Thank you for sharing you.. I'm currently going through exactly what you just disclosed.. My frustration is out the roof- so much so that I was calling on father God to bring me home... My body is in so much pain and it's starting to get cold here in, Texas. Idk what to do anymore.
Ohhh no, sorry to hear you are going through this and feeling that way. I will say I do feel better. That day was just an emotional day for me. I thank God for not staying stuck there. Please let the community here know how you can be helped. I received a wealth of great suggestions. I’m pretty sure someone can/will see your message and be just as kind to you as they have to me. I’m going to pin your message. Keep staying in touch. We all need to be surrounded by good, kind, and safe people. If not for ourselves, do it for God. ☺️🙏🏽
I am also homeless in TX. Living in my car. Repo man found me in Freeport the other day. Let me go. But I am officially on the ‘run’. Working FT also. So depressed. So over it.
Blessings to you. I lived in my car for 49 days and I was about 52 years old. Anyway, what I learned is this... I stopped saying, today is the last day in my car...instead everyday I would ask, God can I get out of this situation today? But hear this, about a week later my phone rang and it was a job offer in another town. I already had a job and I had never applied for the job that was calling. The lady said to me, I heard about you through a friend and I desperately need a cleaning contractor. I'm shocked.😱 I told her that I would have to find somewhere to live, she said, no you won't, an apartment comes with the job. That was in 2015 and I'm still here. So I said that to say this. Ask God because then he knows that you are truly depending on him. I love you and I'm praying with you.
@@lolitarouge *God always listens to us the problem is that people get in God's way and want to tell God how to "fulfill the prayer." LOL The most difficult part is "letting go and letting God." The quicker we can do that the faster our prayers are answered. In addition, we can't go by appearances. We have to work through faith* 🙏
I was homeless back in 2013 ...I kept believing things would get better everyday for 3 months n they did get better over 10 years later...I'm married now, my wife n I just build are brand new home...God is going bless u so big ...Mark my words❤
I can barely pay my mortgage!!. Food is outrageous. Cost of living has trippled. I feel just like you. Most are inches away from being homeless. 😢😢 Praying for a miracle for you, and all of us. It's now 65% of the US that is barely getting by. Oh Lord, please answer your daughters prayers. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖
I am watching you from Kenya in East Africa. Am so sorry for your situation. May God bring a solution for you and everyone else. Life is tough in America.
Hello. Your video popped up in my feed and I decided to watch as myself and my sister had been homeless living in my car 6 months over the last brutal winter (-15 below) in the Chicago suburban area. I have a Hyundai, a compact car, but my sister managed to create a living room of the front seats and adjustable bedroom/office of the passenger and back seats. The trunk was well organized for small but ample changes of clothing, food, water, and toiletries. Oh, and did I mention we had a pet at the time as well? The car ran 24/7 with heat continuously going due to the season, and we had a structured schedule that kept us occupied with routines and things to do every day which even included movie nights on the phone and other free recreations. We are both seniors in our mid 60's with disabilities so we also joined the gym to make the best of taking care of our health, fitness, and hygiene. I was the only one with a small source of disability income until my sister was able to start her retirement income earlier than planned. During the spring, we were able to get into a small one bedroom apartment in a fairly nice location (not very extravagant but reasonable rent) that didn't require the crazy 3 month income amount - so I know what you mean there. Looking back now, I can't recall feeling like we suffered - even so much as I know we did, but we just don't see it. For that matter, the only utility we now pay is electric - gas and water are provided!! When we reflect back, we see all the Blessings throughout this journey. It's not easy, by any means! Feeling trapped and frustrated is definitely a reality that comes during a struggle like this. I remember one night we spent at a gas station and feeling down. There was a young girl there, she looked to be in her early 20's. She sat against a wall sleeping on the ground in 20 degree weather. How could I keep feeling bad for myself/us!? Through it all, even in times of fear, I trust GOD If it's ok with you, I'd like to encourage you to continue to stay strong as you will be Blessed with Spiritual and Human strength beyond measure for this is only temporary. I know it's hard, it's even wearing your body. We had back and leg discomforts until we became more physically active - especially in the gym. We've even lost weight and keeping good eating habits that we began to follow during that time. In time, the amount of your income from work will be the least of your worries because FAITH will bring you through and you'll see the richness you've had all along. As it pertains to safety and privacy, please consider having your windows tinted. It was the one thing we didn't have that I still intend to do as a "just in case." Oooooh, and last but not least: We strongly thought to invest in an RV at one point as well - but so happy we didn't!!! They are a lot to maintain - more than you hear about from influencers. Structures, fixtures, general items bouncing or breaking while in motion Cost of keeping it fueled - type of fuel Keeping electricals functioning - battery power when RV not running/solar power on non sunny days Restricted from certain roads depending on classification - and in some cases time of day or night Parking restrictions - many places that allowed 24hr parking have changed Insurance coverage Tanks - water tanks, dump tanks and where you can refill or dump Cleaning - smell from bathroom waste, smell from food waste Leveling - more important than people realize Lack of stealth This isn't to discourage you, but to give you some insight to why we decided against an RV or conversion van. We have concluded that we would live out of a car or SUV if we ever faced this circumstance again. We hope the best to you!
I know a young couple in their 20s living in their car through the winter with the car running heat through the night but they had the windows up. They were both found dead because of a small leak of carbon monoxide that was coming into the car. Apparently if it's a really small leak you can't smell it and it is known as a silent killer while your in a deep sleep. I would recommend always leaving all windows cracked.
I disagree with your RV or conversion van comments, as you said you never had one, so how do you know? the trick is to don't use the tanks, so you don't need to dump the tanks that much, same with the water don't use unless you have too, I kept about 3 to 4 cases of bottle water in my RV, Oh! and you can find one of those cheap hotels😬 to stay at for 2 or 3 night😏
@@MichaelCamacho-l9g Yes. Unfortunately, these are those things that you learn while confronted with circumstances. We had the car fully inspected in preparation for the winter since we knew what we were facing, which is also when we learned to leave the windows slightly opened. Very sorry to hear about this young couple.
Praying for her too. For women being homeless is pure torture. And usually there isn't enough room to live especially in a car. I watched videos where they took mini vans and vans and trucks and turned them into campers. Something to consider. We live in government housing in this town where we live currently and it's been our home for over 10 years but to be honest there isn't a lot here and so many homeless and so many hating on those people which is really horrible. I hope these people on the streets and in vehicles can get up and out from being trapped/stuck. I don't have a van anymore because the transmission went out and I had to scrap it/auction people came and got it. I cried like a baby because we needed it to move, for shopping especially groceries. This past 1.5 years have been better but also a serious adjustment having to learn to ride the bus, I bike mostly and we walk. Daughter is 17 and works and she finally lucked up and rides with friends but many times she has to Uber and Lyft and many times they cancel, don't show up or leave early. The bus system here is constantly having buses go down as well and there have been times we had to walk or were stuck until we could call them to come get us or ask them what to do. We had like 7 buses or so I think but the past few years since C19 they lowered it down to 4 buses and built a garage for the buses and now that money should have been put back into the mini vans/buses themselves. Katz is good here but many times down or running late. It's been alot to deal with being physically disabled plus the moving here by ourselves which was hard and both of us were injured. I keep hoping and praying we can get another car but honestly I am 53 and feeling lost and stuck myself in life. I had to learn to take it a day at a time and try not to dwell on the bad stuff and find other ways to adjust. I have done well and so has my daughter but its still very hard trying to shop, do laundry and we have to stay in town or call the TennCare van for appointments. Sending hugs, love and respect to this lady. Being homeless is the worst and I have been there more than once. May she be blessed and so may everyone else who is struggling.
