  • Maybe I was better off being homeless in Redding...

    Let me explain the title of my post.

    OK, so I found telecommuting work doing web and graphic design. Well I'm still working out the contract and payment on that. So that's good. But I have a feeling that I could be kicked out. Well if I end up homeless, there goes the work too, right?

    And it seems that my friendships here in Raleigh aren't going that great. I don't know. Maybe I've changed. Maybe my friends are finding me to be a totally different person than they knew two years ago, and they liked the person they knew two years ago.

    I can't really get anywhere without a car. Buses don't run out here, except for the JCATS (Johnston County Area Transit System) and you've got to call the business day before to get a ride from them. And Taxis definitely aren't going to be a cost-effective way of getting around. I looked at the rates. Not anything anyone in their right mind would do unless they have a lot of money.

    A lot of my friends in Redding were suggesting that I go back home. I did. And for some reason, it seems I'm in a worse situation than what I was in in Redding.

    I don't think my friends there intended for this to happen, but this is happening.

    So really, I'm not sure what to do.

    I would talk to someone at church to see if I could get some kind of help. However, I don't have a ride to church.

    I'm not saying I'm going back to Redding right now. I still need to give it a shot here in Raleigh, and hope I don't end up homeless. But I'm tempted to head back there sooner than I planned on it. And my friends told me that they'd rather see me go home than end up homeless there. Well I could be homeless here anyway. And the way things are going, I'm not sure it's better off to be homeless here than it is there.

    Somehow, I got myself in this mess. Somehow, I'm going to get out of it. Don't know how yet, but I'm going to get out of it.

    God is always ontime. We all go through battles in our lifes....."he" always comes out on top! Dig your face in the word and ask him for his direction with a job, living arrangements, etc. Truly we all are just a bunch of flesh without him.


    On another note....you have changed alot since I saw you two years ago. Life is costly and mine has had many challenges. (I'm determined to believe God is shaping me for another rough time in my life.) I feel like when I have hit "rock bottom" and are pressing in...God shows up and shows me him, in a fresh way. Hang in there Joey. Take moment by moment and dont worry about tomorrow.


    Hey, I was listening to "Earthsuit" today and thought about us driving to see them in concert...ahhh that was a cool concert
