I’ve been through a tremendous amount of adversity. It’s been the type of ride that I would never pay for at an amusement park, and the ride continues.
I have a saying, “No matter what, I’m going to go through it, so I might as well have a positive attitude.” When things got so extreme, the only thing I could focus on was God and the one second that I could control at the moment. I had to make decisions in a minute that would take others months to process. I did that over and over again. I would tell people that I was hiding in the bushes because my finances were so busted.
I didn’t feel sorry for myself, nor did I think God had left me. I stood on faith, knowing that I was right where he wanted me to be and that my understanding had little to do with what he wanted to do for me.
I had to trade my understanding for gratitude. When you become grateful, you leave control and understanding behind. I admired the little things and realized that the control I thought I had was fake news. Things began to change when I got on my knees and turned it all over to him. His ways became my ways. His covering became my covering. I am so outside of my experience. Every day I go to work, I have very little experience operating in the position I hold. Every day, I have to lean on him and not on my own understanding. I’m excited to see what he has for me next.
