For the past month I’ve been trying to save what life I have here in Myrtle Beach. Financially, I have hit rock bottom and unfortunately I wasn’t able to pay my rent. After informing the landlord, on June 14th., he served me eviction papers which gave me ten days to remove myself and kids from my home. Last Monday I spoke to him and pleaded with him to not go through with the eviction, but he informed me that he would not change his mind. He did, however, give me an option … come up with $1175.00 (June/July’s rent, plus court filing fees) or vacate by Sunday, July 1st. 

Well, I’ve exhausted all avenues possible to avoid having to leave. Agencies that can assist can’t help with the total amount … they too are strapped. My church hasn’t even contacted me. And I just don’t have enough funds coming in that I can put forth to saving my home. I am virtually helpless to do for myself. No matter how I might try and turn my financial situation around, time to do so isn’t on my side. Therefore, I have no choice but to accept what is coming. Hate it, but sometimes life just doesn’t work out the way we want it to.

Come Saturday I will be handing in my resignation to my boss and come late Sunday evening the kids and I will get in my car and drive off. As for my belongings, I will have to leave them behind which the landlord can sell to recoup what rent is owed.

As to where we will go, God only knows. I have put this whole issue before Him and it will be up to Him as to what will happen to us. Like I mentioned to a friend of mine, it will take a miracle to save my home. I guess this miracle is not for where I’m at, but for where I’ll end up. And I have to trust that He has my back.

In all my years I never dreamed that I would loose my possessions and become homeless. Honestly, I am scared shitless!

Until Tomorrow ...
