How am I doing? 3 months homeless, purpose, scars

✝️ By Gods grace I’m doing good, I’m doing okay. I’m doing much better than I was on January 18th the day of my lockout/eviction. I’m blessed to have a place to stay while God continues to order my steps. I’m grateful for my friend who has graciously allowed me and my dog to stay with her. I’m blessed🤍 I do have to say that it hasn’t been easy. I do have scars and I am healing. The most difficult parts have been watching people who I thought would show up for me and haven’t. When life situations happen God will show you exactly who is around you. Not for you to have ill feelings toward them but to be aware of how to completely depend on God. God places people in your life not only for the good parts of them but also for the imperfect parts. The imperfect parts of people really mold you into who God needs you to be. You learn patience, forgiveness, over and over again, seeing through the lens of God and not your own. You start to have compassion for people who did you wrong. It’s been a journey, my family and my closest friends have in someway disappointed me by not being their in ways that I expected them to be; but I know it’s Gods plan for the betterment of my purpose. I’m taking one day at a time and continuing to strengthen my relationship with my Father. I’m comforted in knowing that I am exactly where God wants me to be. I know he loves me and I don’t understand everything I am going through but I do know because this is ordained by God there is purpose in it. My job as his daughter is to pray for clarity and see the lessons in it all and apply biblical principle and scripture to everything I am experiencing. ✝️🤍✝️🤍

❤️❤️ I hope your encouraged by my testimony, God Bless ❤️❤️

... Read moreNavigating through the challenges of homelessness can be overwhelming, yet it often leads to profound personal growth and self-discovery. Many individuals face feelings of isolation and disappointment when support systems fail to materialize. This experience can reveal true friendships and deepen one’s relationship with faith. Coping mechanisms such as journaling, prayer, and community engagement are essential tools for recovery. It's important to remember that healing is a journey, characterized by ups and downs. Engaging with local resources, shelters, and support groups can provide not only assistance but also a sense of belonging. Many have found solace in sharing their stories and connecting with others who have faced similar struggles. Building a support network, whether through faith-based organizations or community initiatives, can significantly impact mental and emotional well-being. Each scar tells a story of survival and resilience, reminding us that despite adversity, we are capable of overcoming challenges. Cultivating patience and compassion for oneself during hard times is vital. Looking to biblical scriptures can offer comfort and guidance, reminding us of God’s unwavering support and love. Through the trials faced, there is always hope for a brighter future. Embracing the lessons learned can help individuals redefine their purpose, fostering personal growth that inspires others. No journey is without struggle, but through faith and community support, healing and restoration are always possible.

Turn your pain into purpose — not by pretending it didn’t happen, but by letting it teach you how to rise. You survived nights that tried to break you. You held pieces of yourself others wouldn’t have found. Those scars aren’t weaknesses — they’re the ink that writes your story. Now take what hu

Homeless outreach… but make it presidential 👀🍽️
This is presidential meal prep in individual containers—hot, sealed, organized, and made with dignity… not charity vibes. Because the goal isn’t to “hand out food.” It’s to serve honor. ♥️ #HomelessOutreach #CommunityLove #ServeWithPurpose #FoodForTheSoul #KindnessInAction
