EVICTION DAY

December 14, 2016 was eviction day.  I woke up to mixed emotions.  It was going to be the end of a long ordeal; so I thought.  Once the day was over, I was supposed to be able to breathe.  I knew I would still have feelings of hurt and sadness but at least some of the stress would be unloaded.  You see, I was not the one being evicted.  I was doing the evicting.  It had been a long process that had taken months.  It should have never come to this point.  There were lawyer fees, court fees, tears and too many sleepless nights.

Why Was I Sad?  

The person I was evicting was my brother.  Yep, you read correctly.  More detail on that relationship on another post, maybe.  Not ready to talk about it yet.  May never be able to share.  Still hurting.

The day began as scheduled, than I got the call at work.  Hey Kim, I think the house is on fire.  I am around the corner but it has to be the house.  I know they are being evicted today.  I will go check it out.  Than the pictures came through via text…It was the house.  Than the Sheriff called and was like oh the house is on fire…..And so on and so on.  Fear came over me.  I felt helpless.  The only thing I cared about was that everyone was okay.  Thank God everyone was okay.

It’s funny, many people did not realize what I was going through in 2016. And this situation was just one of the trials.  They say God does not give you more than what you can handle.  I believe this to be true for both good situations and bad.  Apparently, God felt that I could handle the valleys.  I have mentioned God a few times in this post.  Yes, I am a believer.  However, let me be transparent and not front.  No, I do not go to Church as much as I should.  No, I am not in the word daily.  Yes, I sometimes curse like a sailor etc…I am a work in progress.  I won’t judge you and please don’t judge me.  I just believe that it was faith in a higher power which I call God that truly got me through the valley.  I also believe that I have work to do to prepare me for all my blessings to come.  Let the healing and the work begin!
