I need answers and will be in prayer today for help!
Today, I feel that I am not equipped to take care of my mother anymore. I feel that I should take her to a nursing home for Alzheimer's patients. My sister is supposed to help out, but is not consistent in helping out. Furthermore, she suggested starting a nursing home business with me and using some of my retirement income to pay for the start of this business. I told her I could take care of 3 patients meals and cleaning up, but she said that she would not be able to do anything to help!!!#@?? I am tired of her absenteeism in the work department, so I don't want to keep ENABLING a lazy sister. She borrows everything from my underwear to my clothes. She has lost 50 lbs and wears a size 8 yet, I a size 20 cannot find my tops, t-shirts, or panties, for she is forever in all my clothes. Which makes me eat in anger!
Next, I need to sell my house here in Covington, Ga and leave for Texas. I will try to hear from God today, but Texas has a bigger ministry under Bishop Jakes (world renowned) minister, with over 50,000 members. I feel he can help me address my porn issues, lack of discipline with eating, and anti-social habits I have picked up from being hurt and getting too close to others. I don't have any friends or family in Texas that I know of, but that is what makes it exciting because i know it will just be God and me.
Yesterday I was researching the Internet and if I really want to go to OT school the cheapest place to pay for school is South Dakota, funny I am actually considering going there alone and trying it. I interviewed with Brown Mackie College yesterday for the OTA program and it is $350 per credit hour and although I will try it I cannot go after more debt without the confidence that I can make it.
I want a new start. I am still working the job for $10 a hour with Teleradiology, but honestly, I don't see this as a career move. Financially, it is not going to help make any real changes in my life. My tuition is due at Dekalb Tech and I only have enough money to pursue the nursing degree for about 2 semesters. I have not been accepted into the program, but have high hopes. (Incidentally, Dekalb has a 49% retention rate which is bad for students who graduate from this facility, wish I had done my research before applying to this school)
I am frustrated with trying to stay in Georgia. I used to help at the homeless shelter, now one of the felons who lived at the shelter is wanting me to help him out financially. He wants to do odd jobs at my house to pay for his stay at the shelter. He says he has a lot of mental conditions. The only reason he feel I should help him is because we have used him to help pick mom up a couple of times when we could not pick her up ourselves. I don't want this situation to go with me into 2011.
The new church I have joined wants me to come to church working, working, working. I wasn't a member when the Bishop there assigned me to the Christmas committee. I had made the mistake of giving a $300 donation from my last job in July. He got the impression I was made of money and wanted me to help out financially. I do believe in giving, but feel taxed under this leadership. Another pastor said that i really need to just come to church to rest due to the stress of being a caregiver. Sorry, to drop all this negative, but I needed to tell someone the truth about how I was feeling. You have been such a good listener, so I hope your day is going much, much better than mine.
This is not a plea for help or assistance, I just need someone to pray that I hear from God as to what to do!
