Quiver with no Home Janet Kuypers 9/23/16 I didn’t have a job for almost nine months then, when I stopped my seven year old car at an intersection two cars hit me and almost killed me... And while I was learning to walk my apartment was sold, so suddenly I was unemployed and had no home. It’s a scary feeling; you talk to someone, and when they ask you can get away with “I’m between jobs,” but not having a home, not having a place to call your own, it makes your soul quiver. It makes you feel that you can never have a place you can feel at home where you can feel at peace. At ease. But now, without a home, you can’t feel content with anything around you because nothing is you and nothing is your home.
