Homeless Homesteader

Hi,
Im new here. I had an account last year, signed up to respond to the guy who was starting a Christian Community in the Ozarks. At the time I had my own 4 acre homestead, plenty of tools, saws, generators, solar, water storage, a solid 4x4 truck, and hope.

Apparently I wasn't Christian enough, or maybe too old, or didn't have enough money. I'll never know, because after the first interview I had with them, I never heard from them again. The guy said a group of elders would be contacting me for a second interview, it never happened. oh well.

Well, I got lonely. My kids would never visit, my neighbors (few and far between as they were) were either on drugs or alcohol, or just not very pleasant to be around. They would only stop buy to gossip or if they needed something.

I had had enough, gave up the property and sold everything I could, even my truck. I took a big risk and moved to Texas to be close to my daughter and grandkids. I was renting a car and working for Lyft. Things were going pretty good when an elderly man pulled out of a side street and totalled my rental. After being strung along for weeks by insurance and Lyft, even though the wreck was not my fault, I received no compensation and my contract was terminated.My limited resources were exhausted, and I found myself on the street.

I don't do drugs, unless you count a little herb every now and then, same goes for alcohol, I can't tolerate drunks, but Im not opposed to an occasional fermented beverage with family or friends. And I'm not crazy, I love the Lord Jesus Christ, intensely. By the world's standards I guess that would qualify me as nuts though. My faith in Christ, and lack of faith in the institutions of this world have cost me most of my family and the few friends I had left. I did not play along with the Covid scam, but my son did, he was my best friend and now we haven't talked in years. My oldest best brother hung himself after a life of debilitating back pain and substance abuse just a few years ago. My oldest best sister died of breast cancer around the same time.

God says that the righteous will never be forsaken. Christ promised that he would never leave me. I know that these words are true. That doesn't make it easy. I pitched a tent under the freeway last night, I need water for drinking and to freshen up, but I'm afraid to leave my last few belongings here and walk the mile or so to the store.

Are there any real Christians out there? Seriously.
I don't need any money. My daughter signed me up for food stamps because she knew I would never do it on my own. I can feed myself. Im not a spring chicken, but I'm in good health for almost 59 years old.Im a hard worker, I built a 4 acre off grid homestead with nothing but hand tools, no heavy equipment at all, just shovels saws and a wheelbarrow.

I just need a place to pitch a tent. Fresh water and maybe a little shade. Someplace I can be useful. While I try to figure out what the Good Lord has planned for me next.

LOL, this phone gets shut off on the 7th. Not really sure why I'm posting here. God bless you all, thanks for listening

Never ever give up. You have life by the balls if you want to look at it that way. You are old enough to know how and young enough to still be able so pick a direction and do something, anything you want as long as it doesn't harm others. . .  

Take myself for example I have a homestead in Va my kids call most everyday and I can do most anything I want as long as it's free or cheap. I am disabled thanks to health issues but there's plenty to do money or not.

 I recently got an E-bike now I want to build one of my own design with a camper trailer to go see the USA... Nearly free motivation and no license tags insurance. Light weight flexible solar panels for power and the world or at least whatever continent you're on is yours to explore.

Praying for you to find safety, shelter, and good things in the near future, whether there in TX or elsewhere.

Dale, I sent you a Purple Moosage
