Where does blind faith take me?

Where does blind faith take me? I ask this question a lot because each day is a mystery. I wake to the generosity of friends because I am in a hotel and not on the streets. I begin the day in prayer and ask when will I be okay? I think the funny thing about asking that question is that I am okay, for this moment but I am constantly aware that the moment will end.

I have contacted several shelters in this town. I have met one person who was willing to defy her own shelter's rules to help me and today, unfortunately, she got caught. She was being very kind to a stranger in need. She used the tools and resources she had to help me. Her boss is upset because I am a single person and not a family. You see in this town there is an enormous flow of help for families and yet nothing for a single woman with two pets. So for people like me I have to rely on people who are willing to take a chance and help.

What is a person like me? I am highly employable with a great work ethic. I have impeccable references for both work and character. I am alone in a town. I am seeking employment and I feel hopeful. I have no money but that which has been given to me from friends who care about me. Each day I wait for the call of an employer willing to hire me. Once hired, it will take time before I can get into an apartment, at least a couple of paychecks. While I may have a job what do I do with my dogs?  I have no place for my dogs and the one person who was helping me is no longer able to help. You see, her organization helps to place dogs in Petsmart dog hotel during the time in which the owners are in transition. This also affords the dogs veterinary services and great care in a trusted environment.

Where does blind faith take me.... It takes me into a room in which there are no windows or doors. I am here with my pets and we wait for the next day, the next available moment of help from someone who is willing to care. Blind faith means I am blind and the control of each day is in God's hands.

Today, I have a place to stay. I am in school and attempting to complete weeks of homework, in advance. I am applying for jobs. I have food. I have my dogs. I am grateful.

Thank you for following along with me on this leg of my journey.
