I exercised and I went to work. I was in pain, but I managed to perform a lot better than I expected. My boss was experiencing extereme difficulty in reaching a deadline, but she made it. She confided that when she started the day, she was happy and glad about it. When she shared it with her boss, her boss replied" We'll fix that." You know what happened? She did just that. I reminded my boss that almost a year ago, I had lost almost all my material possessions, my lover, my two brothers, and I thought my world had ended. What had changed in that year for me? I learned that my lover could be my friend and our relationship wasn't the way I wanted it, but the way it was supposed to be. The posessions that I lost, for the most part, have been replaced by better models. I reminded her of something my father always told me - "God may not come when you want him, but He's always on time." So often, we get caught up in the day-to-day struggles for survival that we forget to live. That's the lesson I learned a year ago and being a memeber of this challenge helps remind me of that. I know I'm great. That is not a boast, but a fact. I am a child of God and God created no kind of junk. In order for me to obtain the material and physical goals I have set for myself, I have to remember that all things occur in God's time - not mine.
