I will keep walking in faith. Even though it’s difficult. I will praise Jesus even in my times of despair. These past years have been difficult on me. But with the Lord’s strength, I have persevered. I have two beautiful boys both are autistic. My husband passed away years ago. I’m all alone. I lost my job over declining the vaccine. LIKE MANY OTHERS! I declined due to my pre existing health conditions lupus and heart disease. I’ve been struggling to provide for myself and my children since losing my job from Forsyth hospital. I’m now waitressing, and I’m thankful, but I’m not making nearly enough to get by. Groceries are super expensive. Every month is a battle to not end up on the streets with my two children. I’m constantly in fear of losing my home. To even think about being on the streets with two young children is terrifying. But even as I face homelessness seemingly every month. I have faith, God will provide. With GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Faith over fear.
As a former parishioner of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a resident of NYC and a 1971 graduate of Cathedral HS I am glad I found this post. I have been on a spiritual journey these past few years, sort of a conversion. Thank you! It’s a small world. I no longer live in NYC but traveled much due to my military service and was privileged to attend the Mass of Pope John Paul ll in Guam. Jesus works in mysterious ways in my life. Feeling quite humble right now🙏☦️
