homelessness on the horizon

I have shared housing for the last 4 yrs with a woman that I thought of as a friend. Recently, I gave up my room and started sleeping on the living room floor to accommodate a new roommate. Since day one the woman I thought to be my friend began to betray me, even lying to my face for no apparent reason. It is now to the point these two women sit behind closed doors and talk about me behind my back thinking of ways to spite me. I have so many knives in my back I could get rich if I sold them door to door. I can't take it anymore (this has been going on for 5 months. So I have decided to chuck it all and stay in a homeless shelter in downtown LAs skid row. Now the choice might seem odd but my income is a total of 221 dollars per month ( thus the reason I willing gave up my room) I have already thrown most everything I own away when I gave the room up. But I find I still have too much to drag around in one of those shopping carts you buy at the grocery store. ( I use it as a walk now a days)
I need prayers just for my safety and that everything goes as I plan. I am rather excite about getting out of here, I have been pretty much home bound for 2 years now. Believe it or not I think this is Gods will, I knew 5 months ago it would come to this but about 2 months ago I felt God urging me to do this. You get in a comfort zone and you resist change but look at all the people I can be a witness to!!! And we are going to be in the exact same situation so no one will feel as though I am looking down at them. I will be here for about 20 days I hope to be gone on the 9th of November.

Okay again I need prayers thanks!!

At least you know it's God's plan. Eccl. 3:1. In the early church, they used to tell people "you will be received wherever you go, for 'the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof'" (Ps. 24:1). They used to call those people wandering apostles and wandering prophets. Please keep us posted whenever you can get online. I have enjoyed your posts for the weeks I have been here.

thanks I am hoping I can use computer at library I was just about to google that *_*

Pray for you trust in the Lord and he will be all you need

By the way my dreams for the past two weeks have been about rooms. They are always rooms I am moving into. Sometimes in one night I will have two or three dreams like this, always different rooms. After about the third night of these dreams I knew a change was coming.

You are in my prayers in Jesus for all your needs to be provided.
My husband and I were homeless for a while, many years ago, it was a perfect time of knowing Jesus and resting in Jesus , my feet hardly touched the ground.
I pray you will recieve the same joy and perfect in Jesus that we did.

God bless

God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways you cannot see. He will show you the way. Wow I really feel for your situation. If you have 221 per month just try and use it to get around an look for work. That's all you can do. Try and find a live in nanny job where you take care of someone's children. If you have access to the internet maybe you can use that to find work. I'll try give you a few ideas okay....

First is friends and family, contact them all. Tell them what's going on and how you're looking for helping hand for a short time until you get back on your feet.

If for some strange reason you can't find anyone, and there's got to be someone, then see a social worker in your area and see about getting on social assistance.

If you've done that too, then start looking for work.... And there's 2 approaches to this.....

1) Get a resume done up

2) Email that to all the temp agencies in your area

3) Email it to any job ads you an find in the local job databank system daily.

4) Decide on some kind of service you can do. Like maybe house cleaning, dog walking, babysitting, nanny, house sitting, Then place ads online in the local classified ads offering these services and see if you get any bites.

Just keep trying. God will open a door for you. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened, ask and it shall be given to you.

Here's an old saying I heard one time...... "anyone who ever told you life was gonna be easy or fair lied!". that's true. Life can be difficult. So what you got to do is you got to be tough on yourself. If that means you wake up at 7am and get 100 resumes out there, and knock on 100 doors you do that, day after day until someone gives you a chance. Then when you get a job, you save every last dime you possibly can. And you try and find a better job. And you just keep going, working hard, networking, getting to know people, praying, trusting in God, and he will turn things around. In a year you'll look back and you'll be like "wow I can't believe I was almost on the street, now I'm living in a nice house, got a great job, got new friends, a great church etc etc". It can happen if you try.

I know life is hard. Sometimes I want to give up too. But I know I just got to keep trying. That's all I can do, and pray and hope for better things to come meanwhile enjoying today as a gift from God. We're all here praying for you okay!

Dear lord please help this person to gain renewed strength. To not give up. To find renewed purpose in life and new opportunities. Amen

So what was that like anyway? I've never been homeless? but I lost my good business about 2 yrs ago. So I have no income right now. I maybe shouldn't have let it go so easy. I might be able to rebuild it though, but it would be challenging. I'm not worried for now but I got to get something going again soon.

Agreeing in prayer with my family in Christ.
God Bless you and keep you!

Thanks for praying everyone I know the fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much!!

I'm praying for you and I know you will make it because the LORD never fails and He is with you.

Forgive them for their unkind behaviour toward you.

May you be comforted and guided in the name of Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.

At first it was frightening, and depressing, as we had small children, and I was pregnant with another.
We lost all due to the wrongs of another.
But as each day passed, and I had to look to Jesus for everything, for we had lost so much.
Then an amazing freedom took place, as no longer did I fear what could be lost, I saw all that was gained.
For no longer did the clutter of everyday life have any hold on me, all we needed was provided by Our Lord Jesus, and we saw miricals again and again.
Jesus was the center of my life and thoughts, and all needed, and He became so much more real and alive in everything lived.
We saw needs provided, even those things thought to be impossible.
In time , everything was restored and more, but the true gift was not the things gained, but the time where Jesus was all I had, and all looked to, and that has been the most perfect gift any one can hope for and recieve!
Simply because He became all I needed, and all given!
I cannot say I would like to be homeless again, but I can say, when one does lose all worldly gains, only then, can one come to see and know the greatest gift given, all is Jesus!

God bless
