Today I probably faced my biggest challenge yet. I found out that my account was empty and I was being charged a ton of overdraft fees. I was with my girlfriend which made things worse. I was so humiliated to fail in front of someone I care so much for. After I got past the initial panic I hit my knees and prayed. Not long after that I started realizing my options. First I called my father to ask for help (which you can imagine I hated considerably). He agreed to loan me the money to get my account back to zero. Then I realized that I had rolled my 401k into an IRA. I made a few phone calls and will cash that in soon to get me back on track. Also, I am hoping and praying that my Pell grant goes through for school. That will take care of school expenses. Thank God for His provision!
This has been a very humbling experience and it is difficult for me to write about it but I feel compelled to do so in order to admit my failure and ask anybody reading this for prayer. I believe God will get me through this and I have no plans of giving up. As Gideon had to face tests to grow his faith, so will I.
I also want to thank God for an incredible girlfriend who did her very best to build me up and support when I felt at my very lowest. Instead of criticising me, she offered any help she could provide. I'm not a very easy person to deal with during a time of great stress but she stayed with me. She is wonderful woman of faith and she assures me that she is praying for me. I believe she is another of God's great provisions.
Please, if you're reading this, keep me in your prayers and do not hesitate send me a message or comment if you need me to do the same. God Bless.
