I remember during a particularly season of life where we were out of a car, so I had to walk a little over an hour back and forth to work for about 2-3 months.
Let me tell you something, these type season has been some of the best ones yet. This season was so special for me bc I was so excited to get up and walk to and from work everyday. Why? Because the time I spent communing with God on these walks were unmatched. It had gotten so serious that people would often stop to ask me if I needed a ride, and I hated that lol..I would plead in this mind for no one to stop bc I didn’t want to be rude and tell them no, but most importantly I didn’t want to miss out on my intimate time talking to God. I remember one time this white man stopped me on a motorcycle and offered to take me to work, and I took the ride bc I was so confident that God had me covered lol..crazy right!lol..But nope not crazy at all. When God gives you a confidence in him, you will try to walk on water, in confidence that He has your back. And surprisingly he was so kind and caring and had no ill intent at all(at least no to my knowledge lol). He was riding kinda fast tho😂
Anywho, my point is this:
It is in what looks like the “hardest” seasons could be that God wants to promote you, bless you & commune with you, bc in these seasons you will be forced to either humble yourself and trust God, or doubt him and to draw nigh to Him, to prove that no matter what it looks like, you will still thank him, you will still be grateful, you will still be faithful, and you will still trust him etc.
During this time, a close female homie of mine begin to allow me to drive her car to and from work some days or she would pick me up from work some days if I had walked to work that day. I would get up early and wait at the park for her to pick me up before she went to work and I would sit at the park and read the Bible. Such a fulfilling time😇Shortly after this, the company that I worked for had allowed me to use one of our work vans that we used on the clock for my transportation. They had no idea I was walking to and from work everyday for the past 2-3 months. They allowed me to keep the van for the next 2 months to get to and from work everyday(I didn’t have to put gas in this van🙌🏽, they did!)
After those 2 months I went to the Kia dealership and financed a brand new 2020 Kia Forte(it was in the year 2020). Nobody but God!I had a low credit score and no down payment, but somehow I drove off that lot with a brand new car and NO money down.
So, I just want to remind myself and someone else to never despise the “hard” seasons bc God may be trying to draw you nigh to him, grow you, and test you. Rejoice in your sufferings and and when you are given lemons, make lemonade, so that soon you may be the CEO of your very own “lemonade” factory😏😇.
Endure to the end of all of your hard seasons with gladness, and see what God allows😉