There are shelters for women and children, if available and sometimes some valuable resources! Also, take a a motel respid to be comfortable! Reach out to community resources.
Thank you for sharing your message. People who have a roof over their head, food in their stomach and a job that pays their bills sometimes don’t realize how blessed they are. Keep your head up, I’ll be rooting for you and your success. ❤
All it takes is one incident to bring everything crumbling down. A sickness a car accident get fired or laid off. Your job shuts its door etc. So those people better be thankful because it could happen at anytime
I agree. I work at airport and I've seen alot of ppl there sleeping, although some must have missed their flight. Also, I have a friend who sleeps in in her car at the hospital ER parking lot.
I lived in my car then progressed to an office because I could atleast have a pull out sofa/futon, my own microwave and mini refrigerator ($415) a month plus had a bathroom. I felt safer and warmer but still paranoid. Now I’m in my own place have my twins now and have saved enough to move us all abroad. It’s just God taking you back a few steps to propel you to prosperity
I hope your situation gets better soon and for all of us. Been on this ride for 3 years. It's rough, but I've been doing house sitting to help buffer the uncomfortablity.
Keep your faith, God will bring you out of your situation, I was once homeless, I had two children, I prayed, I live with someone I throught was a friend save money and agreed to give her a certain amount,got a apartment in a poverty stricken area, got beds first after paying that off, I got a table etc. God is good, I went through this again I tried marriage it didn't work now, I got to start over again but each time I was blessed with a better quality of life.because I was thankful for the little blessings, God continue to bless me more I never stop praying. God is watching all of us. You work there must be someone that you can give a few dollars, while you get yourself together in Three to six month you can also help with cooking, cleaning if they will let you live with them for a fews dollars, While you save money . God does work through people❤. While living with people I know it's not easy, it takes patience, flexibility, humbleness ,mental strength, prayer and God; and keeping your mind on getting out of this situation. May God bless you
Your truth is shared by many of us so stay strong. I was a Software Engineer at NASA in Maryland and because of health issues lost my house, job and found out where all the nearby food pantries were, but not my car which I to enjoyed as my address :-). The fact that you have a job is a blessing indeed !! Have you considered just renting a room instead of an apartment?
How u tried to find a room, put a notice up in your church seeking a room to rent , a senior woman make consider renting you a room in her home, you seem like a nice trustworthy lady.🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
Sis, go to social services and let the system help you with housing. God knows your heart. Your situation is heartbreaking, and I pray you find housing sooner rather than later. I commend you for starting your UA-cam channelthat’s a beautiful thing! I need to do the same because I feel called to be more active on social media as well. Even in your position, you’re inspiring others. God bless you for striving to be honest in a dishonest world. You . Sometimes, we have to play the game to make it in a falling world.
You should get a CNA licence. You'll ALWAYS have a job. Always work. Best part is you can work crazy overtime. Hospitals are best because they are 12hr shifts. Grind - work 5 days 60hrs/wk. Yes it's gross but it's fast survival money. Like you'll get hired within 1wk. After you get 6mth experience you'll get hired same day of looking. You can do it. Then go down to 3-4 days to maintain. You can get a CNA licence in 3 days in some places. Pay is like $20+/hr. Good luck
No not the best advice. On surface this advice seems good but, she has to do more. LVN, or RN. CNA work is taxing on the body. Look at the long term. CNA is a short term solution. Do not rent an apartment. In-home-live in and go to school. Toyota and Honda only = dependable car.
@MsJ.TeacherToTech So your solution is for her to commit to a 1yr+ program & $10k-$50k debt or a 3 year journey & $60k-$100k debt to address her IMMEDIATE problem now? Vs 3day-2wk program $500+ CNA program??? CNA is a start and could instantly change her circumstances. You're right it is tough on the body but manageable until she figures out her next move.
I totally resonate with so much of what you are saying in your videos and my heart truly goes out to you. I currently live with my grandmother and going through a divorce, life is certainly a struggle but God has and is blessing me through the process. I also have gifts in many areas of design and I also sell faith-based digital products on Etsy which has truly been a blessing. I don't know what city you live in, but you would be more than welcome to park in our driveway anytime, and I'm sure we could find a way to help somehow and even if you don't live in the area. Stay strong, praying for you....God bless.
I agree with previous comments. Consider upgrading your vehicle for a van, rather than a camper so you can live stealthily. There are so many video tutorials on how to "furnish" a van for little $$. A van would allow you more space to spread out & would give you a space to cook with a small bottled gas camping stove. You don't need plumbing to have a washbasin, a simple bowl and bottled water can suffice, water can be disposed off out of the van. You can have a small camping toilet, for those nightly emergencies, you can use solar lights and battery lights. You can purchase a small camping fridge/freezer. Most importantly, you will be independent and saving $$. You could "treat" yourself to renting a cheap room for a night or two maybe once a month, to give you a break & something to look forward to. Your situation is not ideal as far as the norms we have been conditioned to believe in, but instead of limiting your options to the "norm" of renting an apartment or a house, maybe consider other "norms" that will benefit you better in the long term? Having a space you can enjoy decorating, planning and fitting out could be cathartic, give you a purpose and something to keep your mind busy and positive. Watching others on UA-cam highlighting real solutions to real van life problems, using your home on wheels to your advantage to find free items left outside homes that you can put to good use etc. The reality is, that there is a whole new generation of young people, middle aged people and seniors, all over the world, in the UK, in Europe, in the US, whose only option for living independently is van living. However, in this age of solar power and so many amazing camp living options, people are discovering that apart from the lack of space, living in a van does not mean having to go without heat, lights, water, toilets, cooking, etc. Instead of working to pay bills and rent and unable to afford to enjoy life, people are choosing to accept the limited space and work to LIVE life instead. Travelling in their "home" when they are not working, saving $$ from not paying extortionate rent costs and utility bills. Changing one's mindset, can sometimes be the difference between feeling low and miserable or feeling liberated and free from the ties of slum landlords and the stress of affording the bills. AND just think about all those $$$ you will save!! Make a home on wheels that you can be proud of, a home that people will envy, a home you enjoy spending time in. I just Sub'd, I'm looking froward to watching your channel grow, good luck.
Yes! Thank you! I will be praying 🙏🏽 for you as I pray for myself. Thank you for being my first subscriber. I truly appreciate it. You hang in there as well. 🥰
It makes no sense that these landlords want people to 3 times the amount of the rent. This system is designed to keep people in their current positions. You are in my prayers. Things will change but it may take time. Stay strong Sis! ❤❤❤
I came across your video in my feeds. I am 68 years old and having going through some struggles throughout life. Let me tell you, when you have a personal relationship with God and learn to recoginze HIS guidance and you LISTEN then WALK IN FAITH. Its a wonderful feeling. There's no IF, ANDS or BUTS when you are receiving his guidance. Its is a for sure thing, peaceful and loving.
Father God, l ask that you bless your faithful child with all that she needs & more! She deserves it! You know it, l know it, you know that l know it. Amen
I know you mean well but none of us deserve anything from God except condemnation and separation because of Adam's legacy. Except for unmerited grace, through Christ, everything from God is a gift, not something you earned. If you don't know that then you, by default, devalue His awesome mercy and grace. I don't believe you really want to do that.
