I remember back when I first came to Nashville. I’d been driving tractor trailers for 15 to 18 years. I wanted to search for something new. I knew my time was running out and I had to start being the real me. I was raised in the church and most of my family share God’s word in the streets. Jehovah’s Witness.
I worked temp jobs for Labor Source until I was introduced to The Contributor. I started selling the paper around 2010 and the first month after starting I started to write articles, sharing God’s word with customers. To be honest it was a good life. I attended Covenant Church. I pretty much like what I’m doing now more than driving trucks. I still sell The Contributor and to tell you the truth I’ll probably be doing this til God says it’s over.
I wanna tell you about my experience in what I do, how God has changed my life. I get up, get ready and leave going to my corner and it’s like there’s no other place I’d rather be. It’s special to me because the whole time I’m there it’s like taking a walk with God. As soon as I get off the MTA Bus I draw close. God speaks to my heart from the time I get there til I leave. Never held a job 14 years and love what I do. I learned to depend on God. All days aren’t good. I’ve had good days and bad. Yet I’m at peace however the day goes.
Trials and problems will come, but I think about this scripture (Romans 8:28), “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God.” I find myself weak at times because of attitudes, but according to God’s word, “When I’m weak, I’m strong.” Because he right there with me.
