Well I am in Bmore, waiting on my flight back south-- got a really good deal thank God!!
But the last two weeks have been very trying.
My car was repossessed about 2 weeks ago on a Thursday night. So I had to ride my bike:
7.63 miles home to work;
9 miles from work to east college campus;
6.7 miles from work to the west college campus;
7 miles from home to the valencia east campus;
12.8 miles from home to the valencia west campus;
not mentioning the trips to other places I've attempted to make with my bike as my sole source of transportation.
My buttocks are sore!
I work the overnight shift, so I've had to ride my bike on the streets and roads of Orlando at night.
But God's goodness is displayed in that I am alive to type about His divine protection in my time of trial!
Furthermore, I was terminated from my job last Friday.
It was for an incident that happened three weeks ago. I apologized for it, they told me it would be documented and that I should make sure it never happened again. When I was let go, it was over the phone and I was told that the reason I wasn't let go right away was so that they could find someone to replace me.
Even in this, I thank God.
At first, I was really hurt because it was dawning on me that I was becomming that guy that everyone has in their family that just seems to never be able to get it together, always has drama and can't seem to keep a job, pay his bills or show any sign of adult responsiibility.
But I know I am not that guy-- no matter what it looks like.
The temptation was there, however, to really come down hard on myself-- I did for a little while.
God knows too-- that I am not that guy that just seems to never be able to get it together, always has drama and can't seem to keep a job, pay his bills or show any sign of adult responsiibility.
He allowed me to get my car back two days ago and I am grateful for His provisions and kindness to me!
I may just keep riding my bike place anyway-- ofr the health benefits!!!
So I am comforted in God's love and faithfulness to me. Even when I feel like I am the world's biggest and most irresponsible loser, with Jesus I am more than a conqueror!
I will never quit.
"I shall not die, but live...!"