@@vetgirl71 Greetings. I appreciate your responding to my post. At no point in my post did I judge her heart or motives. It is in fact a caring and loving gesture to tell the truth or to encourage someone to question their own motives if you, as a friend or neighbor, have a perspective you believe they don't have. If you're standing in the middle of oncoming traffic and someone says "I think it's possible that you've made a mistake in choosing where to stand." is that unloving? If there's a car coming and you yell at them to move... is that being disrespectful? To another bystander who doesn't see what you see, it could well look disrespectful, unkind and rude but in reality be something to save someone's life. You made reference to my possibly being a "Christian". Do you know about the scriptures that say if you find your brother/sister on a wrong path that you should lovingly and respectfully correct them? It's up to them whether they heed your advice or not. Same with this young lady. I was completely respectful in my comment. Do you think Jesus was being un-Christ-like when He rebuked Peter? How about when Paul rebuked Peter for being a hypocrite? In all honesty, I have a feeling that this young lady has fallen victim to the over--feminized notion that at no point should she embrace constructive criticism, conviction, rebuke or correction and that all she should receive is "God bless you baby,, It'll be alright, God's got you, be strong... so on and so forth, a bunch of flowery, psuedo-pious platitudes to make her feel good while she's going down a path that isn't supported by any example of Spirit-led women in scripture. I've lived long enough to have seen many young women make decisions they thought were good, in the sincerity of their heart, but they were misled and suffered needlessly, except to learn a lesson, if they learned. Blessings to YOU! I pray that you won't be one of those young ladies.
Keep your head up queen. I was in the same situation. I purchased an acre of land in Mississippi very inexpensive and I purchased a small shed converted it into a tiny home. I feel so much better.
Please don't make the mistake of sharing with your co-workers about your situation. Also don't share about starting a You tube page. Since you paying a car note- think about switching to a minivan. Will give you room to stretch out and be stealth.
Go with a van ... It does give you more room and it's much easier to maintain. I understand you wholeheartedly. I was displaced for about a year. I was a plus size woman with a job, but I was not making enough money to get an apartment. Apartment. Especially with the criteria saying that you have to make three times the rent plus have first and last month's rent and a deposit which is ridiculous. I had to live with people as well and slept in my car a couple of nights. But I can assure you it's a lesson that you need to learn through all of this and when God blessed me, he blessed me abundantly. I was able to get a new job, a new place as well as a new car all at the same time. Stay diligently in prayer and walk the path that God has for you. He does answer prayers. Walk by faith and not by sight and you will see. Be blessed and always be a blessing
❤ here's something that you can try to help with your sleeping arrangement Or relaxation in the car. #1. Slide the driver seat and the front passenger seat forward towards the dashboard. #2 then take the headrest off of the top of the front passenger seat. #3 now, let the front passenger seat, lay back on to the back seat behind it. #4 now get into the back of the car behind the driver seat. #5 if need be till the back of the driver, seat forward to give you room to raise your legs over on to the passenger seat that is now laying down. #6 get creative use pillows, folded clothes. Or whatever else it takes to make your life comfortable. I hope this helps.
From one woman living in her car to another, my heart goes out to you ❤️ the system is so fixed it’s hard to break out of this situation once you’re in it. I feel your words so hard. I believe we’re going to get that upper hand and change our lives. Stay safe. Keep fighting.
Today there are so many people struggling and close to being homeless and that are homeless You have such a humble spirit and you Trust God Your Your faith and Trust will soon give a testimony on how God change your situation Be Blessed keep Praying because There's about to be a Blessed Season ahead
My prayers go out to you and just know that no situation is permanent. God has a way of raising and growing roses from ashes of of our shortcomings. Continue believing in Him and continue being faithful in all chapters you go through. I cant wait to hear your testimony coz that is what is coming next!
Just a suggestion! When I need to make decisions and feeling overwhelmed by a situation. My prayers become very specific and I always ask God for wisdom, discernment and to see things for what they really are and not what I think they are. I hope this helps!
Sooo glad I found you on Utube. I’m an empath as well as a person inbred with the ability to sense ‘good vibes’. Thank you for sharing your journey. I will be watching all of your videos. You’re making a difference already. 🙏🏾🙏🏾😍😍
I hear you… I’m in the same position. I’ve worked in the legal field for over 30 years and still do and yet I don’t make enough money to afford the rent at triple income to the rent amount. I’ve been in my car for over a year now in the horrific heat of the summer and the pretty cold temperatures in the winter. I find myself crying a lot and talking to God a lot and being confused because I don’t understand. Prior to my rent becoming more than I could handle anymore because they kept raising it for a 385 square-foot apartment, I had never been late on a payment and had been a good tenant supporting my community and also keeping out of other people‘s business. I never gave any landlord any problem whatsoever. I too have children that are grown. Even though I love them dearly, I do not understand how they can feel OK about this situation and the fact that I’ve always been there for them and have told them repeatedly when I had my apartment on my house at one time before I decided to downsize into an apartment, that I would always be there for them, and they had a place to be if they ran into a problem. And yet I’m in my car for over a year it appears that they’re OK with that. Though I do not believe that children have an obligation to take care of their parents, this situation seems to fly in the face of everything my children would ever talk by myself or by our religious community/church and it’s teaching about caring for your family. That is what it is. The only thing I can say is that every day I am so grateful that I have my car. I watch people every day who don’t even have that. I try and I try, like you do, to figure out how to work this out so that I have a roof over my head in the form of an apartment home, and I can’t find a way. Jobs are getting harder to come by to suck on that income and yet I make a good income when my client can pay, but that is unstable in the current economy. I feel for you so very much. I too have to sleep in the driver seat every night. Over the course of the year I have finally figured out how to have hot food occasionally, but even food is getting to be Difficult because the money isn’t there regularly and when you’re in your car, you also have to cost of gas that can be very pricey at times when you have to move around all the time. Even to rent a room in someone’s home that they’re trying to make additional income with, is going for over $1000 a month Where I’m living and that is with no private bathroom and it’s just a 10 x 8 or 10 x 10 room. And my concern on that is always what if they decide they just don’t wanna rent the room anymore and I’m back to where I started. I do not understand things today in the world… It’s not how I grew up. I don’t know the answer. But I hold on very tightly to the fact that God in Jesus love me and they’re aware of me and you and they’ve got a plan and they’ve got a need for us being right where we are right now. And so I try to focus on how to make my life as good as I can and help other people that are suffering if all it is is a smile from me. I often think about Jesus‘s time on the Earth and the similarities between now and back then and sometimes I feel like one of the lepers. I hate that feeling just like I hate the feeling when I watch people driving ID going to their home where it’s warm and they have a bed and someone loves them most likely. I don’t know their story and it could be as bad as mine or yours, but my head always thinks of what they do have that they probably don’t even realize how valuable it is. Sweetheart, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. But I believe with my whole heart that one day we’re both gonna get home in Jesus is gonna look at us and say “ good and faithful servant.“ I will be thinking about you and I hope you’ll think about me in someday. we’ll see each other face-to-face and smile smile of knowing we are finally home that no one can take away from us.
I can sadly relate to what you said about your kids my situation is the same. Due to getting hurt at work my journey started in 2018 I went from an SUV to a minivan with my dog. I'm now a disabled senior. This journey is not for the faint at heart it takes a lot of strength and faith in God! Our country is a mess but I believe it will get better. Sending out prayers for all of us.🙏
Rare diamonds are put under pressure and pure gold goes through the fire so my sister know that he is refining you through this season so please stay strong and keep your faith up.
