When You HURT, You WRITE.

After God told me to leave my job, I put my notice in. People kept asking, “What are you going to do?” Some people even said, “You’re crazy!” My response was, “God is my source. The job was just a resource. I’ll find another job. I was looking for a job when I found this one.” One of the executives called me into his office. He said,

“You keep talking all of this God stuff. You have a little girl to look after. I know you have some money saved up, but what are you going to do if something drastic happens that will soak that money up? You will not have medical insurance once you quit, so what are you going to do if your daughter gets sick? What are you going to do if your car breaks down...”

I sat there and listened to him. I heard him out. But my mind was made up. He was not a man of God, so I didn’t expect him to understand. And because he kept belittling my faith in God, it was almost confirmation that I was doing the right thing.

Now here’s the interesting thing. A few days after my last day on the job, guess what happened? My car broke down. I could have gotten upset. I could have said, “Man, that executive was right…” I could have started to panic. But I chose rather to trust God. So I decided to go back in the house, I turned on the computer, and I started writing. Since I couldn’t go anywhere, it didn’t make any sense to just sit around moping. That just got me amped up to go after my vision even more. When I started writing, it took me into another world. I wasn’t worried. I wasn’t scared. And because of my trust in God, He came through.

“Anyone who does what is right may have many troubles. But the Lord saves him from all of them.”
Psalm 34:19 NIRV

Going after your vision enhances your trust in God. Chasing your dream builds up your faith in Him. Problems are going to come. Trouble will always be there. But God made you an overcomer, so you have plenty to write about.
