From Homeless in Florida to a New Life in Texas: How God Led Me Home

When Everything Fell Apart
In early 2025, my world came crashing down all at once. My husband and I were estranged and separated, my job closed its doors in February, and my apartment rent skyrocketed. With nowhere left to turn, I found myself homeless and completely broke.

A Leap of Faith on a Bus
In April 2025, God spoke clearly to my heart: Get on a bus, leave Florida, and go to Texas. He even directed me to a specific church. Stepping out in pure faith, I spent the very last of my money to buy a bus ticket with no idea how everything would work out.

Along the way, God was already arranging my steps. On the bus, I met a blind man who needed someone to stand up for him. After I stepped in to advocate for him, he turned around and helped me get to the exact church God had called me to.

17 Months of Healing and Restoration
When I arrived at that church, I met a pastor who happened to serve on the board of the Genesis Center North Texas. He brought me straight there, and what followed was 17 months in a domestic violence shelter and Christian discipleship program that changed my life forever.

For the very first time in my life, I had a true home. While at the center, I poured myself into healing and serving:

• I worked in the kitchen and volunteered at the onsite thrift store.
• I attended classes and received free Biblical counseling.
• Over time, God raised me up to become a leader and spiritual mentor for the other women walking through the program.

Miracles in the Details
God didn't just heal my heart—He restored the practical pieces of my life that felt impossible to fix. After 22 years of having a suspended driver's license, the Lord helped me get it completely restored. I worked hard, saved every dollar I could, and bought my own car.

Stepping Into a New Season
In October 2026, I officially graduated from the program, and on November 1, 2026, I stepped out into a brand-new chapter on my own. Today, as I job hunt and wait on God for my next steps, I have complete peace knowing that the same Lord who carried me out of Florida is already preparing what comes next. If you are in a season of waiting right now, hold on—God's faithfulness doesn't stop between chapters, and He is never late.
