HOME

HOME

We all need rest, we've all been in some type of emotional and physical pain. It's so essential that if you miss time, your body and mind will suffer. I've experienced loss of proper sleep by being in emotional and physical pain. I've lost a home, had to put everything I owned in storage, gave my belongings away, been homeless, lived and traveled in my car. I'm Passionate about Helping the Homeless because I lost my home 4.5 years ago due to Hurricane Irene.

We've lived with several people who blessed us with a room to sleep in. How we found our HOME was through prayer and a set of unexpected circumstances. We were invited to a prayer meeting in September 2015 and afterwards we were going to move to Virginia to start our new ministry opportunity and living arrangement! We were excited how God was moving, all our friends and family were happy for us too! We got to where we needed to be on September 20, 2015 and three days later the man who invited us apologized and said he found out in his lease that he couldn't take anyone in his home. It was such devastating news! We had no home to go to because it was already rented out to someone new!

I prayed to Abba Father and said that I don't know anyone here and there's nowhere to go. Abba assured me with an answer immediately: This is your family. I really got to connect with people after that and I just kept meeting new people with a lot of love to share! We've traveled all around. Everywhere we go, we go to pray! Abba has blessed us everywhere we go! Now we've been Blessed Beyond Belief by the Best Love in the Universe! We got the KEYS to our new 2 bedroom apartment on February 4th, 2016!!! We are So Thankful to Jesus!

Abba Father took our Dis-appointment and turned it into HIS-appointment!

Isaiah 58:7
I want you to share your food with the hungry people. I want you to find poor people that don't have homes, and I want you to bring them into your own homes. When you see a man that has no clothes--give him your clothes! Don't hide {from helping those people}; they are just like you.

My Prayer is to have Homes of Hope so people can rest and feel safe. Give people hope, real hope. Not occasionally when the weather is too cold or too hot, but a real place to live. Give people dignity, a place to belong. We're all part of a family, a great big family that cares for each other. When one person is broken, we lift each other up.

2. If you're camping out in your car, make sure you park overnight in a well lit area where other cars park (like a hotel). It's VERY Important to park next to other cars so you won't be bothered

3. Try to have three outfits and wash your laundry often. Dress nicely everyday.

4. Eating out can be difficult if you don't have too much money, but there are places like Panera Bread and Starbucks that have a point system where you can earn free food! I eat at Starbucks almost everyday! They have FREE Wifi and you can have unlimited coffee and tea refills all day long with the Starbucks reward card. Also watch your email for special offers for extra stars.
There are also places that have free community lunches (mostly churches). Always Google the area you're in for free places to go. You'll be surprised!

5. There is NO SHAME in asking for help! I've learned plenty of times to ask for help! People have often said to me: it's a shame I didn't know, I would have helped!

6. Do you need an address? Get a PO Box and use the street address, 123 Main St #555, Anytown, MA USA. It's a Safe and Secure way to get established. You will need to go online with a valid credit card, ID and pay for 3 months. It will generally cost between $15 & $25.

7. Prayer changes things! God Answers Prayer! Jesus, I put all my hope in You, I feel lost and I want to be found. I believe You came to my heart today, I was looking for someone to save me. I believe that You died for me, that when You died You took my place! I believe You rose into Heaven, and when You rose, You took all the pain in my heart, and brought me to New Life! I Love You Jesus, thank You for Loving me. Amen!
