During this period, I devoted significant time to my employment and my involvement with a homeless agency, while also actively participating in theatrical endeavors. The demands of these commitments diverted my attention from the economic turmoil caused by the 2008 financial crisis. Nevertheless, I was undergoing a profound spiritual trial, which I attribute to the years of reciting the Psalms. This practice had acclimated me to the fluctuations of life's experiences, enabling me to articulate curses against spiritual adversities with increasing proficiency. As I encountered greater opposition, I learned to assertively counteract these challenges. I felt compelled to express my frustrations with heightened urgency and intensity. Over the course of four months, I engaged in passionate struggles through these pronouncements. Throughout my life, I had come to recognize that extreme trials often preceded significant movements within my family. However, I was also acutely aware of the formidable opposition to my aspirations, based on previous experiences during family relocations. I found myself confronting a formidable adversary. At the peak of my fervent declarations, I encountered a level of spiritual turmoil that was unprecedented for me. Through this period of desperation, I discerned that certain Psalms were intended to be proclaimed with fervor, akin to battle cries issued by priests prior to engaging in warfare. I experienced these Psalms as confrontations with malevolent forces, during which I felt a palpable sense of victory, as if the opposing spirit had retreated. Simultaneously, we were achieving notable success in our professional endeavors and within our nonprofit organization. I contributed to the development of the homeless agency by assisting in the installation of the trim package in its new facility. During this time, I underwent a transformation in my relationships with individuals dedicated to supporting the marginalized and those who had experienced profound loss. This period marked a time when God was softening the hearts of my family.
