.From Eviction to a New Beginning: Our Journey of Faith, Trials, and Triumph

Welcome to Our Journey. Let’s Eat.

On January 5th, 2023, our lives changed in an instant. We were wrongly evicted from our home and forced to pack up everything we had. With nowhere to go, we moved in with our grandmother for three months. After that, our lives became a series of hotel stays—when we could afford them. When we couldn’t, we slept in our car or stayed in shelters.

A Season of Struggle

This was the hardest season we’ve ever faced. We were constantly moving from one place to another, never able to settle. Friends and family we thought we could depend on turned away. We had nothing—but we still had our faith.

Through every dark moment, we believed God was with us. He gave us strength, wisdom, and hope. Even when we weren’t always obedient, He never gave up on us. He guided us, gently but firmly, on the path we needed to walk.

A Message That Changed Everything

Fast forward to June 2024. We received a clear message from God: “If you don’t obey Me and give Me your time, you’ll stay in this situation for another two years.”

It was a wake-up call. We knew we had to make a choice. So we decided to fully trust God—and obey.

On June 7th, 2024, God revealed our next step: go to the shelter. We went, and though it wasn’t easy, it was the right decision. Almost immediately, doors began to open.

A Culinary Blessing

God placed the right people in our path. One of them told us about Providence Culinary Training School, located nearby. We enrolled—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

The environment was warm, welcoming, and filled with purpose. We felt like we were finally in a space where we could grow—not just professionally, but spiritually and emotionally.

Setbacks and Setups

But life wasn’t done testing us.

We moved back into a hotel, thinking things were turning around. But as we got comfortable, new challenges emerged. Our car was taken away, forcing us back to public transportation. Hotel prices soared. Once again, we returned to the shelter—but this time, it felt different.

We didn’t want to be there. But we knew this was just a temporary season. And we trusted that God was still working behind the scenes.

Breakthrough Blessings

Then came the breakthroughs. God blessed us with new job opportunities through Providence Culinary. A month later, He blessed us with a new car. And just three weeks after that, we received the biggest blessing of all: a new home.

We went from having nothing… to having everything we need. Not all at once, and not without pain—but through God’s timing and faithfulness.

The Journey Continues

We’re still walking this path. There are still challenges. But we know one thing for sure: God has never left our side.

This blog is just the beginning. We want to share our journey with you—not just the struggles, but the hope, the lessons, the growth, and the blessings. If you’re going through a hard season, we hope our story reminds you that your breakthrough could be just around the corner.
