So I was paying off my tuition with ease, and outside of that I didn't go out much because I worked 3rd shift. So when I actually did go out drinks and everything were on me because I had so much money to spend. School became more uninteresting to me as the weeks came on. Everything outside of work was ok and for me no drama is the best way it could be. My new business was taking off and it had a couple stumbles but still was producing, so that was good as well. Everything was looking to make for a great spring and an even better summer.
Eventually this job got the best of me. Every day at work was the same thing; people complaining about how horrible the job was, but because the money was so great they just had to deal with it. Meanwhile, I'm doing my own home-based business trying to help them understand that their are other alternatives that anyone can take advantage of. I eventually developed a bad back to the point where I really couldn't get out of bed one night to even go to work. So from there my mind was set that I have to make this business work because I was done with literally breaking my back to make money.
My schoolwork suffered due to my work and my disinterest combined, so all the money I paid for classes didn't fully go to waste, but wasn't fully appreciated. My social life was still ok. I had bumps along the way, but with this ability to make people see things from my point of view and getting them to go along with my philosophy, I eased through moments of potential drama. At the end of the day, I was still a fun loving, caring person, who literally was breaking his back to stay in school. The problem was, I had a serious dilemma. If I was becoming more and more disinterested in school, what's going to be my primary focus.
Didn't take long to see that it was going to be my business. By this time, it was coasting and steadily producing. So I worked at my job as long as I could and eventually was let go being not able to perform with my injuries. Didn't matter to me because that wasn't my concern, I knew I had a backup plan. So with my new found free time, I gained my social life back which is exactly what I needed for business anyway. Now here's what I left out for most of this part of the story, this is when I actually started to pray.
Like I said, worked sucked, I was lost at what I was going to do with my feelings about school, and at the end of the day, I never wanted to be considered a player; if you've been following this blog, you would know that I really rather be in a relationship than date multiple women. So I simply asked God for some help with directing me or giving me a solution to my problems. Eventually some things came about but at the time I didn't fully give him credit, which was obviously my first of many mistakes during this time period. Eventually one thing lead to another and things started coming to the light. Business was moving, school although wasn't interesting was still something I paid for so I still got somewhat of my money's worth. The females I were talking to went in their directions in which, I figured I knew which one I would want to settle down with when the time came. Life at this point really got better. However, there was this huge problem that I had that I didn't realize at the time, I wasn't living in His eyes and by His will and I wasn't fully giving Him His due praises. But hey, I thought me starting to believe and reading my Bible was enough, such ignorance...