I’m just turning 53 and I want to stay in my pickup truck and camp on our land but my husband told me to wait so since we been truck drivers for going on 5 years for him 3&1/2 years for me we been living in the rig on the road so I’m just grateful to have a place to stay because many doesn’t even have a vehicle to use like some of us.
@@InBetweenBlessings remember he puts nothing on us that we can’t handle and give thanks for what we have. You was chosen to walk this walk for a reason and although you may not know why just remember how..His will done through you will get you through this time. Many are not strong enough to live this way with grace and a positive attitude, even I tell my mother and children I choose to live this way and leave the work force to follow the father and share with others what he wants me too and be free to move at a moment notice. I’m blessed to have a husband and family that understands that so sis keep going push through and give him thanks and above all enjoy this wonderful opportunity, we’re all here with you. You got this! 🙂
I am going to keep you in prayer my sister. Although I haven't been in your exact situation, I do know the feelings that you are expressing right now. It's exhausting trying to just figure out ”how". Doors are going to open for you, I know it. The hard part is not knowing when, and I get that.
Setup a social media page for your braiding only. Show photos if your work and advertise that you will travel to the client. You can braid on the weekends.
@@InBetweenBlessings A shelter would be a very good start a women's shelter will give you a bed! Also, shelters usually have great resources to assist you in housing! Move-in deposit etc. lots of resources available. Counseling, therapy or else you're going to break harder! There are people with knowledge to help! God means for us to utilize them 🙏🏾
@@InBetweenBlessings Just in case you’re rather a Christian faith based counselor. I just wanted to inform you that they do exist along with the secular ones.
where are you? what city? and would you consider doing UBER passenger instead of instacart? i feel you would do better with driving instead of delivery.@@InBetweenBlessings
@southbaychris survival mode is when you produce your best work. This woman is smart! She doesn't mention her name. This pretty ladies' testimony is powerful. Can't wait to see how she'll be blessed for enduring and not compromising her integrity like Job.
I hear you sis! it’s so hard in this economy. It’s just hard period! I sympathize with you. I hope you find a way out… no one should have to live in their car, but I understand that was your only option you got this keep your faith thank you so much for sharing❤
Prayers going up for you! I admire your resilience! This too shall pass. I was in a similar situation for 2 years. I'm thankful for the lessons I learned through the experience. I'm now, on the other side and have learned a sense of gratitude that I never had before. You WILL come out on the other side of this better. God WILL answer your prayers...in His perfect timing. My heart hurts, listening to your frustration and exhaustion. I relate to the feeling...I remember that exact feeling. He WILL bring you through this storm. 🙏❤️
@InBetweenBlessings Only by His grace! I had lessons to learn, only He could teach. You're on a similar path. I believe we learn our purpose(s), through adversities we face and He helps us overcome.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, it truly resonates with me. I have come across many families in the same situation and some of them have two incomes and still don't make 3x's the rent amounts. I am praying that God does a speedy work in your life for a really nice, permanent and safe home.
Thank you for making these videos I don't know how they ended up on my feed but I am currently living in my truck in Detroit and I know he's speaking to me through you ❤
The frustration and survival is definitely heavy. We've been on this rough journey for 3 years trying until Im now tired. Youre not alone as there are more and more people resorting to living in their cars both by choice and not. The economy is not kind. So far my daughter and I have been buffering the uncomfortability by doing housesits. It helps but I miss stability. I hope it gets better very soon for all of us❤
Not much longer my Sister, if the Lord brought me out He is going to do the same for you . Thank you for sharing, although this transition is not easy, you are helping so many to keep going no matter what the circumstances may be 💕🎀🌸
I feel your pain sister..you are in a transition to a better life and when you finally transition, you will become a strong beautiful woman. Bless your heart 💯
I pray by the time you see this message you will be safe. I pray 🙏 for all good things for you. Can you stay with your daughter until you find a place. God don't put no more on us than we can bare. Praying for you sweetie
I just happened to see your video on my feed. I have much respect for your courage and your determination. I wish you luck and I do believe you're going to come out of this fine. Just keep up the faith.
Keep trying different roommates until you find one that works out well. And maybe an extended stay hotel for a week at a time. This is a safe environment. Even share one with a roommate. Praying for you, and know things will work out.
I came across your video, and I truly believe it wasn’t by chance, but by fate. I don’t often comment, but something about your words resonated with me deeply. I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone in your experience. My husband and I have experienced living in our car twice over the past 20 years due to the unpredictable nature of owning a business. Each time, it was for about a year and a half, but we always knew it was temporary because we refused to stay down with God by our side. There’s a reason your video showed up in my feed tonight. We want to help, even if it’s just by surrounding you with love and support. You are not alone. I also believe there may be options available to you. I’d love to connect and share our experience, and how we made it through.Sending you strength and support. ❤
You have beautiful faith i honor you and i will pray for you so much..i had everything i lost everything.Now i what i need live simply.We are much stronger with gods help then we think !! Keep believing! Dont give up ever.
You are truly a spirituality, mentally and mentally strong Queen ❤🙏🏾. You blessings is on the way and it will happen as your heart desires in JESUS NAME AMEN!!!
Hello there. I was just scrolling and ran across your channel. Try not to get discourage. Life is hard sometimes. This is just temporary. You'll probably wondering how long that you have to deal with this situation. I'm praying that God will open a door some way that you will be led to the right people or an organization for help. I know its stressful. I'm glad that you know to turn to God for counsel in your situation. I hope 2025 will be a better year for you. I pray that God will keep you safe. From Texas 🌹🙏🥰
My sister, I am sure times are hard for you. I want to encourage you to thank God even when things do not go well. Dont wait till you get to emotional exhaustion. Im praying for you sister. Your Tennessee sis.
Thank you for sharing you.. I'm currently going through exactly what you just disclosed.. My frustration is out the roof- so much so that I was calling on father God to bring me home... My body is in so much pain and it's starting to get cold here in, Texas. Idk what to do anymore.
Ohhh no, sorry to hear you are going through this and feeling that way.
I will say I do feel better. That day was just an emotional day for me. I thank God for not staying stuck there.
Please let the community here know how you can be helped. I received a wealth of great suggestions. I’m pretty sure someone can/will see your message and be just as kind to you as they have to me. I’m going to pin your message.
Keep staying in touch. We all need to be surrounded by good, kind, and safe people. If not for ourselves, do it for God. ☺️🙏🏽
I am also homeless in TX. Living in my car. Repo man found me in Freeport the other day. Let me go. But I am officially on the ‘run’. Working FT also. So depressed. So over it.
@@InBetweenBlessings Thank you, I appreciate that.
@SayaddinaBeneGesserit What part of, TX are you in?
@InBetweenBlessings Maybe you can spend a night at an affordable hotel now and then. Just to treat yourself to a bed once in a while.
Blessings to you. I lived in my car for 49 days and I was about 52 years old. Anyway, what I learned is this... I stopped saying, today is the last day in my car...instead everyday I would ask, God can I get out of this situation today? But hear this, about a week later my phone rang and it was a job offer in another town. I already had a job and I had never applied for the job that was calling. The lady said to me, I heard about you through a friend and I desperately need a cleaning contractor. I'm shocked.😱 I told her that I would have to find somewhere to live, she said, no you won't, an apartment comes with the job. That was in 2015 and I'm still here. So I said that to say this. Ask God because then he knows that you are truly depending on him. I love you and I'm praying with you.
Looks like Good showed up for you as he will do for all of his children who knows and love him. Keep Him close to you!
Such a wonderful testimony. Thank you for sharing ☺️🙏🏽
That is so interesting & god listened to you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 congratulations!!
