Where Are You Now?

I really want my post to be this “dfajkdfhkdljfhkldhfdjkhfadlskhjfadlsf” – straight:

Gibberish

Idk how this current chapter I’m in is going to shake out.

It’s effed on so many levels that I have to laugh. I shall do my part – but let me be clear:

God has to do what only he can do!

During my 10k step walk, I found myself thanking God for what remains in tact.

Praise Report of the Day: I found my night mouth guard that had been missing for 1.5 months. It costs about $700 and I had been praying for it to come back to me. So AYE! Thankful!

Moving on – now that the mandatory gratitude is out the way.

I’m not about to quit like a:

Suckaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I know this feeling is fleeting. But still this ain’t it! I want my:

Kingdom Inheritance

This is what the hook go be. Imma keep working with what is left and do what I gotta do – even if it ain’t what I want to do. I’m gonna keep flowing.

I’m reminded of how a couple years ago – I flew out of state to visit family.

This mural had a giant smiley face that matched my fit – so I hopped out the whip to take a photo with my high yellow friend. 🙂

I tossed my fanny pack on the platform (behind me) and gave a big grin.

I then walked away with a sing-a-long bounce and we drove off.

1 minute later I remembered I left my fanny pack on the platform.

I started to pray as we rushed back to the mural. My ish was:

GONE!

It was taken in under 3 mins.

Surprisingly, I felt at peace. Plus, how am I gonna smile with a smiley picture that says ” Where are you now?” and then when I return after my ish is gone – I’m distraught over a material loss.

It felt like a test of my inner wellness. Could I count it all joy?

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1 :2-4 (ESV)

I hoped whomever had my cash, cards, and other replaceable ish – put it to very good …non-identity stealing use. Who knows?!? Either way:

Deedle Doddle,

Gotta Keep Going Full Throttle!

I canceled my cards & let it go.

There was no point in having a fit and ruining what was left of my trip. Plus, I was with a loved one who covered me. I felt free – having no docs…no cash…no plastic of my own. Just out there existing.

The next day, I was at the airport with my family.

Nothing on me – but God’s presence and me!

I had everything I truly needed.

The TSA peeps had to call Homeland Security to let me fly. I stood there calmly and waited. My family had already gone through security.

Panicking was pointless.

After questioning, I was escorted through security and caught my flight – despite what had been taken. Everything I lost in that fanny pack was replaceable.

No matter where you are (with little, a lot, or nada) determine to go the extra smile & stand in strength!
