Aftermath of Unveiling Book to Crew

Well interestingly enough, I’ve had a few judgemental comments from some of my “friends” regarding my book coming out.  Some folks feel a little guilty about not being there for me during that time, I’ve had a few folks send me some not so nice comments and I even have one person showing signs of jealousy.  That one is the most shocking of all.  Who is jealous of someone having to file bankruptcy?  I know I wouldn’t be jealous.  I really don’t understand people and mainly females.  We get jealous over the craziest things.  I think what people don’t realize is that telling your story and being transparent is hard.  It’s not easy and not for the faint at heart.  I’m not exactly thrilled to be letting the whole world know that I had to file bankruptcy.  There’s no prize or crown of glory for having gone through difficult financial struggles.  I just don’t understand the negativity and jealousy.   If you don’t have thick skin, don’t do it.  People judge you and aren’t always nice to you even when you go through a difficult situation.  I don’t really want to tell my story but it’s not about what I want, it’s about what God is leading me to do.  I always say, you know its from God when it is something you don’t really want to do but he keeps telling you to do it.  Can I get an Amen?

Overall, the support has been overwhelming from my Thought For The Day Crew.  I didn’t send the notification out to everyone, just a few select individuals.   The global push and getting it out to the masses will be done in the next two weeks.  I’m slowly getting my book out there.  I hope everyone who understands that this book is about helping someone else during this crazy economic time will send up extra prayers for me.  I was able to hold on and hold out and not get too caught up in the sadness of my having to file.  It is my hope that I can help someone else snap out of the sadness and negativity as well.