@@lolitarouge *God always listens to us the problem is that people get in God's way and want to tell God how to "fulfill the prayer." LOL The most difficult part is "letting go and letting God." The quicker we can do that the faster our prayers are answered. In addition, we can't go by appearances. We have to work through faith* 🙏
I love that and needed to heat that. Changing the language to depend on God 🙌🏾
I was homeless back in 2013 ...I kept believing things would get better everyday for 3 months n they did get better over 10 years later...I'm married now, my wife n I just build are brand new home...God is going bless u so big ...Mark my words❤
Such a great testimony. Thank you for sharing. ☺️🙏🏽
Amen 🙌🙏
❤
You’re already way, way ahead of the game just by not being addicted to drugs or alcohol. Everything will work out in time. I’ll say a prayer for you.
Amen
God please keep her safe and give her some peace and strength 🙏
Wow, you helped all of your coworkers get a raise!
I can barely pay my mortgage!!. Food is outrageous. Cost of living has trippled. I feel just like you. Most are inches away from being homeless. 😢😢 Praying for a miracle for you, and all of us. It's now 65% of the US that is barely getting by. Oh Lord, please answer your daughters prayers. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖
I am watching you from Kenya in East Africa. Am so sorry for your situation. May God bring a solution for you and everyone else. Life is tough in America.
Thank you from Kenya ☺️🙏🏽
I have been sleeping out of my car since March 2023 & it is terrible 😞 Hang in there. Praying for you!
Everyone, give this video a like 👍 to help her channel.
Hello. Your video popped up in my feed and I decided to watch as myself and my sister had been homeless living in my car 6 months over the last brutal winter (-15 below) in the Chicago suburban area.
I have a Hyundai, a compact car, but my sister managed to create a living room of the front seats and adjustable bedroom/office of the passenger and back seats. The trunk was well organized for small but ample changes of clothing, food, water, and toiletries. Oh, and did I mention we had a pet at the time as well? The car ran 24/7 with heat continuously going due to the season, and we had a structured schedule that kept us occupied with routines and things to do every day which even included movie nights on the phone and other free recreations.
We are both seniors in our mid 60's with disabilities so we also joined the gym to make the best of taking care of our health, fitness, and hygiene. I was the only one with a small source of disability income until my sister was able to start her retirement income earlier than planned.
During the spring, we were able to get into a small one bedroom apartment in a fairly nice location (not very extravagant but reasonable rent) that didn't require the crazy 3 month income amount - so I know what you mean there.
Looking back now, I can't recall feeling like we suffered - even so much as I know we did, but we just don't see it. For that matter, the only utility we now pay is electric - gas and water are provided!! When we reflect back, we see all the Blessings throughout this journey. It's not easy, by any means! Feeling trapped and frustrated is definitely a reality that comes during a struggle like this.
I remember one night we spent at a gas station and feeling down. There was a young girl there, she looked to be in her early 20's. She sat against a wall sleeping on the ground in 20 degree weather. How could I keep feeling bad for myself/us!?
Through it all, even in times of fear, I trust GOD
If it's ok with you, I'd like to encourage you to continue to stay strong as you will be Blessed with Spiritual and Human strength beyond measure for this is only temporary. I know it's hard, it's even wearing your body. We had back and leg discomforts until we became more physically active - especially in the gym. We've even lost weight and keeping good eating habits that we began to follow during that time. In time, the amount of your income from work will be the least of your worries because FAITH will bring you through and you'll see the richness you've had all along.
As it pertains to safety and privacy, please consider having your windows tinted. It was the one thing we didn't have that I still intend to do as a "just in case."
Oooooh, and last but not least:
We strongly thought to invest in an RV at one point as well - but so happy we didn't!!!
They are a lot to maintain - more than you hear about from influencers.
Structures, fixtures, general items bouncing or breaking while in motion
Cost of keeping it fueled - type of fuel
Keeping electricals functioning - battery power when RV not running/solar power on non sunny days
Restricted from certain roads depending on classification - and in some cases time of day or night
Parking restrictions - many places that allowed 24hr parking have changed
Insurance coverage
Tanks - water tanks, dump tanks and where you can refill or dump
Cleaning - smell from bathroom waste, smell from food waste
Leveling - more important than people realize
Lack of stealth
This isn't to discourage you, but to give you some insight to why we decided against an RV or conversion van.
We have concluded that we would live out of a car or SUV if we ever faced this circumstance again.
We hope the best to you!
Oh wow, thank you for sharing your story. Also a story of hope. I’m happy you and your sister had each other and were able to make it through. ☺️🙏🏽
I know a young couple in their 20s living in their car through the winter with the car running heat through the night but they had the windows up. They were both found dead because of a small leak of carbon monoxide that was coming into the car. Apparently if it's a really small leak you can't smell it and it is known as a silent killer while your in a deep sleep. I would recommend always leaving all windows cracked.
@@MichaelCamacho-l9g those carbon monoxide leaks took a lot of people out over the years
I disagree with your RV or conversion van comments, as you said you never had one, so how do you know? the trick is to don't use the tanks, so you don't need to dump the tanks that much, same with the water don't use unless you have too, I kept about 3 to 4 cases of bottle water in my RV, Oh! and you can find one of those cheap hotels😬 to stay at for 2 or 3 night😏
@@MichaelCamacho-l9g Yes. Unfortunately, these are those things that you learn while confronted with circumstances. We had the car fully inspected in preparation for the winter since we knew what we were facing, which is also when we learned to leave the windows slightly opened. Very sorry to hear about this young couple.
You are sharing what so many people are dealing with. Thank you. I’m looking forward to seeing your new blessing. It’s heading your way. 🙏🏾
Praying for you Sis! Many people are a paycheck away from homelessness. 😢
This comment right here is so true on many levels. Thank you. My coworker calls it the “Working Poor.”
So so true
Praying for her too. For women being homeless is pure torture. And usually there isn't enough room to live especially in a car. I watched videos where they took mini vans and vans and trucks and turned them into campers. Something to consider. We live in government housing in this town where we live currently and it's been our home for over 10 years but to be honest there isn't a lot here and so many homeless and so many hating on those people which is really horrible. I hope these people on the streets and in vehicles can get up and out from being trapped/stuck. I don't have a van anymore because the transmission went out and I had to scrap it/auction people came and got it. I cried like a baby because we needed it to move, for shopping especially groceries. This past 1.5 years have been better but also a serious adjustment having to learn to ride the bus, I bike mostly and we walk. Daughter is 17 and works and she finally lucked up and rides with friends but many times she has to Uber and Lyft and many times they cancel, don't show up or leave early. The bus system here is constantly having buses go down as well and there have been times we had to walk or were stuck until we could call them to come get us or ask them what to do. We had like 7 buses or so I think but the past few years since C19 they lowered it down to 4 buses and built a garage for the buses and now that money should have been put back into the mini vans/buses themselves. Katz is good here but many times down or running late. It's been alot to deal with being physically disabled plus the moving here by ourselves which was hard and both of us were injured. I keep hoping and praying we can get another car but honestly I am 53 and feeling lost and stuck myself in life. I had to learn to take it a day at a time and try not to dwell on the bad stuff and find other ways to adjust. I have done well and so has my daughter but its still very hard trying to shop, do laundry and we have to stay in town or call the TennCare van for appointments. Sending hugs, love and respect to this lady. Being homeless is the worst and I have been there more than once. May she be blessed and so may everyone else who is struggling.
