Earlier in the day a weird thing happened to me. There were a few minutes where I lived with the understanding that God did not exist. For some reason I had a brief moment where I could actually see how so many people have difficulties believing.
​

This bothered me and I have to admit that for some time afterward I was left contemplating the experience that I just had. I had to assure myself that my faith could not be thrown away easily and that I would be able to come to an understanding of why I was feeling the way I was.

It didn’t take long and I started to remind myself of the times that God has shown His work to me and I was back on track. Maybe I just needed to be inspired to write about it.

At work on Friday I had the poops. Not the normal kind either but the bad kind. I had the bubble gut. My work is not set up right for these kinds of moments because there are only two bathrooms in the whole place. One for the men and one for the ladies.

I work in a warehouse that assembles parts for Ford, GM and Chrysler. There are only about ten of us in the place but I happen to work with a young lady who has caught my eye.

Anyway, I have had an upset stomach for a few days but Friday it started right when I woke up. I was so sure that this day was gonna suck but what can I do? I had to work. Before I left I just said a little prayer to God and I said, “God, I won’t possibly be able to make it on my own today but with your help, I will”. I had a calming feeling come over me because I really believed that through Gods help I could make it.

We had just finished a big job the day before and were now about to start a new one. Right when I walked in my boss told me that I would be working with Frank at his desk. Frank works in the back corner and is probably my favorite person there. He’s about 60 years old and his smile reminds me of a frog which makes me laugh.

We all work somewhat close together but my desk is right next to the isle. Any shot to the bathroom can be seen by everyone. This particular day was so perfect for my situation. The whole place was scattered and everyone was so preoccupied with learning the new job that no one was paying attention to anything.

I made a mad dash to the crapper close to ten times throughout my nine hour day and no one knew anything but Frank, who just laughed, which made me laugh, cause he looks like a frog.

This whole day was one big coincidence. I ask God for His help and He hands me this day. Now, someone could say, “Well if God really existed He should have taken your poops away”, but this isn’t how God works.

In the movie Evan Almighty, Morgan Freeman plays God who has a conversation with Evans wife in a bar. Evans wife doesn’t know she’s talking to God but is told that when someone prays for patience God doesn’t just make them more patient, but gives them the opportunity to be patient. When someone prays for a closer family, they don’t just receive a vacation at Disney Land but they get the opportunity to be together and work as a family, which in this case He is referring to Evan and building the ark with him.

When I left Friday morning I knew God wasn’t gonna give me a calm stomach, but I knew He would present me with the opportunity to find my way through the day safely. I think that this is the difference between those that have God in their life and those that don’t believe. Most people would give up on God when He doesn’t take away their crap. And they would never stop to think about other ways to find His help.

If you believe, you can see the way God works.

If for some reason it pops up we will put it in Edification:Testimonies for the public to see.
