Last Friday I went to a cafe at Sharon Baptist Church as usual. Everything was wonderful. the food, the ministry, the music, the bands, christian rappers, etc. When Mike Felton preached, he said something that changed my perspective on life. he said “your misery is your ministry” Wow. you see, just the day before i was kicked out of my house and left for homeless for the second time in 3 years. My misery is my childhood and how i’ve been continuously abandoned by the people who are supposed to be there for me. my own family. I trust God. He knows what He is doing. Mike also said that sometimes things get so hard that we ask God “why me?” the problem is not that we ask it. the problem is that we ask that question from the standpoint of the victim and not the victor. if we would say “why me Lord? why have you chosen me?” from the standpoint of a victor, then our perspective is changed. so i write this today by the grace of God. The very same day that i was put out, God provided free housing, free food, and a full-time job until school starts. He provided this at my college. So i id not have to spend the rest of the summer in a shelter. I have stayed in a shelter before. I am 21 years old and i have been homeless, motherless, fatherless, but never hopeless. Jesus has literally been everything to me. His love for me is simply amazing!