There are shelters for women and children, if available and sometimes some valuable resources! Also, take a a motel respid to be comfortable! Reach out to community resources.
I agree
Thank you for sharing your message. People who have a roof over their head, food in their stomach and a job that pays their bills sometimes don’t realize how blessed they are. Keep your head up, I’ll be rooting for you and your success. ❤
All it takes is one incident to bring everything crumbling down. A sickness a car accident get fired or laid off. Your job shuts its door etc. So those people better be thankful because it could happen at anytime
Everything is expensive right now. A-lot of people are struggling. Be faithful.
Amen 🙌🙏
Sleep at airport parking its pretty quiet besides the planes but so relaxing God Bless you
I agree. I work at airport and I've seen alot of ppl there sleeping, although some must have missed their flight. Also, I have a friend who sleeps in in her car at the hospital ER parking lot.
@@chasmaserati6968 thank you for reminding me🦋
Let me know what airport u Kan get in 4 free?
@tanyabright2299 Hospital parking lots are nice too
@garystragar2490 I don't think any airport offers free parking
I lived in my car then progressed to an office because I could atleast have a pull out sofa/futon, my own microwave and mini refrigerator ($415) a month plus had a bathroom. I felt safer and warmer but still paranoid.
Now I’m in my own place have my twins now and have saved enough to move us all abroad.
It’s just God taking you back a few steps to propel you to prosperity
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing ☺️🙏🏽
How do you plan on making income living abroad?
This video was a blessing to me. I've been living in my car for a week. It's getting better.
@@Doritheexplori Oh wow. ☺️🙏🏽
I hope your situation gets better soon and for all of us. Been on this ride for 3 years. It's rough, but I've been doing house sitting to help buffer the uncomfortablity.
Keep your faith, God will bring you out of your situation, I was once homeless, I had two children, I prayed, I live with someone I throught was a friend save money and agreed to give her a certain amount,got a apartment in a poverty stricken area, got beds first after paying that off, I got a table etc. God is good, I went through this again I tried marriage it didn't work now, I got to start over again but each time I was blessed with a better quality of life.because I was thankful for the little blessings, God continue to bless me more I never stop praying. God is watching all of us. You work there must be someone that you can give a few dollars, while you get yourself together in Three to six month you can also help with cooking, cleaning if they will let you live with them for a fews dollars, While you save money . God does work through people❤. While living with people I know it's not easy, it takes patience, flexibility, humbleness ,mental strength, prayer and God; and keeping your mind on getting out of this situation. May God bless you
@@tdigitalgroupproductions230 um...huh?
Never thought of it that way. I’m not sure if that’s entirely the case but if so that’s is amazing… ☺️
Your truth is shared by many of us so stay strong. I was a Software Engineer at NASA in Maryland and because of health issues lost my house, job and found out where all the nearby food pantries were, but not my car which I to enjoyed as my address :-). The fact that you have a job is a blessing indeed !! Have you considered just renting a room instead of an apartment?
Yes .Hiring a single room somewhere is the secret.
How u tried to find a room, put a notice up in your church seeking a room to rent , a senior woman make consider renting you a room in her home, you seem like a nice trustworthy lady.🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
I was going Ask why she is not networking with pastor and so on.
True statement it's easy and lots of work but there are other options even long term hotel rental especially if you have income coming in.
These are great suggestions
@@rebeprice4400it's not always safe😊
Try house sitting for pay
Sis, go to social services and let the system help you with housing. God knows your heart. Your situation is heartbreaking, and I pray you find housing sooner rather than later. I commend you for starting your UA-cam channelthat’s a beautiful thing! I need to do the same because I feel called to be more active on social media as well. Even in your position, you’re inspiring others. God bless you for striving to be honest in a dishonest world.
You
. Sometimes, we have to play the game to make it in a falling world.
1 Sam 21:12-15..David did what was needed for a moment. In the moment, he played crazy to survive.
Thank you for this. And I look forward to hearing about your channel. No more secret agents. ☺️🙏🏽
You should get a CNA licence. You'll ALWAYS have a job. Always work. Best part is you can work crazy overtime. Hospitals are best because they are 12hr shifts. Grind - work 5 days 60hrs/wk. Yes it's gross but it's fast survival money. Like you'll get hired within 1wk. After you get 6mth experience you'll get hired same day of looking.
You can do it. Then go down to 3-4 days to maintain. You can get a CNA licence in 3 days in some places. Pay is like $20+/hr. Good luck
BEST ADVICE
No not the best advice. On surface this advice seems good but, she has to do more. LVN, or RN. CNA work is taxing on the body. Look at the long term. CNA is a short term solution. Do not rent an apartment. In-home-live in and go to school. Toyota and Honda only = dependable car.
@MsJ.TeacherToTech So your solution is for her to commit to a 1yr+ program & $10k-$50k debt or a 3 year journey & $60k-$100k debt to address her IMMEDIATE problem now? Vs 3day-2wk program $500+ CNA program???
CNA is a start and could instantly change her circumstances. You're right it is tough on the body but manageable until she figures out her next move.
Yes dear good advice
What is the SOLUTION;!👍
I totally resonate with so much of what you are saying in your videos and my heart truly goes out to you. I currently live with my grandmother and going through a divorce, life is certainly a struggle but God has and is blessing me through the process. I also have gifts in many areas of design and I also sell faith-based digital products on Etsy which has truly been a blessing. I don't know what city you live in, but you would be more than welcome to park in our driveway anytime, and I'm sure we could find a way to help somehow and even if you don't live in the area. Stay strong, praying for you....God bless.
You have to change not something
Thank you for your kindness and for sharing a bit of your story. Very kind of you. And yes, God is so amazing like that. ☺️🙏🏽
@@Hometeam683 Thank you. ☺️🙏🏽
You appear to be a Good Woman! God has you! It will work out, God has something good for you! Hold on my sister!!
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
I agree with previous comments. Consider upgrading your vehicle for a van, rather than a camper so you can live stealthily. There are so many video tutorials on how to "furnish" a van for little $$. A van would allow you more space to spread out & would give you a space to cook with a small bottled gas camping stove. You don't need plumbing to have a washbasin, a simple bowl and bottled water can suffice, water can be disposed off out of the van. You can have a small camping toilet, for those nightly emergencies, you can use solar lights and battery lights. You can purchase a small camping fridge/freezer. Most importantly, you will be independent and saving $$. You could "treat" yourself to renting a cheap room for a night or two maybe once a month, to give you a break & something to look forward to.
Your situation is not ideal as far as the norms we have been conditioned to believe in, but instead of limiting your options to the "norm" of renting an apartment or a house, maybe consider other "norms" that will benefit you better in the long term?
Having a space you can enjoy decorating, planning and fitting out could be cathartic, give you a purpose and something to keep your mind busy and positive. Watching others on UA-cam highlighting real solutions to real van life problems, using your home on wheels to your advantage to find free items left outside homes that you can put to good use etc.
The reality is, that there is a whole new generation of young people, middle aged people and seniors, all over the world, in the UK, in Europe, in the US, whose only option for living independently is van living. However, in this age of solar power and so many amazing camp living options, people are discovering that apart from the lack of space, living in a van does not mean having to go without heat, lights, water, toilets, cooking, etc. Instead of working to pay bills and rent and unable to afford to enjoy life, people are choosing to accept the limited space and work to LIVE life instead. Travelling in their "home" when they are not working, saving $$ from not paying extortionate rent costs and utility bills. Changing one's mindset, can sometimes be the difference between feeling low and miserable or feeling liberated and free from the ties of slum landlords and the stress of affording the bills.
