On my Journey to Debt Freedom, I’ve experienced several Ah Man! moments and today I want to encourage you on your journey- whatever that may be, for when you experience your Ah Man! moment(s). In case you’re wondering, an Ah Man! moment is every time something comes against you reaching the goal you’re trying to achieve. Ah Man! is not your first choice of words you’d like to utter when these situations arise. However, by the time you get to the point of declaring Ah Man! you know it’s in your best interest to keep your words pure, your heart clean and your mind stayed on the outcome you desire.
Let’s look at my most recent experience with Ah Man! Here I am excited about becoming debt free so that I can experience a lifestyle beyond my wildest dreams. I’m budgeting, paying off debt and telling everyone I know about the benefits of truly being debt free. So when the toilet breaks, the kitchen sink leaks and my money won’t add up, I go to God and ask Him to show me why I shouldn’t give up. Now that I’ve got Gods wisdom, I dealt with the irritability, handled those situations and got my budget back on track ready to take down debt once and for all. I started working overtime only to not be paid for all the overtime I worked. Being informed that the difference would be on my next paycheck, I waited two more weeks only to be paid at straight time. The only thing I could say was Ah Man!
So here I am encouraging you on your journey and the moment(s) you meet Ah Man! If you’ve gone to God and you know He’s got your back no matter what, these moments are just a test of your faith and belief in what God said to you. I’ve learned that I have to trust God no matter what the situation looks like. In every case, when it looked like I would fail or some need would go unmet, God always had enough provision available for me to cover every need. Sure, my Journey to Debt Freedom is slower than I would have liked for it to be but then this Ah Man! moment of pause has afforded me the opportunity to encourage you.
Because I know that I’m not the only one experiencing Ah Man! moments, I wrote this just for you:
While you’re on your Journey
Here’s one thing I can say
Keep your eyes on God at every step
He’ll help you find your way
While you’re on your Journey
Here’s one thing you should know
It’s gonna start small but in God’s hands
Watch it grow and grow and grow!
If you never start at the beginning, you’ll never get to The End!
Enjoy the Journey!
