WAIT FOR IT...

Transcript

WAIT FOR IT... Put a finger down if on Thursday and Friday when your schedules overlapped, his aunt was watching your baby, and then she passed away unexpectedly, and so you told your job next week I'm not going to be able to work Thursday and Friday because I have to figure out how to put my son in daycare because he's never been in daycare before, and they say oh that's perfectly fine, take the time, do what you need to do, but then on Saturday and Sunday when you can work, they try to punish you by giving you the bad hours, and you say what's going on, I thought everything was okay and I can get my things in order, and they say well since you're only working two days a week that's just what it has to be, and you're not the type of person to let people play with you, so you tell them that you're no longer going to be working there even though you didn't have a new job lined up and you didn't have a plan. His aunt's funeral was scheduled on Saturday, which is a couple of days after you decided to quit, and so literally Friday, the day before the funeral, you post a video on TikTok, and it gets 14 million views, and you make $30,000 really, really, really, really fast, and you are just so thankful because your God is faithful and a provider. You took that money, you saved a ton of it, and you invested into something you really been wanting to do for a really, really, really long time, and you haven't had to go back to work ever since.
