In 5 day's I could be facing homelessness. I was driven out of my hotel room by drunk's & manipulative people. They'd come banging on my door every day looking for someone to extract money from. They'd also dump all their emotional baggage on me & come back the next day & repeat the cycle again.

They never wanted any real help, they just wanted someone to sustain their habits. Eventually I cut myself off from them & withdrew for my peace of mind, but they came knocking even more. Their ear's were shut, only hearing what they wanted. It was once a peaceful hotel to live, but all it takes is a few wolf's to upset the flock.

Within a few months of their arrival they drew the attention of the authorities, over and over they caused grief to all the other residents. No matter how many complaints were lodged the management turned a blind eye to these agitators.

So I just left, having just enough money for another place for 6 day's.
What I do after that is in God's hands, all I can do is wait for a window of opportunity.

Amen.

Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. 20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless.
