Since 1982 I have done hundreds of hours of volunteer work with the homeless. I never in my wildest imagination thought I myself would end up joining them. And yet here I am. Due to the meltdown of the sober living house where I was, I am now homeless.
As I write this, I am at the Path of Life homeless shelter in Riverside, CA.
At first I was devastated and scared to death at the prospect of becoming homeless. Question ran through mind mind. How would I be able to attend school for alcohol and drug counseling. Would I ever be able to get off the streets. Were my dreams, hopes and passion about to be gone. How was I going to survive?
I am not going to lie and say that all of these have been answer and I can put a rosy picture on the situation. I do know though that if I can trust God and trust the people who care about me, I can through this. I do know that I will come out of this a stronger person with more compassion and wisdom of what those who are done and out are dealing with this.
So for those of you who believe in the power of prayer, I ask for and appreciate your prayers.
God Bless
