a week ago, my mom called me in the morning and said she wanted to help me get a couch or a platform for my mattress (cuz my mattress was on the floor) this took me by complete surprise.. so i drove out and we went to rooms to go and literally in like 5 minutes i found the couch i wanted and i was happy but i guess my parents were feeling extra generous because they basically forced me to pick a platform for my bed too.. i thought we were going to get one or the other but they legit made me get both.. so i got a nice black low profile platform set then my mom was trying to make me get more stuff but it was becoming overwhelming that they were doing so much for me out of nowhere so i was like PLEASE, no more.. please stop.. thank you for these things but let's just stop here lol so below you see the couch and the bed the deliveries for these came yesterday on october 9th
so i was like wow this is great! everything came and they set up the bed and there were no problems at all.. i'd legit recommend rooms to go lol i also got paid yesterday which is always nice.. so you'd think.. wow james that's a great friday, you got a proper bed, you got a couch, and you got paid... but that wasn't all... in the afternoon i received a call at work.. i answered it and it was the lady i interviewed with on wednesday she said "we'd like to have you on board" now the pay is nearly the same as what i make now- however i will say i have been trying to get out of the contact center for months.. i mean it has been rejection after rejection after rejection and finally someone gave me an opportunity to get out of there.. i mean i even had 3 or 4 rejection emails from jobs yesterday but anyway.. this job came at the perfect time too smh.. WOW so here's the deal- i work at the same company.. but now in a diff department.. meaning no more having to talk to people about their grandmother's incontinence (start the slow clap brah) now let me give some background.. about 2 weeks ago, a guy at church gave me $20.. i was like what is this about? he said "the Lord told me to give it to you, so i'm just obeying orders, man" i was like wow thanks so then i ended up telling my sister about it and she ended up telling me "the Lord wants me to tell you that's not all" so fast forward to today october 9th as if getting paid on a friday isn't good enough, i also got two really nice pieces of furniture given to me for free, and i got a new job (at the same company so i get to keep my benefits, tenure, tuition reimbursement eligibility etc) so now i see God really cares about me and looks out for me and He knows what i want and need and cares about my well-being.. and i knew these things before.. but after seeing Him work like this- i REALLY know how good He is on a more personal level and i thought a little about things i've done recently and looking back (i'm not saying i caused these things to happen or that i'm so righteous or anything like that, however) i can see how my obedience may have played a role in this because if you peeps follow my site you remember i felt that deleting my imac was possibly an act of obedience to the Lord, and you remember i did that and carried it out because it just seemed like it was something the Lord wanted me to do and if you remember not long after that, i threw my osiris shoes away because that was another thing i felt like the Lord was leading me to do because He probably views it as offensive so again, i'm not saying i caused these good things to happen, but God wants us all to be obedient and if we are then He can do more for us or through us so hopefully my little story here will inspire u peeps to also try and do what you think the Lord has put in your heart so that you can get obstacles out of your way or so that perhaps you can find favor with the Lord.. and if you do this- remember, even if it seems like nothing happens immediately- God is watching
