Homeless at this Moment


I am sitting outside a Starbucks using my laptop and their WIFI.
I have a one duffel bag that is half full with some of my things.

I was told that professionals will come and pack my things.
They will be moved to a storage location.
I will get the key.
That moving of my things could happen tomorrow.
They have another house manager ready to start tonight.
That is why I was rushed out in less than 5 hours.

I have 104 dollars in my Pay Pal online account.
I can use it to buy things online but not a motel room.
I set up a new bank account this afternoon.
After they mail me the ATM card then I can use the Pay Pal debit card.

I have been searching for best value for motel room in Dallas by the week.
The prices are about 35 to 50 dollars or more a night.

The cell phone I was using belonged to the company so they took it back.
I will need a basic cell phone very soon.

I do not have a car or money for a bus pass.

Right now it is 608 PM.
There is lots of sunlight and it is warm out here.

My only means of communication is to post this online and get emails.

This is one of the biggest tests of my faith.
I believe that God will provide right on time.
I do not know how or when.

Maybe God will open a door for me to sleep on someone’s couch tonight.
Maybe a friend will come take me to a motel for this night.
I can pay them back with items from Amazon.
I can go to a library tomorrow and make more contacts.

At this moment it still feels best to stay in a motel for about a week or two at most.
From there with WIFI I can sort out the next residence.
I might seek and find a roommate or private place.
I might seek and find a job.
I will need money to bridge the gaps for a while.

God has not changed.
Jesus is still Lord.
Jesus is my Good Shepherd all day and every day.
God loves me and cares about me.
God knows every detail of what happened and why I am here.
The Holy Spirit lives inside of me and can guide me to a safe place tonight.
I am one member of the greater body of Christ.
God has used prayer requests like this in the past to guide and provide.

I do not feel bad about what suddenly happened today.
The relationships were getting more strained each week.
I look forward to a fresh start.

Please pray for God to guide my thoughts, words and deeds.
May I know who to contact and how to ask for help.

Here is my Pay Pal link
I cannot use the money tonight but I can use it soon.

What would help me is a fund raising target.
In the past when I requested a certain amount then I asked for prayer.
God supplied that much and sometimes more.
At this moment I do not have a fund raising goal.
Pray for God to guide in how much to raise.
May that much come in on time.

Also I need shelter for tonight.
Only Jesus can untangle this mess.

Shalom
