So, as I was having my pity party over the letter I received in my thread "Gut Kick", sitting in my office at Church, I got a call from the guy I was helping get "redocumented".
He asked if I could come outside, cause he wanted to show me something. He was sitting in a 1999 Chevy Impala with 139,000 on it, in good running condition, and said it was a GIFT! He said he had been doing some handyman work on a house owned by a couple I know, and when he told them I helped him get a driver's license, birth certificate and social security card (the latter came in the mail today!) they said, "well, you're going to need a car, too, yes?" And they said they had a car they were going to donate to "Kars for Kids" or something, but felt he could use it even more.
On Thursday, I had taken him to two job possibilities, both of which said they would hire him now that he's "documented", but he needed "reliable transportation".
Now he can call them back and say "guess what!"
The best thing of all, my new friend told me "God is really being good to me and things are finally working out".
Praise God!!!
(and, yeah, this kinda offsets some of the gloom of the gut kick)
