Favor

A while ago, the toilet overflowed while we were gone. That spelled bad news for our wood flooring, which got wet underneath and buckled. Then pulled apart. Bad news.

So, we put the house up for sale with the bad floors. No dice. Then my Daddy told me that the insurance would pay for that. For real, yo? By that time, it had been like a year, so I was skeptical. But, after his continued pushing, I called my insurance company. Within 3 days, I had enough to pay for a whole downstairs full of new flooring. Favor.

So, instead of getting new floors throughout, I figured I’d be economical and just get the ones I had replaced. New floors and installation would certainly eat through that whole check. I had no clue who to get to do it, so I happened to mention it to my coworker. He laid my tile, so he said he’d just take a weekend and do the floors for me, even though he really didn’t care to work with wood. Favor.

A week later, all new floors were down and I had enough to spare! I decided I’d replace the carpet upstairs, but the Lowes price was $1000. For one room. Naw. But my coworker knew somebody who could come take a look at my carpet and tell me if he could fix it. Next day, he was there looking at the carpet. He fixed the visible parts for what I was sure would take at least half of the rest of my money. But he did it as favor to my coworker. Favor.

Well, the MOST embarrassing thing happened to me at Walmart when I pulled out my little blue bag to use instead of plastic. Let’s just say it resulted in a shrieking cashier. Right then and there, I decided I definitely needed an exterminator. Pronto. I called Orkin. $250. Sheesh. Inlet my fingers do the walking, and by the next day, my house had been exterminated inside and out for $90. Favor.

The last thing I needed to do was get my creme micro suede couch and chair cleaned. So, I called up the old reliable cleaners and scheduled them to clean the couch, chair, and all the rugs in the house. She told me it would be about $180. Cool. They got there this morning, and i figured I’d save a little by telling him not to worry about one of the rugs. He says that’s cool, it’ll cost you too much for me to take this other one in, so I’ll just clean it outside for you for free. Your bill will be $125. Favor.

My house is ready to go back on the market now, and I still have insurance money left.

I’m getting sworn into the Tennessee Bar Monday. Because my friend has a friend who just happens to work at the youth court (Let that marinate. Dood works at the youth court. Do yall know how much I loved working at youth court??? This guy just happens to work there. Just happens) and who said he would find a judge to swear me in and that he’d find another lawyer to stand up for me. A guy I’ve never seen in my life. Favor.

I’m going to try to make some connections while I’m there, and I would say wish me luck. But I don’t need it. God favors me.

If you need a verse to stand on regarding favor, this is mine: I am growing in the Lord, and I, too, am in favor with the Lord, and with men. 1 Samuel 2:26 (loosely translated by me.)

Have a great weekend. See you guys Tuesday!
