My family and I have been living in a shelter in Chico, CA for a year. As of April 20th, they intend to kick us out and we have nowhere to go. I've been posting for help on FB and a few people have helped us, praise God and bless them for ever, but we are in dire straights. Everyone wants to pray for us but no one wants to help us with what we NEED- a home even if it's but a room for 3-myself, my husband and our three-year-old, Ish. Part of me feels like by posting this, I'm wasting my time; we don't trust anyone anymore, particularly those who claim to be of faith. We've been hurt by the "church", we invested emotional trust in it and they turned around and stabbed us in the back at a time when we needed people to stand with us. I grew up in the church and know the good side- and the bad side. Please forgive me if I've judged inaccurately, one can't broadbrush everyone and I'm not trying to do that. The truth is healing- but also angering. We love the Lord more than anything and pray daily for the coming of Yeshua but in the meantime, my unemployment has stopped, we're forced to rely on the government for help- a government, that to our eyes, could care less if we lived or died. We want a home for our son- he's a good boy and needs stability. Please reach into your hearts and let the Spirit lead. I don't know if what I'm posting here will even be read- much less responded to; I'm not the kind of person who's seen as needy- I'm too forceful a personality and strong a female- but I love my family and I'm desperate to get a job so we can "owe no man anything". Like I said, I grew up in church and can quote scripture with the best of 'em- but I prefer to live my faith not quote it. Thank you, may God bless and keep you and cause his face to shine upon you and give you peace
