I'm trying my hardest to view my roller coaster life as exciting vs terrifying, but its not getting any easier. I've spent countless hrs over the past few days clearing my storage so I don't have that bill to pay. Today we worked all day finishing it up in 105 heat. Tonight I have to finish packing the last few things. Tomorrow is my last day unless $250 magically falls from the sky.
I have been searching and I haven't found any place to live. A friend of mine offered her couch a day ago so I asked to take her up on that which she has now revoked due to things she didn't consider. I do have a place to stay tomorrow night. But after that I'm homeless. There's a rumor going around the church that I'm living with my bf and I never would. I talked to a friend of mine and she offered me a number to a sober living house and I've never had an addiction problem. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.

You COULD move in with your boyfriend. Drastic times call for drastic mesures. Just keep looking up to God. He takes care of the swallows, He'll take care of you too. You just gotta hold on.

I'm not moving in with my bf.
It would be wrong on many levels, the least of which is that he lives on a property with two houses, his and the missions pastors who have two teenage boys and a Chinese exchange student. Everyone already thinks I'm living with him. I refuse to fan the flame.

Thank you for all your prayers. I've been string so far, moved everything (several truck loads) with the help of my amazingly selfless and sacrificial boufriend. Thursday we spent 4 hrs clearing my storage and yesterday he had a morning game, worked 8 hrs and spent another 3 hrs moving stuff from my room. Last night I stayed with a friend. Today I spoke with the ministry leader for service to the poor. She's also an apt manager... Mine when i had an apt. She was also homeless and living under a bridge when she moved here from Argentina. Today I'm stating at some more friends for a week and we'll see from there.
As unstressful as this had been I have only been handling the stress better. But I realized today that being homeless isn't what bothers me. The hard part is feeling like I'm burdening people.

Have you and your boyfriend considered marriage?

Yes but we still need to wait. I'm newly divorced though my husband left 2 yrs ago and ended contact then. We've only been dating a little over 5 months so were probably looki g at at least another 6 or 7 months.

Lord, while may there may not have been any for you in Bethlehem, you came we have abundant life. For in our Father's there are many rooms, so I ask you will bring forth a place for Jordache. Lord bring forth means that she will be able to continue to have a roof over head. Lord, forth a flood of blessing in her life that her joy may be full in you. In Yeshua's name I pray. Amen.

Prayed for this in Jesus name. Nobody should have to live on a roller coaster. Prayed for a long term solution.

You might already know this but what you said is extremely cool on so many levels...

You did not let a trial get between your morals and faith... You know that grabbing at a little temptation here and there could ultimately end up in unwanted effects...

I just have to say, reading that one post honestly inspires me... I have prayed and will pray for you... I know what it is like to be near homeless... I have struggled with many issues like taking 'handouts' and swallowing my pride...

I get two responses over and over. So many people are telling me to move in with him...church people. The others give me a number to a shelter. Me in a shelter isn't a good idea. Ask anyone. I attract weirdos...

being in a shelter is better than being in the streets...are you homeless as of now?
