Friday morning

 I'm not typical and I'm OK with that. People I loved used to hold me up to what I call "The normal stick" and I didn't measure up, they would get upset.  

I have neurological differences and I am OK with that.  My boss values me, my coworkers love to hear I'm working, I like going to work, I have a ministry that is job #1 in my life.  I am loved.  

The last couple years ministry has come with accidents that have caused me some damage.  I think a man who loved me would have problems with that but I'm doing whatever it takes to share Jesus.  

And if this 

Means a door opened and someone got the Gospel I can accept that.  It has been awful, the last week and a half, but I look at the big picture.  

I have been doing insane distribution lately which is wonderful.  For instance, yesterday on the bus.  I had one of those cheap reusable tote bags full of yarn for my projects.  It fell over and a ball of yarn rolled out toward the back of the bus, behind me.  I was sitting in a forward facing seat and didn't see it.  

A young woman wearing a work uniform and some facial piercings got up and gave it to me.  I smiled, thanked her, and gave her a bag of candy.  She said thank you and put it in her bag.  

I printed up some photos of the accident.  

These are going to Metro because they need to see what they did to me.  I made a couple copies of each photo.  

God laid it on me I needed to make a bag for the driver who hurt me.  So I included one each of the photos, a New Testament with a  tract, a couple handfuls of candy, a Bible study/Scripture booklet, and a personal handwritten note.  

Side note I always try to put a handwritten note in the bags, letting the recipient know I am praying for them.  I sign it.  

I did something a little different.  I wrote "I forgive you and I am praying for you daily!" and signed it, wrote a couple of Bible verses on forgiveness on it as well, put it in the baggie along with a couple handfuls of "good" candy.   

So, yesterday, going to work I "happened" (Metro knows my routine as my bus card has RFID and is "registered" in my name) to encounter a supervisor.  There is no hiding this arm unless I wear long sleeves and it has been almost 90 degrees every day, I'm not doing that.  

I also feel like I don't need to hide it as I did nothing wrong!  

So he saw the arm and asked about it.  I said "You know what happened".  He said yes he did.  I asked him if he could get the package to the driver.  He wasn't sure until I explained the contents.  

He said he could do that.  I gave the supervisor his own bag as well and went off to catch my bus.  I am sure it is going to be examined by management but that is OK.  

I don't exactly hide my faith, and if I can't forgive people who hurt me I don't deserve to say I follow Jesus.  And, at the end of it, Doc says no permanent damage.  

Since the accident I am averaging over 10 bags a day, that's significant.  And, like I've said, I am 100% down with sharing the Gospel.  If it means this is my gate fee I'll pay it.  I won't like it but I'll pay it.  

The naproxyn and the pain cream have done a decent job.  The best $4 you will ever spend!

That's it for now!
