Are You Really Prepared For When Your Storm Comes?

THROW DIRT ON ME: GROW A WILD FLOWER.

God has a funny way of getting your attention when you are fucking up.
He may put someone negative in your life to show you how to fight.
He may take something you loved away to make you see how comfortable you were getting.
Or, he may drain your account for you to see how money is important for survival.

God got my full attention last week…

Sitting in the bank last week made me absolutely depressed.
Instead of being there to deposit a monster check,
I was in there trying to deal with being DEAD broke.
WTF?
How is someone like me, in here, dealing with this situation?
I asked myself that a thousand times sitting there.
Granted, it was a HUGE misunderstanding, it was a wake up call.

I was broke as hell for 3 whole days.
I went back to the past where I was struggling and that made me a mess.
God made me lose everything for me to get my life together.
I was taken out my comfort zone so I can be in the better lane.

I worked out a deal with the IRS to pay what I owe,
and I am grateful for the gentleman who was listening to me on the phone.
The bitch I called the day of, could care less.
At least this man who never saw my face or heard of me a day in my life,
was kind enough to reverse everything and help me out.

I am awake from that bad dream
and I’m not about to sleep again.

    1. Harmless gifs don’t be a bitch.

      Good for you Jamari, for some reason Internal revenue service in the tags made me laugh but I’m weird like that. Situations are placed in your life to make you stronger. You can either tackle them and face up to them or deflate and buckle to them. I’m glad to see that even though your were honestly scared at one point you were ready to tackle the issue and things have turned around worked in your favor. I read your blog alot and it has helped me quite a bit, you are an inspiring well read dude, good luck to you.

    2. The gifs reflect the words in the post, they help the reader visualize how Jamari is feeling. Your a newcomer Davon, you’ll understand it soon .

  1. Yes finally some good news. A friend of mine had a fight with his mother in law in the house in which he and his wife were staying and got put out with no where to go or no money, and I was almost like I show hate it for you, but I remembered your story Jamari and had a change of heart and Im letting him crash at my place for a couple of days until he can figure something out. I realized by your story, you never know where you might end up. This was a wake up call for him because he has made so many bad decisions, but he says its just a relief to be away from the toxic environment from his wife and her meddling mother, of course the wife chose her mother over him, but thats another story. So glad your stuff is working out in your favor man.

    1. ^tajan…
      i hope you know your blessings are coming ten folds for your act of goodness?
      that was very nice of you and i am glad i was able to inspire you to allow him to stay at your house.
      things will work out now that I have figured out the next plan of attack.

      wake up calls all through 2012.

  3. Glad to hear you landed on your feet again, falling on your arse aint easy! Bless!

  4. I’m glad things are getting better for you Jamari. I’m most def. prepared for when the storm comes because I have had so many storms in the past, so I will always be prepared for the worse even though the worse feels the same every time.
