Eviction was a blessing
Submitted by: Evelyn R.
Redondo Beach, CAI moved to California from MD, where I grew up in poverty. All 7 of us were in 2 rooms: no heat, no running water, no electricity. I moved here to escape the cold. I figured, be poor, but at least be warm. Since I came here, everything changed! Many miracles have happened.
I was in the process of being evicted with my three children, ages 3, 4, and 5. I decided to get the paper and find something, but all the places were too expensive for me. I called a prayer line, and asked them to pray with me. The lady said, “You MUST BE VERY SPECIFIC.” I said I needed a place under $500 a month, with a fenced yard, and near a school because I have no vehicle.
Two days later I saw an ad and called it. The place was exactly what I needed, but the landlord said I had too many children. I made jokes with him and made him laugh, and he liked me, but still said a firm “no”.
I went home and called the prayer line again. The lady said, “It’s ok, we will pray to put a burden on his heart.”
The next day I was cleaning and a knock on the door startled me. There he was: holding out a key. He said, “I had no sleep last night. The place is yours. Move in any time.”
I ended up living there for 7 years. We had a lot of fun times in that little half of a house. My daughters had no idea we were “poor” because I never mentioned it.
Many other amazing things happened… all of it because of believing and visualizing. I know the Secret is true. It really is a lot of fun!
