back, "sigh, I guess I need to dial them again but before that I need to share a post, so here goes"

There are so many things wrong with this experience especially because it was the phone company that I called

Let's amplify the frustration of wasting time on a phone call and think on this. Have you ever felt like you wasted your time being ON HOLD IN LIFE and then all of a sudden you got dropped?
Years of waiting, giving and loving but you end up with simple dial-tone. Perhaps you are like me with Verizon and sit around waiting for the call back, that never comes.

HERE IS SOME TRUTHs that you can glean
➤There are Some things and some people who are simply NOT worth going through all the buttons, waiting and holding for. Be wise before making that expensive call.
➤A relationship with God is the only guaranteed relationship where He Never places us on HOLD.  The concept of being disconnected has nothing to do with Heavens side, only ours
➤Just because they are the phone company, doesn't mean they are going to call you back
➤Just as my response to a frustrating and a wasteful call was to share a post to inspire, your response to frustrating and wasteful chunks of your time, heart and patience should mooooove you to turn rocks into gold
