I lost my cable in my house. Internet was gone. I went to McDonald's for a month and sat there all day using theirs.
After 4 weeks of piecemeal work, enough to eat everyday but not enough to pay the bills, they shut off my water. I went to McDonald's in the morning and to another place that had a swimming pool, which I used as a bath, in the afternoon.
After 6 weeks of no internet and 2 weeks of no water they turned the electric off in the home.
No cable, no water, no electric. A dark empty house is what I came home to every night.
There was no hope but I kept hoping anyhow. Maybe I'll get a good side job. Maybe I'll get a call from a friend who will send me money. Maybe I'll get a lottery ticket that wins. Maybe my friends will offer me a job.
I stayed calm through it all - like a duck on the water. My friends didn't know the extent of how bad my life was. I wasn't crying, whining, saying woe is me. There were some private moments of panic. Sleepless nights.
Seven days later I caved in. Called a friend, "hey, you don't know what's happening, but I need a couch to stay on" ... two weeks passed and I lost the house altogether.
Then things started to get better. I started getting more work. And then more work. I was asked to come on board a business full time. They paid well. I found a room to rent from someone so I didn't have to sleep on the couch in the middle of the living room of a one bedroom apartment. Things were going really good. Stabilizing.
Then after only 6 months had passed I was told by the owners of that business that they weren't going to use me anymore. They couldn't get along. Didn't have a vision. Didn't know what to do. Didn't know what they wanted to do. The vision I sold them, the one where they take over the world, and all agree to work together for the common good of doing just that, fell apart. This owner wanted this, the other that. The dream was over. I was right back where I started the year before - only I owed a lot more in taxes and still had past debts to take care of.
I was at a dead end. I needed a plan.
Turn around. Go back to McDonald's. Start looking for something again. Sending resume's. Spend all day on the internet searching for opportunity. Reaching out to people. Stick to a routine. Wake at the same time. Do the same things I did the last time I was in this shape.
Pray.
