Hey. Im 30 year old female from North. Ive been christian for ten years but its been very rocky road to get at this point where im now. But.. I became homeless over a month go and was living on streets with no place to sleep no food and no money. Some point got some money but did not have a place to stay /go. I dont have any relationship with my parents or other family members, so I was alone. But met many interesting persons and Jesus really took care of me.

And then when it got really dark , I mean I caught a cold + fever need to left from the homeless shelter where I were the last night and I was sitting on railwaystations bench feeling really worse and cold and no idea where to go , almost half asleep when sitting there , I took my bag and went to a park nearby to pray and praise God. I shouted help from the Lord I said please Lord helpme do something im sick tited and hungry and need just some place where to sleep please do something. I remembered Psalm 50:15.

Then I got these words to my heart "My saving righteousness is not far away from you" so I went back to the center to get some rest. And when I left there didnt have any idea where to go. At night I felt like need to go another psark and pray God. I said in my mind " Ok God I go but please dont live me there with this flu". I admit had some moments doubts in my heart but I prayed God to give me freedom those doubts and thoughts.

While sitting tthere I remembered 1 christian women with I used study years ago, found his phone number from the internet or actuslly her working number and same night got sleepingplace from her apartment and then she rent one room for me from her working place. But people are working here many days from 9am to 21pm so i need to be away that time except on weekends.

Still got this flu and fever (and breathing hurts). And now on couple days ive been feeling in my heart need to move on soon from here and no idea where im gonna go plus still sick and so tired that exsmple this day has gone half sleeping on the coach.

If you could pray for me id be thankful also glory and honor to God for all of His blessings in my life. Take care and GBU

Hello and welcome. :) Your OP actually is more of a testimony and belongs in that forum. Would you like me to ask a mod to move it for you?

Because worry, doubt and fear is what humans are good at doing. It's what satan feeds on, and that's why the bible says "let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid". :) The devil doesn't have a hoof to stand on, as long as we rely on God and are not afraid. :)

You wrote quite an introductory post. I have said a prayer for God to deliver you from the hard situation that you find yourself and lead to a safe place where you can be warm and fed. I feel very bad for you but the only thing that I can do is to pray for you. Glad to have you join our family. Welcome to CC.

Sussen~ My sister was homeless for all of one summer and into the late fall, it drew her closer to God, as she prayed most of the time. I have a small mobile home that I rent and when it became empty, I wanted her to have it. At first she was very thankful and said so many times, however, that thankfulness has evaporated for some reason, as she has stopped paying the little rent $225.00 per month that I was charging her. It is unfair to me that she would do this, and i really do not want to think about having to evict her, but if things do not change it may lead to that.

Amen ! Thank you for your prayer , blessings to you Silverwing! Sorry to hear about your situation with your sister , I hope it works out for the best both of you. As being homeless I can say if someone offers you a warm and safe place to sleep and eat and go to shower etc. It feels like heaven on earth :D