AND just think about all those $$$ you will save!! Make a home on wheels that you can be proud of, a home that people will envy, a home you enjoy spending time in.
I just Sub'd, I'm looking froward to watching your channel grow, good luck.
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽

It makes no sense that these landlords want people to 3 times the amount of the rent. This system is designed to keep people in their current positions. You are in my prayers. Things will change but it may take time. Stay strong Sis! ❤❤❤
Very much agree. Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
I came across your video in my feeds. I am 68 years old and having going through some struggles throughout life. Let me tell you, when you have a personal relationship with God and learn to recoginze HIS guidance and you LISTEN then WALK IN FAITH. Its a wonderful feeling. There's no IF, ANDS or BUTS when you are receiving his guidance. Its is a for sure thing, peaceful and loving.
Thanks for sharing!! ☺️🙏🏽
Father God, l ask that you bless your faithful child with all that she needs & more! She deserves it! You know it, l know it, you know that l know it. Amen

A beautiful prayer. Thank you. ☺️🙏🏽
@@5664788interesting that that’s where you heart and mind goes. ☺️🙏🏽
I know you mean well but none of us deserve anything from God except condemnation and separation because of Adam's legacy. Except for unmerited grace, through Christ, everything from God is a gift, not something you earned. If you don't know that then you, by default, devalue His awesome mercy and grace. I don't believe you really want to do that.
@@vetgirl71 Greetings. I appreciate your responding to my post.
At no point in my post did I judge her heart or motives. It is in fact a caring and loving gesture to tell the truth or to encourage someone to question their own motives if you, as a friend or neighbor, have a perspective you believe they don't have. If you're standing in the middle of oncoming traffic and someone says "I think it's possible that you've made a mistake in choosing where to stand." is that unloving? If there's a car coming and you yell at them to move... is that being disrespectful? To another bystander who doesn't see what you see, it could well look disrespectful, unkind and rude but in reality be something to save someone's life.
You made reference to my possibly being a "Christian". Do you know about the scriptures that say if you find your brother/sister on a wrong path that you should lovingly and respectfully correct them? It's up to them whether they heed your advice or not. Same with this young lady. I was completely respectful in my comment. Do you think Jesus was being un-Christ-like when He rebuked Peter? How about when Paul rebuked Peter for being a hypocrite?
In all honesty, I have a feeling that this young lady has fallen victim to the over--feminized notion that at no point should she embrace constructive criticism, conviction, rebuke or correction and that all she should receive is "God bless you baby,, It'll be alright, God's got you, be strong... so on and so forth, a bunch of flowery, psuedo-pious platitudes to make her feel good while she's going down a path that isn't supported by any example of Spirit-led women in scripture.
I've lived long enough to have seen many young women make decisions they thought were good, in the sincerity of their heart, but they were misled and suffered needlessly, except to learn a lesson, if they learned. Blessings to YOU! I pray that you won't be one of those young ladies.
Keep your head up queen. I was in the same situation. I purchased an acre of land in Mississippi very inexpensive and I purchased a small shed converted it into a tiny home. I feel so much better.
This is just a season, sis. God is coming through for you, keep the faith.
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
@InBetweenBlessings You're looking at things all around you wanna get a apartment? What about this trading your vehicle in for van or bigger vehicle
having a car is a blessing. That so many people dont have.. But I kknow its frustrating.. Keep pushing and have faith.. Its so horrible this country..
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
I pray God grants you peace and comfort sis ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey new subbie here. So glad you shared. I felt every single word you spoke. Praying for your miraculous turnaround and breakthrough 🙏🏾
Please don't make the mistake of sharing with your co-workers about your situation. Also don't share about starting a You tube page. Since you paying a car note- think about switching to a minivan. Will give you room to stretch out and be stealth.
Thank you. My coworkers don’t know anything personal, only surface level questions. ☺️🙏🏽
Minivan or rv instead
Go with a van ... It does give you more room and it's much easier to maintain. I understand you wholeheartedly. I was displaced for about a year. I was a plus size woman with a job, but I was not making enough money to get an apartment. Apartment. Especially with the criteria saying that you have to make three times the rent plus have first and last month's rent and a deposit which is ridiculous. I had to live with people as well and slept in my car a couple of nights. But I can assure you it's a lesson that you need to learn through all of this and when God blessed me, he blessed me abundantly. I was able to get a new job, a new place as well as a new car all at the same time. Stay diligently in prayer and walk the path that God has for you. He does answer prayers. Walk by faith and not by sight and you will see. Be blessed and always be a blessing
Minivan all the way: it’s roomier but still completely stealthy.
This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and for the encouragement. ☺️🙏🏽
❤ here's something that you can try to help with your sleeping arrangement
Or relaxation in the car. #1. Slide the driver seat and the front passenger seat forward towards the dashboard.
#2 then take the headrest off of the top of the front passenger seat.
#3 now, let the front passenger seat, lay back on to the back seat behind it.
#4 now get into the back of the car behind the driver seat.
#5 if need be till the back of the driver, seat forward to give you room to raise your legs over on to the passenger seat that is now laying down.
#6 get creative use pillows, folded clothes. Or whatever else it takes to make your life comfortable. I hope this helps.
Thank you for taking the time to share this. ☺️🙏🏽

I hear you… I’m in the same position. I’ve worked in the legal field for over 30 years and still do and yet I don’t make enough money to afford the rent at triple income to the rent amount. I’ve been in my car for over a year now in the horrific heat of the summer and the pretty cold temperatures in the winter. I find myself crying a lot and talking to God a lot and being confused because I don’t understand. Prior to my rent becoming more than I could handle anymore because they kept raising it for a 385 square-foot apartment, I had never been late on a payment and had been a good tenant supporting my community and also keeping out of other people‘s business. I never gave any landlord any problem whatsoever. I too have children that are grown. Even though I love them dearly, I do not understand how they can feel OK about this situation and the fact that I’ve always been there for them and have told them repeatedly when I had my apartment on my house at one time before I decided to downsize into an apartment, that I would always be there for them, and they had a place to be if they ran into a problem. And yet I’m in my car for over a year it appears that they’re OK with that. Though I do not believe that children have an obligation to take care of their parents, this situation seems to fly in the face of everything my children would ever talk by myself or by our religious community/church and it’s teaching about caring for your family. That is what it is. The only thing I can say is that every day I am so grateful that I have my car. I watch people every day who don’t even have that. I try and I try, like you do, to figure out how to work this out so that I have a roof over my head in the form of an apartment home, and I can’t find a way. Jobs are getting harder to come by to suck on that income and yet I make a good income when my client can pay, but that is unstable in the current economy. I feel for you so very much. I too have to sleep in the driver seat every night. Over the course of the year I have finally figured out how to have hot food occasionally, but even food is getting to be Difficult because the money isn’t there regularly and when you’re in your car, you also have to cost of gas that can be very pricey at times when you have to move around all the time. Even to rent a room in someone’s home that they’re trying to make additional income with, is going for over $1000 a month Where I’m living and that is with no private bathroom and it’s just a 10 x 8 or 10 x 10 room. And my concern on that is always what if they decide they just don’t wanna rent the room anymore and I’m back to where I started. I do not understand things today in the world… It’s not how I grew up. I don’t know the answer. But I hold on very tightly to the fact that God in Jesus love me and they’re aware of me and you and they’ve got a plan and they’ve got a need for us being right where we are right now. And so I try to focus on how to make my life as good as I can and help other people that are suffering if all it is is a smile from me. I often think about Jesus‘s time on the Earth and the similarities between now and back then and sometimes I feel like one of the lepers. I hate that feeling just like I hate the feeling when I watch people driving ID going to their home where it’s warm and they have a bed and someone loves them most likely. I don’t know their story and it could be as bad as mine or yours, but my head always thinks of what they do have that they probably don’t even realize how valuable it is. Sweetheart, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. But I believe with my whole heart that one day we’re both gonna get home in Jesus is gonna look at us and say “ good and faithful servant.“ I will be thinking about you and I hope you’ll think about me in someday. we’ll see each other face-to-face and smile smile of knowing we are finally home that no one can take away from us.
