I really never thought of being an Author, but God had other plans for me. In 2019 I was an over-the-road truck driver. I was promised a job closer to home where I would be home every day. When I quit the job, I went to the company where I thought I would be working only to find out the guy who promised me the job quit and the safety manager said he wouldn’t hire me. My wife and I have been foster parents since 1994, and in August 2019 we again took on a newborn baby. Still out of work and praying hard, I asked God what was going on. In January of 2020, we found out our 23-year-old daughter who was 8 months pregnant learned she had cancer. The baby was delivered via c-section so they could start treatments on our daughter. 2 weeks later we had more bad news, my wife had a tumor in her brain the size of a golf ball and needed emergency brain surgery. Yes, it was cancerous and now she needed treatment. Before she was really well enough to go home covid started shutting everything down. They released my wife into my care and said she would be better off at home and had less chance of getting sick with covid. I was doing the devotions on Wednesday night with the team of gatekeepers I served with before service. When the church had to shut down from covid, I told the men I served with that I would send a devotion every Wednesday night until we could meet again. So now I am taking care of a little 6-month-old, my wife, looking for a job, and writing a weekly devotion. I don’t know how, but 2 books of devotions grew out of these Wednesday devotions being sent and the list grew from 6 to now 53 people who now get the weekly email. Our daughter and granddaughter are doing well, my wife had another brain surgery a year later and after some more chemo treatments, she is doing very well. As for the little girl we were fostering we adopted her and she is now our little princess. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). So, when you think things are really bad, remember God may be doing something good.
