I almost didn’t make it.

I was running late. I could’ve turned around. It would’ve been easier to say, “Next time.”

But something in me refused to give up — not dramatically, just quietly. I kept going until the last minute.

And somehow… I made it.

In this diary entry, I talk about what happened in those in-between moments — the tension between inconvenience and discipline, the temptation to quit early, and the quiet choice to show up anyway.

What surprised me wasn’t just making it to class.

It was how God met me there.

Not in a church service.Not in a conference.

But on a bike. In a dim room. In sweat and breath and rhythm.

This episode is about:

• perseverance without pressure
• the miracles that happen when you don’t walk away too soon
• and the kind of faith that keeps moving even when it feels small

Maybe you’re closer than you think.
Maybe the breakthrough is five minutes away.

Some nights, obedience looks like worship.
Some nights, it looks like showing up.

Welcome to the late nights.