I can sadly relate to what you said about your kids my situation is the same. Due to getting hurt at work my journey started in 2018 I went from an SUV to a minivan with my dog. I'm now a disabled senior. This journey is not for the faint at heart it takes a lot of strength and faith in God! Our country is a mess but I believe it will get better. Sending out prayers for all of us.🙏
Rare diamonds are put under pressure and pure gold goes through the fire so my sister know that he is refining you through this season so please stay strong and keep your faith up.
I’m just turning 53 and I want to stay in my pickup truck and camp on our land but my husband told me to wait so since we been truck drivers for going on 5 years for him 3&1/2 years for me we been living in the rig on the road so I’m just grateful to have a place to stay because many doesn’t even have a vehicle to use like some of us.
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
@@InBetweenBlessings you’re welcome and thank you for sharing your journey with us, very inspiring.
@@feliciajohnson3196 Very true. Thank you for sharing ☺️🙏🏽
@@InBetweenBlessings remember he puts nothing on us that we can’t handle and give thanks for what we have. You was chosen to walk this walk for a reason and although you may not know why just remember how..His will done through you will get you through this time. Many are not strong enough to live this way with grace and a positive attitude, even I tell my mother and children I choose to live this way and leave the work force to follow the father and share with others what he wants me too and be free to move at a moment notice. I’m blessed to have a husband and family that understands that so sis keep going push through and give him thanks and above all enjoy this wonderful opportunity, we’re all here with you. You got this! 🙂
Thanks!
@@damionzura2826 Thank you for your gift, very kind of you… ☺️🙏🏽
I am going to keep you in prayer my sister. Although I haven't been in your exact situation, I do know the feelings that you are expressing right now. It's exhausting trying to just figure out ”how". Doors are going to open for you, I know it. The hard part is not knowing when, and I get that.
Setup a social media page for your braiding only. Show photos if your work and advertise that you will travel to the client.
You can braid on the weekends.
Thank you 😊 🙏🏽
@@InBetweenBlessings A shelter would be a very good start a women's shelter will give you a bed! Also, shelters usually have great resources to assist you in housing! Move-in deposit etc. lots of resources available. Counseling, therapy or else you're going to break harder! There are people with knowledge to help! God means for us to utilize them 🙏🏾
@@Jusme-1962 Thank you ☺️🙏🏽

Just in case you’re rather a Christian faith based counselor. I just wanted to inform you that they do exist along with the secular ones.
where are you? what city? and would you consider doing UBER passenger instead of instacart? i feel you would do better with driving instead of delivery.@@InBetweenBlessings
Feeling it here in Cali. Sending you positive vibes your way!!
❤️🙏🏽 GOD keep your hands on this beautiful soul!!!
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
I wish you all the best lady. You seem like a nice lady. Things WILL get better. I will pray for you.
May God bless you with abundance. May He open up the windows of Heaven and pour out a blessing that you will not have room enough to receive.
Amen. ☺️🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing and for the encouragement 🙏🏼 you are definitely in my prayers 🙏🏼
You can’t be in creative mode if you’re in survival mode
This is sooo good! Thank you! ☺️🙏🏽
A whole word.
@southbaychris survival mode is when you produce your best work. This woman is smart! She doesn't mention her name. This pretty ladies' testimony is powerful. Can't wait to see how she'll be blessed for enduring and not compromising her integrity like Job.
You are creative anytime all the time
Sending love and light
Truth . I actually needed to hear this .
I hear you sis! it’s so hard in this economy. It’s just hard period! I sympathize with you. I hope you find a way out… no one should have to live in their car, but I understand that was your only option you got this keep your faith thank you so much for sharing❤
Prayers going up for you! I admire your resilience! This too shall pass. I was in a similar situation for 2 years. I'm thankful for the lessons I learned through the experience. I'm now, on the other side and have learned a sense of gratitude that I never had before. You WILL come out on the other side of this better. God WILL answer your prayers...in His perfect timing. My heart hurts, listening to your frustration and exhaustion. I relate to the feeling...I remember that exact feeling. He WILL bring you through this storm. 🙏❤️
@@SheriFaluta-kk7hz Thank you for sharing. So happy for you to have made it through ☺️🙏🏽
@InBetweenBlessings Only by His grace! I had lessons to learn, only He could teach. You're on a similar path. I believe we learn our purpose(s), through adversities we face and He helps us overcome.
Watching from South Africa..God bless you my lady and keep the faith..remember nothing stays the same..change is coming.❤🎉😊
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, it truly resonates with me. I have come across many families in the same situation and some of them have two incomes and still don't make 3x's the rent amounts. I am praying that God does a speedy work in your life for a really nice, permanent and safe home.
You are very welcome and thank you for sharing and kindness. ☺️🙏🏽

The frustration and survival is definitely heavy. We've been on this rough journey for 3 years trying until Im now tired. Youre not alone as there are more and more people resorting to living in their cars both by choice and not. The economy is not kind. So far my daughter and I have been buffering the uncomfortability by doing housesits. It helps but I miss stability. I hope it gets better very soon for all of us❤
Oh wow, thank you for sharing. ☺️🙏🏽
Just keep the faith 🙏 my sister God will bless 🙌 you with a place very soon 🙏
God Bless You, I hope life gets better for you. Stay up

@@dyates6380 Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
Keep trying different roommates until you find one that works out well. And maybe an extended stay hotel for a week at a time. This is a safe environment. Even share one with a roommate. Praying for you, and know things will work out.
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
Yes I’ve stayed at extended stay many times and they will give you a discount if you stay for extended times ❤

Its your crucible. God is refining you. A Tennessee sister
My heart goes out to you, I’m praying for you everyday, our God is great he will pull you through this 🙏🏽💯🫶🏽
I came across your video, and I truly believe it wasn’t by chance, but by fate. I don’t often comment, but something about your words resonated with me deeply. I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone in your experience. My husband and I have experienced living in our car twice over the past 20 years due to the unpredictable nature of owning a business. Each time, it was for about a year and a half, but we always knew it was temporary because we refused to stay down with God by our side. There’s a reason your video showed up in my feed tonight. We want to help, even if it’s just by surrounding you with love and support. You are not alone. I also believe there may be options available to you. I’d love to connect and share our experience, and how we made it through.Sending you strength and support. ❤
This was very encouraging and kind. Thank you for sharing. ☺️🙏🏽
@InBetweenBlessings always. Did you serve any time in the military? If yes, there are programs that help you get into an apartment.

Hello there. I was just scrolling and ran across your channel. Try not to get discourage. Life is hard sometimes. This is just temporary. You'll probably wondering how long that you have to deal with this situation. I'm praying that God will open a door some way that you will be led to the right people or an organization for help. I know its stressful. I'm glad that you know to turn to God for counsel in your situation. I hope 2025 will be a better year for you. I pray that God will keep you safe. From Texas 🌹🙏🥰
