my medical bill is almost paid in full.
almost.
this same debt collector has been calling me monthly, always speaking softly, always kind and slightly nervously, no matter how many ways i told him i couldn’t pay him, call me again in two weeks…
today when we spoke over the phone, Dwayne started the call with, “miss youngblood, you’ve done so well with your payments. you’ve taken it from $xxx down to just the last $xxx! you’ve been through a lot, kristi, and i’m proud of you for doing what you can. you’re doing so great, conquering all your giants. it’s been hard for everyone, and you’re no exception. so what can you do today to help knock out this account?”
i told him what a difference it made to me that he was consistently so kind, and today his encouragement was ever so greatly received.
we conducted our business and he responded, “great. and hey, since you’re writing down that confirmation number, here are a couple of books that i’ve recently been working through that have made a big difference for me.”
i didn’t want to loose it. i wrote it on my hand. then found both of the titles as free ebooks.
sometimes, the best messages come from unlikely messengers. i’m just glad i got the message.
