The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. ~ Exodus 14:14 (KJV)
Javier Martinez was not a temperamental man. He did not lose his composure easily. This man sitting across from him, though… All things considered, Javier wanted to ream him out.
Javier could understand being over the budget. He could understand not needing another set of hands on the job, and he could even understand having to fire a guy because of those things. That was – as much as it could be, anyway – okay. He just found it a little offensive that his boss was too preoccupied – not apologetic; just preoccupied – to look him in the eye as he handed him his check and told him to get off the jobsite.
But Javier just bit his lip, took his check, and walked away. He hadn't liked his boss, but he needed the job so that he could provide for his family. Since he apparently couldn't keep his job, a good, solid reference would come in handy, and he wouldn't get one of those if he chewed his boss out. So, fighting to keep calm while already praying for God's help in finding a new job, Javi kept his peace and walked away from the jobsite, having no idea about the amazing, life-changing experiences, that were going to head his way, starting with building Adam Mitchell's shed…
