“You Learn To Accept Things” Damon Wayans

I’m ignoring the elephant in the room for now . . .

Damon K. Wayans, Sr., speaks briefly about accepting things and expecting nothing in a recent interview.

What Damon has shared in this YouTube short from a recent interview will remain with me for years to come.

How apropos is this right now at this very moment?!

Millions of people will have to accept what has occurred, endure it as best as we can, and eventually come out on top.

Hold on. Be strong. Don’t ever let go.

Peace and blessings.

But . . .

The accuracy of this, though? We want everything in a person; all the credentials, the pristine resume, the umpteen years of experience, and the close-to-if-not-perfect interview (s) before someone’s hired.

Why would it be different for churches? Most of them are doing exactly what secular society is doing.

Thank God, my peace and strength do NOT lie in man.

I can’t dote on the team
I get to share frustrations,
stressors, and accomplishments
with on a daily basis enough.
we may split at the edges
sometimes, but we will
never crack.

we have endured system issues,
glitches, irate patients, and an
overall pressure that packed
itself heavy into our bones,
yet we stayed above water–
humorous in our near-defeat.

if I were a betting woman,
my cash would be on them.
my trust is in them.
I wouldn’t want to do
the days I spend spiraling
with any other group of
people–we are perfectly matched
for the work that we do.

and on the days when
calls push us hard against
the wall, we push back with
a vengeance that comes wrapped
in fire and bold presentations.

we are not your average
team; we wear remarkable on
our sleeves–clever human beings,
slaying the trenches of the
scheduling world effortlessly.
