A crackhead stole my Nikes and my mattress

The world is truly coming to an end. What kind of world is it that we live in when a hard working young woman, who has long since been out of the 'hood, can get her AF-1's and her mattress stolen from her own house??!!

Let me explain...well somewhat, the details are still somewhat fuzzy to me as well....

Yes, my sneakers were stolen from my home....mind you I have somewhat of a shoe fetish, all kinds of shoes, I just love shoes...and I have lots of shoes, but of all the shoes I own only my BEST and FAVORITE pairs went missing! (I'm taking this as a personal attack!) A couple of months prior to the missing shoes, my mattress was "given" away, because someone in my household "could have sworn I said I no longer wanted it?!" After a little investigating, it was uncovered by yours truly, that apparently a member of my household had some 'not so upstanding' friends who unbeknownst to him were criminals i guess and they took certain "liberties" in our home and with our property to include household vehicles..... So that's crack incident number one...

Then today I find out that a close relative of mine is a crackhead (literally) and has basically smoked/shot up everything that he owned....houses, vehicles, job, and most importantly his family. All lost.... Another family member, closely related to this one, is on the verge of doing some hard time for drug related charges....I'm talking scales, baggies, the whole nine....oh wait, did I mention this second family member is only a teenager???!!

Needless to say, I have a lot going on in my life right now...I keep those that I love that are having difficulties in prayer and I am grateful for my life and everything that the Lord continues to bless me with...including my right mind...
