Dictionary.com says that adversity “an unfortunate event or circumstance”. This giant has reared it’s ugly head for me in he last few weeks. Circumstance – ” an incident or occurrence”.
These are a list of incidents/events:
1. Not passing a class required for my major. There are now 2 classes that I have to retake.
2. Jonathan being placed into the custody of Florida’s version of child services. I love that baby, and YHVH now I would raise him as if he were my son, but that would enable my cousin further. It troubles my heart to know that he’s in the care of strangers and he doesn’t have his family to come and take care of him.
3. Doing the work of an underwriter but not getting the promotion because I honor the Sabbath day, and refuse to compromise the word of YHVH.
4. Not being content with my transition. This is the hardest to face, I want to move onto the next phase of my life so badly, but I feel like I’m impeding my own progress.
5. My mom not being allowed to stay with me and my complex requiring her to sign onto a lease when she has no means to pay. I’ve worked in lending for almost 15 years and the only time someone is allowed on a loan is when the person is the spouse of the one who can pay, or the parent of the one who can pay. I understand that the leasing agents position is to ensure that all of the rules and regulations of the lease are adhered to but I recognize that it’s within my power to prevent m mother from being financially obligated to my lease when I know and understand fully that she doesn’t have the means to pay for or be financially obligated or be made responsible for my lease. It troubles me that there is not good reasonable resolution to this situation besides, having my mom live else where or me terminating my lease and moving which I really don’t wish to do.
Dictionary.com states that the antonym of adversity is prosperity. So I know going into this phase of adversity means the end result if I’m patient, stay the course, and not waver is prosperity. The reward will be very great if I allow YHVH to work resolution to all these incidents/events and trust in Him, not leave me, or forsake me.
I asked this morning in prayer for Jonathan to be returned to his family in Colorado, whether paternal or maternal by his 1st birthday. That in 1 month and 1 day. I just recognized that I didn’t ask for resolution to these other incidents/events, delaying the prosperity.

To face this giant, you have to prepare for the prosperity/resolution.
1. Retake the classes and do not give up in frustration.
2. Do not enable my cousin behavior or irresponsibility and pray continually w/o ceasing that Jonathan will. E restored to his family and will raised and cared for as YHVH designed.
3. Do the task that YHVH assigns to me, whether underwriting, processing, or filing and title clerking.
4. Choose to be content in transition……..patience, and believe by faith (of the things not yet seen) that this IS the road to prosperity
5. To ask for judgement between the complex, the increased rent, the termination of the lease and my mom and potentially Jonathan staying with me.
