As a black thumb (mechanic) by trade I never imagined I'd be chasing danger noodles and trash pandas. But God works in mysterious ways.
Proverbs 16:9 HNV — A man's heart plans his course, But the LORD directs his steps.
I also started out as a Mechanic(after the Army, Air-Force, and later the Surgeon General himself denied my flat feet)
I grew tired of flat-rate, as if the shop was slow, there was no money to be made.
Independent shops had their pros and cons, and I tired of it all in a few years.
I don't even like working on my own vehicles...but won't pay anyone else to either.
I even get to change the oil in my truck this weekend...yay, lol
I like to work on bikes in my spare time, but turn away most jobs anymore, only working on mine and a few close friends.
As after a while, too much of it blurs the lines of a hobby and work.
And as said, I also love animals...but am no fan of poisonous snakes. I enjoy seeing the big black snake several times a year in my back yard, keeping the poisonous ones and mice and rats in check.
I am also a hypocrit, sinner, and a screw up...but a firm beliver and follower of Jesus Christ, the risen Lord and savior.
And it is always nice to see Proverbs quoted, as there is tremendous wisdom and direction in that book.
