My situation likely will necessitate me to relocate; sooner rather than later. I won't get into details except to say that things are underway in getting my parents the help they need and it is becoming clear that I cannot continue to remain living peaceably in this house. I have been forced due to my mom's health in particular to seek help against her wishes and it is an on again and off again war zone and heading to a worse situation as time goes on. In the short term I am praying to get a new home health care aide as this person has some serious problems and apparently was institutionalized in the past.
Of course as with all situations not knowing the Lord brings about the destruction of us all. Ultimately it is for their spiritual state that I am most concerned and they have the resources to get further help; as it is there is some assistance daily but it could be 7 days a week up to full days covered on their insurance which should clear any day now to cover their current help. My mom once again is thinking of a nursing home; although the impetus was a fall which she had tonight where she was miraculously delivered from any injury but I was forced against her wishes to get an ambulance and of course they had to respect her wishes and refusal with a waiver not to get medical treatment. In her state she is NOT fit to continue remaining in this residence and my dad ideally could move with her into the facility in question that has a separate place for memory care; although I could find some way to take care of him myself and or have an aide. I may have to force the issue with a social worker at some point but it isn't recommended.
I hope to have some way to continue on this site if wherever I were to stay has WIFI. No doubt my time constraints working more hours to make ends meet would affect my free time. Prayer is appreciated for God's will to be done whatever I end up doing.
I will keep you and your parents in my prayers. May all things come into place in a pleasing way and may God open up the hearts of your parents. May God place you in a new home that is reasonable in rent, comfort, and all your housing needs.
I guess you can see from the summary the current status; I have things for now calmed down but can't make decisions based on either a crisis situation or a day or two when things seem to go smoothly.
I have honestly run short of new ideas on this site; things are so terrible I don't really need to give any more evidence here as to world events. Apparently from what my Pastor says the powers that be have stated outright they plan to eliminate the population of the earth by 4 billion by 2030. That with the statistics of people coming into the country and how close to the midnight hour we are in regard to World War at this point what more can I say? Let's pray for wisdom if this dockworker strike hits; haven't heard what day that may be.
I would probably try to live with another believer if I could. As to the subject of a place to stay I have a friend out here who I am helping as much as I can as he is on disability so he can keep his apartment. Pray for wisdom with my finances and for him to find if possible part time work; he is an artist as well and has a recent opening to show stuff but with his health he had to cut short one of the recent events as his gout; and other health problems made his legs feel like they are on fire. He has a serious weight issue with diabetes as well.
May the Lord guide you with the end of the current repairs and bless and protect you and your family. Agape;
I hope things work out ok for you brother . As long as you have a mobile phone , mine is on a 4G sim card , you should be able to get on here ok . I don't have any other internet apart from my mobile phone and I'm in North West Europe at the moment ( for work ) and can get on here fine . Let us know how you are keeping brother .
Am hopeful at least for a matter of days or a few weeks to be able to hold fast here. If the issue ends up being my own anger then I certainly can lift that up in prayer as I told my mom; and if I can't deal with it then I'll be forced to move on. The good thing about this is it has brought several in church to be more focused on prayer as there are many other needs that have to be addressed that seem to be going under the radar so to speak. It is worth anything; of course to see others besides myself in my family come to the Lord and their spiritual welfare certainly has to be the ultimate goal here along with God's requirements for their care.
I appreciate your support. If I were to go back to Pittsburgh I would probably go out with those who evangelize frequently during the week and avail myself of that opportunity along with likely full time work again so my time would be reduced. Also I wouldn't pay for the data coverage unless I happen to stay temporarily at a place with WIFI. I will see what happens; I feel I have touched on most issues that I felt led the last few years to mention as topics here. Also in the Pittsburgh area there are several Bible studies and church fellowships along with personal friendships that I would reinvest in time wise. That is likely not going to happen permanently at least until my dad with Dementia also goes to a residence which he is against now; he could for now get an aide as my mom does.
Thanks for your prayers; let me know your needs as well.
I hope you stay with us here even if you may not post as often. Having conversation with you is a blessing to me and of course, I want to know how to pray for you.
I am preparing to begin posting on a series of topics I discussed with Chris a month or so ago. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide me in this endeavor since it seems He is leading me to do so.
Please pray for the installation of the counters to go well. They came a few weeks ago with the counters prefabricated but we had requested plywood under the laminate and they put particle board. So they needed to redo the process. Looking forward to having our sink, stove, and all installed so that we will have full use of the kitchen.
I look forward to meeting with you here in the future. God Bless.
