Grace  "Continuance"  Part Two

There will be storms, child there will be storms. And with each tempest, you will seem to stand alone against cruel winds; but with time, the rage and fury shall subside. And when the sky clears, you will find yourself clinging to someone, You would have never known, but for storms.

Things only got worse for me. Even walking under guidance, I still made mistakes. I thought that it was all about trust now? I trusted the wrong people, again, but this time from the church. Still naive, new in the faith and what was I thinking?

Later on, after few months almost a year after, having so much difficulty coping with the fact that my baby was so far away from me, unable to talk to him on the phone, it was just a complete nightmare that got even worse when the people I trusted from the church just sold me out. One person had the wrong idea and when I spoke, the person went telling everyone what ever desired was at heart and then I was completely left on the streets. I had just moved to a nice warm cozy Chevy Blazer 1997.

"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5 (NIV)

A few weeks after that, with no job and homeless, a beautiful lady from Honduras took me in her home. She and her husband were the rejoicing that came after the storm, sent angels to care for me as promised in the Word of God. I few weeks after that I found some odd jobs and finally found a more steady job but working the graveyard shift. A few months in that job, I was able to pick up some extra hours and began paying some old bills. Not much but at least was able to pay the child support.

All of a sudden after 6 months in that job and living in a rented room, paying storage for the little I still was able to keep, I got a call for another employment. I just went to the interview just for the experience again and hoping to find something not working from night to morning. Little did I know and as usual, thinking that God was just silent with me again, I get fired from the night job and I was not even in shock. I remember as that day at 7am when told, I just said OK, I will be beck in 10 minutes to bring the uniforms. Did so and got a call from that other job I had interviewed and was offered a job for the evenings and paying $2.00 more. What a Blessing, right?

But wait, there was more. Got called by my veteran social worker and was offered and approved a voucher for my very own apartment. Within 3 weeks I was moved unto my apartment, lots of boxes, and a new job.

"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) (my favorite verse)
