I was left by my ex husband in 2012 after 18 years. No warning. Me and my six kids were preparing to join him in Texas. He text me it was over. I was devastated. I passed out everyday and lost 60 lbs. I got pregnant by another man who got me through the pain. I had no job and very little money. He closed all accounts. Took all access to everything. Stop paying the rent, car and registration. We were evicted. I was pulled over and found out about the tag and insurance. They took my truck with all my kids and groceries in the truck at 10st night in the middle of December. My baby was 4 weeks old. We stay with my mom in one room on two mattresses. I slept pregnant in my truck. I sublease a house and was evicted because the girl wasn't paying the rent. My dad was paying for that. I went back to my mom's who said I couldn't stay long there cause she would be cotteling me. I was going to a shelter.My son's coach had a friend who's parents died and their house was vacant. They made it livable and let us stay there for $100. He paid for the gas to hear the house. He bought the kids a tree for Christmas and all the kids gifts. Even me. My ex's wife get the truck back. Mind you I was in school full time this whole time and pregnant and my then boyfriend was in and out of jail and we were fighting all the time when he got drunk he'd jump on me. When my divorce was final, I met a lady at a store who knew someone with a house. I needed one because I could no longer stay at this other house I wss graciously blessed with. I moved into that house on faith. I was still in school and had no job. Only child support ordered after the divorce. The whole time I was only getting $200-400 a month from him. The order was for $1224. That's why I moved. The rent was $650. That wss June 2013. I graduated that same month. I got a job in August with the degree earned and walked two weeks later with honors. I worked there almost two years. One month from the two year mark, July 2015 I was fired. They accused me of selling prescriptions. But the month before I had taken another job to make extra money. I called them that day to say I can work full time. I did. In April this year I took another job and left there full time but prn. In Sept this year I was fired and called the job where I am now and I started that day. I work now for the same company that fired me last year. They had been calling me since May to come back. I wss fearful but God msg it where I had no choice and now they pay me $3 more than when I left and I'm the office manager. I manage those same people that lied on me. I even had to fire one after not even three weeks. I moved to a larger house in 2014. The house I took a picture in front of a month before it became available. It was $250 more. I dropped out on faith. I'm still here. God gets the glory tho. It wasn't me. It was my faith and still is. I just found out 2 weeks ago I have cyst on my ovaries and a large fibroid in my uterus pressing my bladder. The left one is almost bigger than the ovary. I have to have surgery. I have to pay for my doctors visit. I have no insurance but I have faith. God hasn't failed me yet. Why would he start now? I know it's a book and I've had bumps along the way I didn't mention but I just wanted to share my testimony with you too say that you will be ok. That was the sermon today. Trust only God. Man will fail you.
