It is a Matter of Faith

Thursday I had an interesting experience. For those that don’t know I am a certified Residential Broadband Premise Specialist (I am the cable guy). Occasionally we run cable under the house to keep a good exterior appearance. The customer didn’t speak English my Spanish really wasn’t that good so I used a friend of mine as a translator. I told I could do the job and it would look very clean and wouldn’t see much of the cable.  From the outside I see I can use the crawl space to minimize the cable on the outside. I drill my holes and start running the cable.  I open the crawl space door, right next to where I was making the wall connection. I peer in there is a concrete wall going back to my left a concrete wall going back to my right waste pipes to my front and the duct work for the AC.  Holes already drilled cable started, I am all in for this project I can’t stop. I am looking forward wondering what have I got myself into. Then the words come “I can do  all things through him who gives me strength” I move forward I maneuver myself around the wall it was a very tight fit (wasn’t thinking how will I get out) I got the cable ran through to the other hole fantastic all I have to do now is to get out.

Uh oh, I spend 15 minutes trying to maneuver myself to get out of this mess.  Finally I have to stop and say “Father I trusted you to get me in to here and I know your word does not come back void; I know you will give me the ability to get out of this…. I decide I have to get out of here; I don’t care about the duct work I want out. I get my two arms around the corner and am working on getting the lower half straightened when all of a sudden I feel a strong tug on my shoulders and I feel myself moving rapidly around this corner and halfway down this tunnel.  No one is around it is just me. I want to think that God told his angels to come and give me a hand. After I finished the job and just praised him for helping set me free and for always being there for me.
