I Went From A Home To Homelessness To Follow My Dream

[Author Patricia Yarbrough]

I went from having everything to having nothing, believing one day my dream would come true.
I wanted more than anything in the world to have my book published, I felt I had something to share with the world.

I had survived after the murder of my son.

I received a contract in May 2007, by July 2007, I was homeless.

I cried I couldn't understand, I had just received a contract and now I am homeless.

I refused to give up on my dream. My family told me to come back home, I said no.
I made a choice. I rather stay in the streets and survive my dream than to go home and my dream die. I lived in the streets.

It was the hardest task I ever had to complete. It was my journey,my test of faith if I was going to make it.

I ate in that shop, I bathed in that shop, I cried in that shop, I prayed in that shop, because that was my home for seven months.

I read :Matthews 21:22 God says All things, whatsoever I ask in prayer,believing,I shall receive.

I knew A Silent Scream would one day be published. It did while I was homeless.


I read Matthews 20:29- For everyone that hath forsaken houses ,brothers ,or sisters,or mothers, or fathers, wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake shall receive and hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

I knew God allowed me to be in the situation I was in for him to get the glory. I was afraid of being homeless, I was tired of sleeping on the floor with a blanet behind the curtains in a dressing, I was afraid of not knowing how if I was going to eat or someone would break in the shop and hurt me. I had faith.

Sometimes I got upset I cried but I never gave up. I got on my knees and prayed to God in the midst of my storm.

Sometimes It got so hard, I wanted to run back home, I stood still.
Mattews 8:24-26 is why I am standing her today.

There arose a great tempest in the sea, in so much that the ship was covered with the waves: but God was asleep
Matthew 8:25 And his disciples came to God, and woke him saying Lord,save us: we will die
Matthews 8:26 God said unto them Why are you fearful, Oh ye of little faith? Then God arose, and rebuke the sea; and there was a great calm.

I knew in my situation I knew God was watching over me.

A Silent Scream is published and it is the pass to my future.

Go to the extent to your dream, even it means going alone.

I wrote my next book surrounding my trials and tribulation and I titled it
Will My Morning Ever Come.

I don't write for sympathy, I write to share my blessing from God.

I just read your story.
Glory be to God that you know your God. "They that do know their, shall be strong and do exploit" Dan 11:32b
Keep it up you are not alone. He (Alpha and Omega) is with you.

You are right so many women have died of a broken heart never realizing there was hope. I was a victim of domestic violence, I barely made it through. I thank God for chosing me to face the many obstacles in my life.
I gain my strength through Matthewa 8-24-26, so many times I too wanted to give up, I thought about how good God has been to me, he never gave up on me.
In releasing the most intimate part of my life was when I wrote A Silent Scream. A Silent Scream is the pass to my future.
In reading A Silent Scream it will give you hope, it will give you understanding of grief. So many of us grieve everday and not realizing grief is a process, a process we must all go through, there's no time on how long you grieve after losing someone you love especially a child.

Hello again, I just read "Went From A Home To Homelessness To Follow My Dream". I"m experiencing some of those emotions in my life right now. AWESOME TESTIMONY! Three years working on the same play. I just put it on DVD which was a hugh accomplishment. It deals with domestic violence. I had to learn how to edit video. Well...so many obstacles I faced and still facing. They are all stepping stones. I cried all the time, I prayed, got upset, cried, prayed. I'm still holding on in the name of JESUS!. Thank you again for sharing. It gives someone like me hope to continue. So many women are going through physical abuse and can't seem to escape. Some attempt or committ suicide just to escape the abuse. My stage play is centered around a young couple with two children. The mother has experienced physical abuse for 11 years. I don't have a distribution deal yet but I'm still hoping. Talk to you soon.
