Open to Deity Intervention

There is a special kind of searing and debilitating pain that comes from the unexpected roadblock right when one believed a miracle had happened. 

I recently received an out-of-nowhere job offer during a time that I desperately needed money. But the company has a very extensive onboarding process that appears to be AI-driven, with requirements like a criminal check that I've never seen before in the contract and freelance realm.

The flaming karate kick to the balls happened when I had to scan a photo ID that I don't currently have in an unexpired form. I can't currently afford to apply for a new one.

Just like that, the work that offered a very substantial rate and could solve my debt and finance problems within weeks, has become vapor unless a new miracle comes my way immediately.

I'm in a spot where I'm desperate for pay. I can't afford shoes or a phone plan. I can't pay for the process for a photo ID. In a few weeks, I need to find a way to be in Fergus, and being able to afford a hotel would fix most of my problems.

If I ever needed an all-powerful God to show some mercy and exhibit the power of miracles, it would be now.

About fifteen hundred dollars would suddenly erase all stress, and really give me a bit of focus to start creating articles and podcasts for this site, and getting back to a several-month neglected newsletter.

But that is probably wishing for a little too much, but just being able to bring ads back on this site and being able to accept the recent work offer would be, without much hyperbole, a game-changer.

For now, I just need to keep on believing in myself, properly working with my brains, and delivering my best work with hopes it leads to some financially happier days.
